NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 41 - Captain Sipley

A well balanced team can score OK despite having a few dud scores

Yep, I scored 1006, despite 9 scores of 45 or less. Hopefully they improve this week.

I don’t think the Panthers v Tigers updates are in yet.
Hosking is 49 and Bula is 45 on footystats (and the figures add up), but only 47 and 43 on fantasy.
There are probably others in that game but not Cleary.

Hey Matt, just a bit of friendly advice, as much for your sanity as everyone else on here.
You don’t have to justify your trades or your team to anyone.

Ahh sweet as l, only own young Cleary from that game so probably done for the week

Origin?

Young is good, but I'd say he's below the following in terms of Origin pecking order:
Murray
Martin
Koala
Olakau'atu
Matterson
Frizell

Warbrick to Bula to collect 100k is nice. 

Will be playing him in the 17 to cover Miller aswell, surely a try is on the cards

2 points extra will get me to 900

Manu, Ikat and Sj also getting an extra point

Man, it is going to be touch and go if I can do Alamoti/Preston to JDB/Bird with 337k ITB. I think I may miss since I assume Preston will go down a bit.

Did that trade last week #momentum

Also, the Tigers/Panthers points (Hosking and Bula) have come through for me, plus I think iKatoa snagged an extra point. I went from 934 to 939

Manu and SJ seem to line up on footystats and the app

I wasn’t going to play Bula so thought it might be worth another look. Kid looks pretty decent as a fantasy scorer so happy days to do it now

The money might allow another nice upgrade so fingers crossed

yeah they show up on both, but they haven't been added to my score for the round yet
It looks like I'm gonna finish on 903 points

Ahh okay, I calculated my team score and it looks to be correct. 

Lockout can’t be far away now

This week my team scored 60 more than last week and that was 30 more than the week before.

The way you were carrying on I thought you were in the top 100. You are a few points ahead of me and I consider this my worst ever season.

There are blokes In the top 10 on Here that you barely here boo out of in terms of modesty. Could learn a thing or two from them.

Are the byes kind or unkind to Titans players that play Origin?

Wondering if it’s time to say goodbye to Tino

I do think momentum can have some truth to it in fantasy. I wouldn’t say it’s by what your team scores, I would say it’s by what your team scores in comparison.
MTB site has a nice little trajectory graph for your overall rank in the team analyser section, providing a visual representation of your “form” or momentum.
