Really like these trades. Can just do Levi straight to Crichton but want to get some players actually playing in my squad (have Blaize, chan and Cleary all not playing). Holding Blaize in case he is back in next week otherwise he becomes Chester/Stewart next week.

I would get Iro if I wasn't really concerned about job security when forwards come back. Certainly wouldn't lock in the trade without seeing final team list

Willison?

There hasn't really been any indication that they will ever use him as a backrower. Perhaps if Carrigan gets moved there and Willison gets more minutes in the middle but honestly, with Haas out, I really hope Carrigan stays in the middle, both for the Broncos and for my fantasy team.

Yeah, I didn't think Willison was a 2nd Rower?

I purchased him a couple weeks ago, (Played him for one week, out last week), but I thought he was playing front row exclusively, especially with Haas out.

Looking at that Broncos team though... Who do they put there? Or even at lock if Carrigan moves there.

Oates to 2nd Row, Pereira to wing?

Or Sailor (wing)?

Very late reply, but I want to see the rotations when they don’t have two backline HIAs and a sendoff

As well as Nat Butcher having a baby. Not to mention Wong, EButcher, Sitili could come back at any time on a Robbo whim.

Having said that, he's probably  a buy. But I've been fucked by Robbo too many times, especially recently. I'll wait another week.

Maybe Hetherington? It's getting pretty skinny at edge

Strong feelings that Iro is dropped back to reserve grade once the forward stocks are back, and Talakai moves back to the Centres, but ah well you never know.

Taking the punt to build some funds - Rapana > Iro 309k ITB for moves next week

I'm getting Iro for his 70+ score against the potential wooden spooners this week

Just miss the deadlines like I do...it only takes 3 minutes to log on and go, doh! not another midweek round!

Until COVID hit I never took FPL seriously at all… missed deadlines, missed seasons, didn’t understand price changes (or care), don’t think I realised you could take a -4 hahaha

Then boredom in COVID led to a smartening up and the following season everything touched turned to gold and felt obligated to spent a lot of time pushing to win a prize (I did not officially - the game is stingier than NRL fantasy - but did win some decent cash off a website)

Since then I’ve managed to remember deadlines but my overall rankings have crashed back to reality

I guess that’s the thing huh. Your hoping if he gets 2 games then one of them is a huge one and can average 60 and make 150k before you move him

Obviously I have no real idea but personally I think Iro keeps his spot. Talakai offers a lot off the bench as an impact forward and utility for a backs cover which they currently dont really have.

I can see Hunt missing out to be honest.

Hazelton
Brailey
Kaufusi
Nikora
Wilton
McInnes

Finucaine
Williams
BHU
Talakai

To me he offers more than another 20min bench prop of Hunt

I honestly don't know if he's going to keep his spot once the injured players return, he has the talent to keep his spot.
Just hoping for the best

TU: Teddy + Hutch > Hynes + Chevy (107k left)
TD: Teddy + Hutch > SJ + Crichton (19k left)

going to leave the back 5 pretty bare: Strange, Burbo - Kris, Pappy, JC. with no cover lol, what could go wrong. actually, i guess that 100k could turn lussick and levi into someone like turbo and another cheapie next week

The other positive with Talakai on the bench is that he does offer bench impact in the forward rotation but also if there is a backline injury, the backline can get shuffled without too much disruption. McInnes can cover the extra minutes and Talakai a good centre anyway. It makes sense really. I still don't know which one of the three I'm getting, but will also need to decide early.

You're missing Rudolf, could probably just slot in for Kaufusi.

It's all a guessing game, Talakai has been pretty settled at CTR for a couple of years now, is Iro really such an upgrade that they need to move Talakai to another position, not sure. Per Rev's thoughts they just need to bin Ramien then it would be clear cut.

I think I'll go Chevy instead.

I'm now also toying with the idea of not getting Hynes and getting a cheaper option (DCE/Hughes/Drinkwater) which allows the second trade in to be someone like Smithies whose stocks have really risen while still at sub 600K. Dunno, probably overthinking it all. So current options are;

Rapa - Hynes
Chan/Sitili/Talagi - Chester/Iro/Chevy

or

Rapa - DCE/Hughes/Drinky
Sitili - Smithies

DCE at 750K is a steal if his scoring ticks back upwards.

@multiple.scoregasms that's a hard NO on the burbo lend - ty

“We’ve got a couple of options to replace Jordan,” Walters said.

“Patty and Fletcher Baker can play on an edge so one of those guys will have to shift over and we’ll bring someone into the middle.

“We have plenty of middles, that’s not the problem.

That spells trouble for my wait a week on Hynes plan.....

I don't know if I trust FOG enough to captain him

Might nip down to the Broncs and advise Kevvie that Fletcher Baker is gagging for a run on the edge
