NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 75 - Captaincy fails

Welsh Mafia wrote:People looking at AFB, is that because you can’t afford Yeo or because you think afb scores more?

I'm going with Yeo, but AFB is the other I considered. Cash saved could be handy, but mostly because he's pretty certain to play all 5 remaining games, while Yeo's a Rd 27 risk, along with Cleary and definitely no Hopgood.

AFB's typically been a 50 average guy and made a pretty big leap this season. Remaining draw looks pretty good to bag another couple of tries, but I'd rather go with the proven gun in Yeo and hopefully isn't rested or I can still field 17 in the final round.

To be fair I can get away with JDBs replacement not even being a MID. 

Feel like Murray, Horse, Hopgood and Cheese should be plenty of bodies to cover the rest of the year.

Everyone here debating Yeo vs AFB meanwhile I'm selling him and Hands to get Cleary.

In unrelated news, I wish everyone a Berry good morning

I went Harris to DCE last week, for 2 less points than Kiraz in emergency

Now seriously thinking JDB to Harris lol. Expensive exercise - in hindsight have wasted a trade - but can’t take back last weeks move

Not convinced Tapine and AFB are worth the extra, McInnes won’t play 80 again, Butcher ehhh, MoFO meh, Sorensen blehh

Does anyone have a crystal ball and can tell me if HGraham and Colquhoun play meaningful roles in Round 27? Would definitely alleviate the bye/resting problems

Tohu seems like a no go now after the comments made by the coach regarding minutes?

I do agree that all the other options feel really meh though

Ahead of the game?

Wouldn't selling JDB and Hands to get Cleary actually make sense?

I would be definitely be getting Yeo over those other Mids if I didn't already have him, no question at all.

If you don’t have Cleary then any trade for him makes sense

JDB to Joe Ofahengaue (278k) anyone? lol

Yeah Just don't see why anyone would sell AFB and hold JDB with 1 trade left. Especially after holding AFB through the bye and copping 9 from Hands.

I have no reason to trade, but i really want to! Send help

Yeah it does, I was just trying to set up the Berry joke

In all seriousness I need to cash Hands down 30k to afford JDB to Cleary and Rocco seems like the best bet, running outside SJ with that insane draw.

I had Rocco Berry at the end of 2021 and he looked pretty good even then, don't see why he can't score well.

Ah okay. Jokes aren't really my thing.

I'm going the max cashout red dot loop option for Hands. Could backfire with some carnage, but it's time to smash 1k+ every round.

Other option is DRussell for a potentially decent reserve option. No idea on JS though with the Dragons revolving doors.

I’m the same, a privileged bunch we are.

But JDB has to go. Not sure Cheese is a like for like replacement

No trades looks good to me. I'm trading Manu to Yeo, but he's a keeper CTR and looks risky this week with Lemu potentially under a cloud. Roosters probably went left all game because they were playing for whatever Tupou's record was with nothing else to play for.

You could argue Cheese is a like for like replacement of JDB as they'll both likely be playing 1 of the next 5 games

You're going to have about five months of not being able to trade coming soon. I don't know whether that means you trade now or you shouldn't.

Was going to say that if you're trading down to centres you're showing a disappointing lack of faith in the Sevenator, but holy shit he's 556k.
