2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 21

I ditched Carty BEFORE his 14 points. No regrets. Averaging mid forties over two rounds there, I know one was injury effected but that's part of his risk. He'll pick up these little niggles.

Sure, I expect him to average 40-45 but are you think he's a keeper or expecting to make money out of him? No.

To be honest, I'd suggest trading him out the week after next when his price has peaked but I imagine it's almost too late now, you may as well keep him around for round 12.

he should improve as the season goes but it may take a while for it all to "click"

I will be interested to see how he goes if and when the get rid of Robson. I still think you want him in your final 17, i just think the others have plenty of time to grab him and no doubt we payed overs MTB.

i think saifiti will be benched - but probably still play some decent mins (maybe come on in the back row with rochow moving to prop 20 mins in or something). saifiti is a really good young player but the quality of his footy really dropped off on the weekend late in the game. thats just age and experience.

Yea I don't see Rochow not playing the 80 mins in any capacity he is their best backrower and producing very solid fantasy scores to boot

Also, Maubbs big score is his real danger because now he's given you that taste, you'll take three weeks of 25s before he hits 30 again, just as you think about trading him out, it'll happen all over again and you'll gleefully boast about how you perservered with him and he'll score consistent 50's now.

Not gonna happen.

Article in paper yesterday saying Saifiti is young and the 4 games have tired him out and he'll be benched for a while..

His scores haven't been too bad if you play him in the Centres
As a second rower they've been horrible.

yeah its not like there have been any other cheap ctrs scoring all that well other than hunt. i'll be happy with a few more 30's and the odd game like yesterday. just gotta hope no more injuries to outside backs mid game.

id be pissed if i had lawrence who scored 15 pts in one play yet still only managed a score of 33.

As a Tigers supporter and Lawrence owner, it's a miracle that I'm even writing this.

Hi my name is Justin, and I too are a Chris Lawrence owner.

Yeah fair call in regards to Aubbs and lack of centre options.

I'm sitting on Dugan and Hunt with Lafai waiting in the wings. Bad call starting with him, I think and now I may as well keep him until first bye round and cash out after that. :-/

760 with Sezer and Croker to come.

Hoping for a point fest down the left side.

What sort of total score is need to crack top 500 by end of round you think?

Alright guys, after captaining Milford this week, selling Aubusson for Hunt, selling Evans for BLaw, basically doing all the wrong things I need Whitehead to score 46 or more points tonight to win my h2h this week.

Is this still possible now that he's been moved back to 2nd row?

I, too, apparently got caught up in the "Lafai will get back to his better form" hype, and now he's just an npr. Next week will probably be the best time to bring in Fensom for Evans, but I'd have to downgrade one of Lafai, PatMat, Gutherson to do such a trade. All three play round 12, and aside from Bowen(job security?) not many options are jumping out at me.

Probably total points between 4050-4100

I'm currently 826th with 3946 with 1 to play.

Fortitude wrote:What sort of total score is need to crack top 500 by end of round you think?

3972 currently puts you at 500th

Given Graham, Mbye and Whitehead are all heavily owned, that's going to jump at least 100 you'd think.

A week ago it was Aubo that was a big headache but now this week it's become CLaw. I know Aubo's score was a once off but he showed a real determined effort in defence and didn't miss a tackle, it's enough for me to think he can average at least 35 a week. CLaw getting a 33 with a try makes me concerned considering his last game he got 46 in base stats with a few mistakes bringing it down to 40.
I'm intent on holding him though for the bye rounds so I'll see how he goes.

Would Fensoms -1 still be calculated into next weeks BE?

Roosters v Warriors changes:


Eels v Panthers changes:

They use a rolling 5 week average, weighted more towards recent results. So another 2 weeks that this will somewhat impact his price.

Milch's sheet has his BE around 70 still so likely he will drop a bit more cash the next 2 weeks, then bounce back a bit.
