If Haas doesn’t play Round 20 would you expect them to rest Carrigan as well?

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

I almost never post as I always seem to be trying to catch up on 20+ pages of topics and trying to absorb all the collective genius that is in the forums.

I'm doing terrible this year which I'm putting down to a variety of excuses, but still love fantasy so want to do as well as I can till the trades run out.

Anyway...there's actually a question in here somewhere...

What are people's thoughts on Briton Nikora in for Horse? He plays 2 extra games, secure position, fairly consistent and I would gain 110k from the trade. If Nikora gets 50 average from here then horse would need almost 65 avg to match him...It would be my last one and would mainly be for the cash for future upgrades.

It wouldn't be as exciting each week but would be better for the long term I think

Others thoughts?

Massive props to the forumites who are doing so well - especially Booze - I used to follow his updates on his team trackers when he was doing it before it was the cool thing to do. Very well deserved - may it continue for 9 more weeks (although maybe make it a bit closer for the excitement factor   )

I really hope not, as I own him, haas, tapine, and horsbrah lol

Who knows though! We'll still be down a few other forwards i think ?

Probably explains the lack of opportunities in 1st Grade recently..

Jed Cartwright time traveler confirmed

Russell is similarly priced and in a team much more likely to score pts on the regular

Cheers for the comment Neillo, haha think it will get tight very soon over the next month

I think Horse is worth keeping but also think Nikora is worth a punt (try scorer, good byes, fun to watch)
Throw your team up for a looksie

But he’s only playing there for 1 game and then back to being not so useful. If you think he’s scoring a hatty though then fire away

Although I suppose you won’t want to use Avo for the rest of the year unless it’s gone tits up

I'd assume you're picking both as a cash out and for this weeks points tho? And then a green dot should shit reall hit the fan?

Yeah true, it’s a coin toss since they are both the same price and both DPP

He'd be behind VTW as deep CTR cover as well as playing this week, but really Avo has a teensie bit of pedigree and I'm going for the upside too. Not expecting much, but all the other centre options outside Manu feel like pus as well

Remember when Bird and Manu were locked in keepers for the entire year in like, week 8, with the position sorted? Yeah
