2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 17

Am I just being blind because I'm struggling to see where I'm going wrong to start this year
obviously the likes of CWN, Benry etc have to go (likely this week)

Too much invested in mid rangers in the 2RF? maybe?

Smith, Garvey
Woods, Surgess, JTurbo, CWN
Merrin, Taupau, Cartwright, Rochow, Turner, Saifiti
DCE, Hastings, Taylor, JNiko
Aubbs, Gutherson, Green, Benry
Gordon, Mitchell, Barba, Scott, Feeney

$105,000 in the kitty for Welch - Blaw this week pending injuries/suspensions

Made some horrible reserve choices, had Evans with the R and not Carter. Rookie error.

749 and rank 415

I would probably not even get close to the rank again this year.  By the time I hit another 850 something everyone else would already be getting over 900, even 1000.

What score do you need to be on to have a rank like that?

Pretty close to 2300 points.

The upside is that Ferguson is a better chance of scoring decently when playing at CTR. Might not be so bad for you.

Yeah it's not the worst position to be in thankfully. If CLaw contests the charge and wins, I'm golden. Otherwise I've got Barba, Gutherson, Ferguson and J Roberts fighting over 3 spots. I might have to R one of them anyway depending on Carter's judiciary also.

Finished up with 752 pre-update this week. Would've cracked 800 easy if Captain Harris wasn't shifted. Gordon, Gutherson and J Roberts as NPR kinda hurt, specifically Gordon when I chose Ferg over him

I had him last year and remember him doing something boneheaded in the final minutes of a game late in the season and was hit with a suspension. Didn't see what he did tonight, but sounds bad if sin bins/send offs were mentioned.

I'm thinking of getting Merrin out this week. Hasn't been playing well and the uncertainty of his illness. I don't know whether to bring Bromwich, Frizzell, Tolman or Ma'u in.

803 scored
2633 ranked
Best I've done. Keep this up and Honeysett will be the only regular in the bottom league next year and will have to captain it. Oh wait .......
Did I mention I smoked him in Random's league ?
Condolences go out to finger muppet as well

I know that is massive props for MF being so highly ranked. I would also like to shout out to @c0da who is in the Top 50 at the moment.

Ma'u for the byes and his PODness

And also great work on your rank mate.

Oh yeah, looks like I've picked up my first win of the year in Random's league and it's against MF? Given his huge ranking (grat's btw mate), I'll take it! Upset of the year.

Up nearly 16k ranks to 6212 this week. Only trade was Whitehead in for Bhana so some of those preseason darlings repaying my faith. Skipping TMM for sure. 0 kick metres for a half is unheard of, will need a big play every single week to average more than 30 which is right where Taylor ends up IMO. At this stage only trade will likely be JNiko to Parcell to replace Surgess in the 17 this week

789
Rank 518
