NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 69 - Nice

Hynes - 8 rounds left - 616.8 pts
DCE - 8 rounds left - 471.2 pts
Moses - 7 rounds left - 448.7 pts
Munster - 8 rounds left - 449.6 pts
Cleary - 8 rounds - 556.8 pts
             7 rounds (returns rnd 21 or rested 27) - 487.2 pts
             6 rounds (returns rnd 21 & rested rnd 27) - 417.6 pts
SJ - 7 rounds - 438.2 pts

This gets me slightly excited to bring in DCE instead of Cleary for the run home and use the funds to purchase the previously ungettable Murray. Cleary becomes a no brainer if he suits up this weekend tho.

Hello guys current team is this…. I have 11 trades left plus 601k itb have 5 outs this week before trades, I have Haas, Horse JDB all out and am down to two mids.

I have Alex Johnston and Seb Kris as well on byes. Looking at my team I feel Bula and AJ are trade outs. Then I will need Harry Grant as well via Robson most likely. Thinking maybe hold Boyd for that valuable DPP and use him as 17th man. Mind you could straight swap him to Murray as well potentially after Souths bye.

Main issue is those mids though if I hold Haas I likely have to trade Horse or JDB to Yeo pending he gets through origin. Can’t see myself being able to have Haas, Yeo, Fifita and Cleary can’t see how I have the money….

601k spare 11 trades and…

Robson
Haas Matto Hopgood
Preston Bateman
Hynes SJ
Penis Manu
Teddy Ponga Bula

Boyd Hands Lemu Brimson
Horse JDB AJ Kris


Any suggestions please what to do with this mess.

Bula to Garrick I’m quite keen on.
AJ to someone……..

Personally move lem to centre manu to fb and bring in grant and yeo for aj and bula, I think you should have more then enough.

Then next week manu back to ctw and brimson to fb to give you a much stronger bench

VTW'S shaky job security and bye, does make Tago appealing

One thing to consider is if Cleary returns Rd 21 and rested in Rd 27 it's only 60 odd points, and does the person you play I your 17 over Cleary score more than 60 in two games?

Would also be pretty interested to know whether Cleary is goalkicking on his return. There were games earlier in the season where they trusted Crichton with that even with Cleary on the field. Would be a ten-point swing (also would make Crichton interesting as an alternative to Tago).

Hoping to get through TLT and Origin unscathed this week, with JDB and Horse on bye I don’t need any problems with Carrigan (Origin rest) and Tohu (Ankle injury). 

Also have Hopgood who could suffer with the troops back. Gonna be interesting

Also did I see a post saying that DPPs will be given after TLT this round?

Yeah I believe it's the final lot of DPP status given out this TLT

Well that probably sorts my trades then if Bateman gets some MID action this week. Will see if the fantasy gods are kind. Will probably end up using all 4 haha

Gun options... Yeo (safe scoring but may get a rest towards the end of the year) or Tino (should play every game with big minutes if Titans want to make the finals)

Cash outs... Garlick? Mini Tino? Wouldn't pay any more than that. Slim pickings here

I've gone Turpin to Cotter for a handful of change

BSmith probably back this week off the bench but Turpin stalled his price rises with his last score

Cotter will need to play big minutes in the run home if the Cowboys want to do anything.

Might get a lower score this week backing up

Was thinking I'd finally get Horse in rd21 but might be tricky funds wise. Seems a no brainer to go Murray instead for a massive $170k less and go all year Horse-less... just the fact that Rabbitohs still have another bye to come that is annoying. 

Meanwhile, Latrell due back rd21 could be a massive POD for the run home for anyone able to get him but again has that bye still to come so might not be worthwhile over the likes of Garrick.

The help in the app says explicitly on the 18th so next week. The pop-up is worded confusingly but it's supposed to mean next week (before r21) not next round (round 20)

If you exclude Cleary’s injury game, average goes up 5 to 74

DPP update is next week.

Rabbits, I'm similar to you in that I have 3 gun MIDs out, and 2 available.
if I trade someone like Bula to Yeo, then I'll have a team for this week, but then in following weeks I'll be Mid heavy, especially as I also want Murray.

Tohu Harris is my lowest ranked MID , but he's also playing this week so can't trade him.
Might have to ditch Haas, JDB or Horse in order to field a good team and maintain squad balance.

Other options are play short this week (not ideal if missing a high scoring MID position)

Or trade in a cash out MID based on TLT. Was looking at Ryan Sutton, which still might work if he's going to play this week

Gotta be worth getting a cash out mid, rather than lose one of the guns

Ahh sweet as, well that makes it a bit more dicey. Will see how things go

Will probably get Bateman anyway. Fifita/Bateman seems as good as you can get at EDG. Guess the DPP would be handy for flexibility only

Thanks for that. No date mentioned on the desktop messages. This week and last's sounded like it would happen tomorrow. I went IPap over Batman, so if they gave Bats MID dual a week early, I'd be somewhat annoyed at the bailout.

Tigers playing first is somewhat helpful this week. At least get an idea of what is happening with Simpkin/Blore before moving them on.

Just a bit concerned that Fifita is the last game of the round but hopefully he plays
