NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 75 - Captaincy fails

is there a monetary restricion why youre looking at him?

or is it a positional need?

he doesnt have a secure big min role, or an all action style, hes a good player just not a strong fantasy scorer

I cant think of any tigers injuries that would lead to an advance in minutes, because they have reserve mids coming out their arse, seyfarth, matamua, james, etc

The more I think about it the more I think I’m better off waiting a week on JDB and reassess my trade options next week.

With Drinkwater on the bye I can trade him down to Garrick, who also covers Penis in rd27. That leaves money to sell JDB to anyone I want

Bit of both - I've been absolutely rooted with JDB, Holmes, Graham and Hands all needing to be given the boot.

I'm locking in Cleary and another gun around the 700k mark - probably Croker or Matto - along with a 220k cash out. That leaves mid 400s for someone that will probably end up 18th man.

My team sucks!

TU: C Cleary
TD: C SJ

I am 100% buying Cleary either way, but really feeling SJ vs the Titans this week. My rank is shit so figure I may as well swing for the fences.

Bringing in a 900k player averaging 70 to not captain him, is definitely a trade that could be made in NRL Fantasy

I reminded of a post you made earlier in the year, “if you sold cleary you don’t get fantasy”

Which stung cos I had just sold him

So captain someone else at your peril

Selling a guy and not captaining him for a specific week are two very different things.

Head says captain Cleary, heart says lets gone Wahs and captain SJ

So you see, the math is such that in the absence of scientific entropy the flux capacitor sums to the derivative of the mean of the medians.

In conclusion, Cleary scores 76 confirmed.

TU: Keep Drinky rd 23 and miss Fifita
TD: Trade Drinky for Fifita, and play VTW rd 23

I'm rolling the dice on AFB for my JDB trade.

Loves some attacking points and their run home is full of shit teams

Up the Wahs!

We'll smash 'em by 30

Is 4 Panthers too many? Looking at adding To'o to go with Cleary Edwards and Tago

If you're counting green dots its only 3 if that helps!

Thinking I’ll loop Manu as I think Kris will do ok against Tigers,if he does well I guess I can save trading JDB for another week in case Hands gets a late call up. If Manu flops who do you guys think I should bring in for JDB?

2 trades 58k

Grant
Matterson Horse Haas
Fifita IPap
SJ Cleary
Garrick Lemuelu
Kris Ponga Edwards

Hopgood
DCE
Hynes
Hands

Manu
Bula
Colquhoun
JDB

Im thinking something pretty left field and probably silly but I have 5 trades left. It depends how Ted and Manu go tomorrow but I'm seriously thinking;

JDB - JKing/Barnett
Hands - JMK

Obviously King is the most expensive I can afford to get JMK.

Here's another smokey MID, Twal. Back to back 50s and you'd think some decent minutes with that bench.

respect

Thoughts on Campbell if he retains the FB position (which I suspect he might) ?. Titans have a Storm/Panthers soon.

Not a bad run home

I am modeling it in my team at the moment….looks nice

If I was you I’d be trading in lots of Bulldogs*
