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?
I'd like a second edge and have been pondering what way to go as well.
Even so far as to look at Haumole and Keaon - although neither full me with confidence for their price - Keaon is hope that he is fully 80 min fit, Haumole seems to require he goes on a try scoring run and doesn't end up in Origin.
Of the above, I keep coming back to Carty.
He's started in 9 of 12 possible games; 3/6 when Lane was available, all 6 when Lane had been out.
Lane isn't sure back till R20, so hopefully a good enough run, and looks about a 48 average as an 80 min edge.
He also strikes me as someone that can have a fortunate game resulting in an 80 pointer... not to expect it, but if you get lucky...
Demerits are notably better than Fords, which doesn't reflect great on Ford as a fantasy player.
Bullemor seems like a guy who can be very busy, build great base stats, but misses all the over valued attacking stats (e.g OLs, crabbing etc).
My alternative is an extra WFB, but Carty is $100k more for a similar likely average, but seems considerably less risk
