NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 54 - 11 players is enough

I'm coming around to trading Alamoti to an edge (or a WFB..lol). Can spend around 570k

I think Ford annoys me given his bye in round 16. I'll probably end up wanting to flick him for the second bye to get some rnd 16 numbers up...

Carty is slightly cheaper and plays both this round and round 16, but its very questionable as to whether he'll still be starting...

Luki.. exists.. lol. But I doubt he starts next week and beyond with Nanai back.

Bullemor would be a left field gamble. Puts up good numbers if he gets the mins, but probably just doesn't get enough to be worth grabbing. Might end up playing edge any time in the next couple of weeks..

Alternatively I wait til next week and get IPAP (would have to downgrade Niko to someone 130k plus cheaper than him)

Any thoughts folks?

What about trading him to The Edge?

Edge:

I'm happy to have a cash bet with anyone on this forum that Ponga doesn't make 80 minutes.

Wonder if there is already a market on sportsbet.

I’ll take that that bet just because it seems like a total Kent move for someone to bet on him getting injured. Karma should guarantee me the win

I would be pleasantly surprised but I doubt it, iirc, other than that one game were he started the first 20-minutes off on the edge, he’s only been put out there to cover injuries and they don’t usually like giving those ones.

I'm sure this has been covered, only just noticed this.

Sorry and thanks.

How about that fucking Karma.

I do genuinely want that bet!

Thinking about him to Ponga Sunday if I’m desperate. I’m only running Hooker to centre this week with no wfb though.

For rounds 13, 16, 19 only your starting 13 players count.

Reserves will only count if they are subbing in for a starting 13 player who didn't play.

This has been known all season (and the app/website had a little pop up all week reminding people of the fact)

I would wait for next week and go for either Ipap or Bateman - Bateman is cheaper which has him ahead for me but if I can afford either one, it'll be hard to choose.

If you want a WFB instead of an EDG, then Dylan Edwards is your man.

it occurred to me that if I was going to go the Alamoti + Niko to IPAP + sub 320k shitto, then perhaps I could find a sub 320k shitto for this week... bit risky, those sorts of 'trades in advance' plans usually backfire.

Glad i didnt think of this yesterday, probably would have grabbed big Val...

Other than Hopgood, none of the best edges are playing this week.
If you had someone like Ford he'd be fine to play, but not sure if its worth trading him in

For edges there are lots of good ones that play 16+19 (Nikora, iPap, Bateman are my picks) so i think better off just waiting a week for them

Pick 2 just for this week - Ponga Drinky Gutho Garrick

Yep you're right, coming around to this. Seems silly to get Ford or Carty back when they've just got to go again in a month or less time..

I mean, you could keep Ford around longer, but he's a tough hold.

Koala?
Zero ownership says Matt should be mustard

Man I am buggered next week if JDB is suspended, I would be 3 Mids down with Hopgood and Greig not available as well. Would just play with 16 I think.

Someone said he just copped a fine.

I know you guys are mostly overall but Harry Grant is a buy over Cook/JMK if you are H2H right? 45-60 mins Hooker in Origin for 13/19 so he likely backs up and he is #1 Hooker this year.

Still haven't seen any info on EKatoa which is annoying.

True

Personally I am discounting him as coming back from injury and not even guaranteed to start , but he is an option with good byes if you want to go that way

Just realised that last ridiculous Gif based post was my 5,000th, seems apt

At my current posting rate it's going to be a genuine race between standard retirement age and fanatics immortality (imagine what this message board is going to look like vs the alternative in 15-20 years)

Just on the non guitar themed edge chat, I've taken the path of holding Ford through this next couple of rounds with a plan to upgrade him to someone decent prior to 16. Already have Ipap so it'll be someone like Nikora
