NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 46 - A dour affair

With Matterson and Teddy providing a bunch of players with 0 points after being traded in, it shows the importance of ordering trades for maximum flexibility, and the rusk of captaining a player you've just brought in.

Will we learn these lessons? or just be annoyed in R16 when we all trade in a late scratching again

I am on 593 with mikaeles 25 in 25 mins or so to come.

Got pretty lucky swinging to Hands instead of Teddy.

By going Crichton to Wighton today, allows me to go Talagi to Fifita rd 14. Only playing 11 in rd 13

I knew the risk going in, still annoyed.
The chances of it happening were small

With Teddy out... Do I trade him to Manu or is that just luxury trading the other option is Drinkwater who will play next week as well.

Edit: Adding to this I have Armstrong in the bench so I will get points. Probably more wise to just keep the trade and weigh it up next week.

They fixed the incorrect error for getting outjumped, added the EFIG and fortunately he retained the TS for getting KOd, which is surprising.

I've never seen someone deserve a TS more

Traded in and captained Aitken so not learning any lessons here

The app makes it tricky.

I got it right this week but a few weeks back managed to accidentally lock all 3 trades on Thursday night, even after thinking about trade order

I know it was a whole thing last night, but just quietly I do actually agree. Getting out jumped is a real life error no doubt, but rarely if ever scored as a fantasy error that I've noticed. In the same way that being so badly out of position that you miss a tackle without even touching someone is a real life error, but not technically a fantasy error because you didn't touch them. Fuller made such a big error that he didn't even touch the ball, therefore I don't think that's a fantasy error.

Depends what your round 16/19 numbers are maybe. Cowboys byes are pretty terrible from here - still 3 to go and don't play either 16 or 19.

Manu has been good this year and hopefully goes ballistic today but. If Teddy plays SOO2 he's going to miss 3-4 over the next 6 weeks

I think the definition of an error in stats/fantasy is giving up possession, so getting out jumped isn't an error as you never had possession in the first place.

Don't trade in a guy who isn't playing. Next thing Wighton gets injured at training and you're trading him out before he's even played for your team. Don't put yourself through it.

That was my understanding too.

Fair enough, I'll cop being wrong as it's a bonus 2 points to me.  I thought he made contact with the ball and fumbling it also leading to Savage being able to take possession.  I still think it should be an error but won't die on a hill over it.

You get 4 trades next week, unless you plan to use them all, you can make that same trade next week, with certainty that Wighton will play, or change your mind to another option that may appear.

It can be tough, especially when the guy you want to reverse plays late in the week.

App sometimes rearranges your trades for you when you make double trades

In the case of the community team, even if Tedesco wasn't captain we couldn't have arranged trades to be able to reverse because we used the cash he generated om getting Preston in who was locked out days ago.

A hypothetical question based on the "getting outjumped is an error" discussion

If someone makes a clean line break on the last tackle, and has unmarked support with them as they approach the fullback, but they don't pass and get tackled - would you mark that as an error for fantasy scoring?

Its certainly an error from the coaches point of view, but I don't think should be considered as such from a stats perspective.

in vsdt have tedesco (c) & plath (vc) with 66 points:
TU: leave as is & get plath's score or
TD: put the (cap) on manu

i'm leaning towards TD. cheers.
