NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 39 - Wow no Trbojevic, Cleary, Hynes, Bateman, Smith , Papenhuyzen

Very hard to go past Koula (and I won't be) but just feels like a classic fantasy trap ready to spring this year. 73 avg over 4 games at FB, will probably go and average 35 this year while Turbo is out.

Lots of tempting coin goats (Moale, Koula, Atkinson, JBrails, Cole, Blaize, Seyfarth, Mikalele).

Shame I'm trading out top tier guns.

He has the perfect bye schedule for me to cover all the major byes, with Kiraz and Iro.

Piakura is a shitto but with other injuries about, maybe he comes in handy? Can't see him getting another 10 (bar injuries) and his cash price right now isn't really worth anything.

iPap just out for a week, Seyfarth isn't a buy.

Think I might take a punt on Atko and save one more trade this round, brings me to five this year. Don’t think I saved four over the entire season last year. Leaves a bit over $400K, but I figured that amount is easier to work with when dealing with Cheese and Kris in round 14, than the $18K I would have been left with had I done Bateman to Aitken.

Looking like he may be sharing minutes going forward though, and hasn't been playing that well.

I forgot about the sharing of minutes. Yeah, probably time to go!

Straight swap for Weeks but that would mean 2 x WFB, as I want to bring in Koula for Turbo. Not keen on that. Back to the drawing board!

Just updated my team tracker lads it’s been a while if you could please check it out I’d appreciate it.

Anyone planning to captain Hynes this week? I will have him sitting safely in my reserves just in case he plays and comes off early.

Who are our captains and vice captains? I'm planning to go for C Fifita, VC Brown.

Apparently Crichton has really bad bruising on his foot, if looking at captaining him.

“Flegler may not play this season. The injury is very serious,” Wayne Bennett tells

Bennett confirms Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow return for

and says Trai Fuller will be back soon.

Turbo/Salmon/Chan are worth the exact same as Yeo/Weekes/Cole

It really screws my team balance, but the cash gen and gun are so so tempting

Getting Koula instead of Cole leaves me $648k which is a bit of a useless amount

He'll be my captain if he is still in the team 30mins pre lockout. Carrigan VC.

Yeah think this is where I'm at, Hynes (c) Patty (vc)

Two trades made and 942k in the bank

As of now, captain Hynes and vice captain Gus Hobblefoot for me.

Looking at Strange and Salmon to Weeks and Nikora. Although could be swung by Matto or Fainu for cheaper. Gives me;

Robson
Pat May Cotter
Nikora Angus
Galvin Hynes
Iro Talagi
Armstrong Garrick Drinkwater

Weeks Lussick Atkinson Plath

Hughes KPP Kris Fuller

Not sure if its worth punting Strange and just do Salmon to Weeks but means I have no edge cover and playing KPP.

Probably the same for me.

Grant last 3 against Parra 4 tries 73, 80 and 71…… hmm but no Hughes or Pap.

VC Angus or Grant?
