NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 68 - Cooked

Welsh Mafia wrote:As someone who has 1 mid short this week and next, who would be the best trade in option?

Currently have Tohu, JDB, Horse & NAS.

NAS & Horse out this week, Horse and JDB out next.

Looking at maybe Matto / RFM?

I don't think I'd trade in Matto. Prefer AFB perhaps?

Lol NRL Fantasy is trying to spread the love with the pop up on the app. It also says DPP updates rd20 which is kind of misleading since it's after rd 20.

A quick reminder that NRL Fantasy loves you - Round 19 is the last where 13 players will count for your round score. And, the good news keeps coming. Round 20 is bonus trades time (+8 ) and the last DPP updates are due :-)

Warriors flight to Sydney is on Friday night so chances are we should find out about Johnson before the Friday night game.

Hmm I hadnt thought of him. 800k seems a lot when I would rather bring in big guns like Fifi, Cleary grant in the next few weeks.

Matto's scores early in the year were averaging 58 before the injury.

Appreciate he'll be 5/8 this week but will see a fair bit of ball and hoping that he's getting back to full fitness after the injury as calves can be niggly ones

Yeah good points. Has the awkward rd27 bye though. As an owner I've been unimpressed. But can certainly be a gun under the right conditions. If you're looking for value? Not much there, but, .....Jackson Ford? Seems to have hit his straps, dpp, low be, reasonable Warriors draw, could go on a bit of a run?

Ford seems like a great candidate to bring in if you truly and deeply hate yourself

Just realised Haas owners if he is out rd20 then might want to check how many mids you have playing
Horse,JDB,Tapine out that week too

Haha, yep. Which is why I'm considering it with someone else's trades I suppose. But I'll bet the kent continues his run of 60's just to rub it in.

Matt just created a poll to not so humbly brag he has 13, a week before the team lists and during a round in which anything can happen.

Ironically, he's now down to 10

Ah the Camo 2023 bye effect where you lose 3 players the week prior to the bye

In a vacuum, Ramien or VTW

Just looking for a mid range CTR, may likely be EMG cover depending on Lemeulu long term

Leaning VTW just for WFB DPP as I only have Bula/Ponga/Edwards + Manu in CTR

Good point. I could cover with Matto, Hopgood, Harris and NAS, and not sell Haas. Or I might not trade JDB in. But I think I'll still do it.

Given I was too proud to bring hopgood back, there's more chance I delete my team than bring Ford back in... owning him was bad for the soul hahaha

Good spotting. I’ll have Hopgood, Harris, NAS and Carrigan so fingers crossed Carrigan can back up and Hopgood/Harris don’t break

Was considering BST (Bald Shit Truck), but when the Sharks are back to full strength with Finucane, BHU, Hunt and Rudolph, he prob won't get a look in.

I've been looking for similar. And came up with the same two. I prefer Ramien. Just because I might not end up playing him every week, but I certainly would be this week, and I like his match up, and his job security. BUT, VTW means I could do Cogger to Cleary next week if he's back, in one trade. dpp handy too.

You've got me really stuck between AFB and Matto now Mulvy.

Matto's DPP is handy as only having Batman and iPap there until Fifi comes next week.

AFB has been scoring incredible though and definitely the alpha of the pack.

Own 3 eels already (Moses, Hands, Simo) so 4 is asking for trouble come 27 if I were to hold the other 3, which isn't overly unlikely.

TU: Matto & Simonssen
TD: AFB & Russell

Murray too, who was my other potential MID trade in

Going to be a tough one for me. I'll want a cashout next week, might have to hope there's a good MID available. There's a few in the $3-400k range that might work out

Ford or Mitch Barnett?

Yeah just realised that. Will only have Hopgood and Harris

Maybe Yeo comes in for someone. Or maybe a cheap MID cash out if there is any

Or play 1 short
