NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 43 - Measles

You'd assume Wighton scores well this week without Walker

I can't in good faith recommend anyone bring in a Bulldogs winger that doesn't kick goals and is priced at 50 after 5 tries in 5 weeks

Bye schedule is great but it's still the Bulldogs

Arthars Kiraz

Caught up on last nights game. Thoughts are

Kiraz
Shoes
Bird
Salmon

Dragons

I need to ditch one of Papy, Tofu, or Koula to avoid picking Shoey's score. Both Papy and Tohu are returning after the bye round with Koula 2-4 weeks so im leaning towards him but ffs i only just brought him in. I could upgrade Tofu to someone else but thats a bit reckless at this stage. What to do

In my infinite wisdom I just realised I have too many mids for next week, with:
Brailey (hok)
Smithies King BS9/Mikaele
KPP Matto (assumptions/hopes that KPP starts again, angus origin)

BS9 still a chance of ok scoring with no watson, mikaele an ever so slight chance of a decent score with cotter out.

i was going to punt Lussick for Wighton, but i could just get rid of Mikaele..

Surprised to see 65 Cotter trades in top 1k given the red dot crisis

Was looking at Cotter to King pre TLT/injury updates but no way I was doing it this week now

As usual, tonights Storm game will be a big factor in how I do for the weekend, especially playing Fa'alogo and Eli Katoa being my main POD plus Blore and Grant. From memory, I don't think the Storm do that well at Brookie but we will see.

I'm planning on trading Cotter. Glad I kept Salmon instead and might keep Piakura instead as well

If you do Mikaele for Wighton then you have an extra R13 hooker

Mikaele/BS9 sucks because they play each other, so can't even set up an easy loop with a red dot at starting MID

I keep thinking my plans have me oversubscribed for 13 but Plath’s HLF DPP is elite

I'm 1 mid short, lend me one pls.

I now have a spare hooker if anyone needs one, can't wait to play the wrong option out of Brailey and Mahoney.

30 minutes in I couldn't believe that you lot jumping on Mahoney had ruined him. Glad we returned to normal programming by full time

yeah I'm in the market for a hooker
I only have a spare Origin gun on offer though

i was just thinking.. lussick is potentially more useful than mikaele in 14/15 if i was forced to hold whoever i don't trade this week.. both fuckin shittos tho

bs9 has sucked too but i'd definitely gamble on him over the others actually putting up a couple of decent scores in the short term (and by decent, 40 will do)

Yep BS9 over both IMO.

Lussick surely better than Mikaele on pure scoring. And covers R14 bye. Haven't got either so have no sense of prices, BEs, all that other context.

Haha I was ready to blame you for not warning me he might miss 15 tackles and score 30points

Probably really need him to be a keeper now so hope he can keep this up all season. I'm sure there will be some down weeks but average near enough to 50 and I'll be very content.

I wonder if Lussick is on borrowed time. Surely Hands gets a decent run at some stage. He only came back cause BA got him back I thought? Hands isn't any better but at least he has a run. Don't think Lussick has ever gone for a jog in his life.

I also could keep him and just do a single trade of Kris to Matto but I have Robson so both are excess. Unless Robson gets an Origin call up but he hasn't been talked about at all so banking on Api getting the gig.

I'm paralysed by indecision which generally means 'don't do anything you fool'

Playing with 16 because of AFB's meltdown & Koula's shoulder knack.......I don't actually want to trade any of the three Knights I have and I'm not in love with any of the top dollar options for an AFB trade.

Think I'll see how the games tonight go

Wighton's a target but maybe not just yet......could do AFB to Wighton and sort out the big purchase next week I suppose (The HLF DPP looks nice)

yeah lussick sucks and im assuming hands comes in on bench.

its not really about holding lussick, but just trading out the most useless players first, and lussick seems to be more capable of a shitty 30+ than mikaele..

whoever i dont trade this week will probably go next week anyway, so it might be a pointless discussion

Anyone still hanging onto Chester? Going to be playing with 16 this week (or 15 if Galvin is out) with KPP and Armstrong on the bye, and Koula/Egan/Chester injured.

I have Armstrong and Egan as definite holds, so out of the other 3 who would you be trading? Do we think Chester comes into the side next week? Still a bit of value there prices at 29, and think he can average 35-40. Both he and KPP fit nicely into my team next week, so tempted to trade Koula, but if he's only out 2 weeks that will be annoying.

Delaying the decision to the last game and penciling KPP to Aitken is probably the answer - pull the trigger if my H2H looks winnable, otherwise hold.
