NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 61 - Picking origin reps for bye planning

Need to likely sell one to get a second mid for this round.

Moses misses more games due to byes - 16, 18, 19, final round 27
Robson misses 16, 19 and 24

Two choices, both of which will leave me with 12 this week

Option 1.

Tatola to Simpkin. Oloapu to Payne Haas next week.

Pros: moneymaking from Simpkin, gets closer to final 21 by bringing back Haas early. Will leave a bit of bank to help other final upgrades.

Cons: Playing at least one short.in R17. Gamble on Haas continuing to get big minutes during Origin. Don't really need a cow (team value 14.4m already), no centre cover at all and low on back cover generally. Already carrying several Origin players

Option 2

Tatola to Simonsson. Oloapu to Boyd next week.

Pros: More scores thanks to theoretically full team in R17 and 11 instead of 10 for R19. Boyd should score better than Simpkin in R19. DPP of both ins could be useful.

Cons: Will need to get Haas at some point. Boyd not a keeper. Exhausts most of bank. Leaves MID cover low. Already have two hookers, just that they don't play the byes now.

(Just writing it down it seems like option two makes more sense despite looking less sexy. Squad before this trade in case there are other suggestions)

Cook
Hopgood Horse JDB
Difita iPap
Hynes DCE
Manu Lemu
Ted Drinky Bula

Robson Preston Sorenson SJ
Ponga Oloapu Makatoa (Ford)

Obbeats wrote:Hi guys. New to Fantasy this year - started in round 5 so a bit behind in points and salary cap, but feel like I'm doing pretty well considering the handicap. Been lurking the forum the past few weeks.

My team looks like this right now:

Turpin
JFH, Fainu,
Hopgood
Hynes, Oloapu
Billy Smith, Manu
Bula, ponga, Drinky

Harris, tatola, te whare, hands, Robson, timoko, lemuelu, jdb, Moses, Okunbor

I'm planning on trading Moses to IPap and Okunbor to a mid. At this point leaning toward Matto or maybe another MID. Then I'll be all set up for 16, 17, 19 and 20.
Was looking at other MID options - is there any reason people aren't talking about Josh King? He seems pretty consistent in minutes and scoring this year.

Edit: just noticed someone mentioned him at the top of this page.

Fifita pockets the most cash and will likely be brought back in at a plummeting price. The others will likely not be brought back in if traded out

Would definitely keep Fifita as he only theoretically misses origin weeks.

Robson and Cook both miss an extra so toss a coin (I'd probably keep Cook)

Edit : Cook actually misses one more so probs gotta be him

Would have to be Cook with the rd20 bye in addition to origin (raiders and dragons also on bye plus origin backup could make that a troublesome week for some). But if you are low on trades I'd probably just hold them all. Turpin is going to need 2 trades.
