NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 50 - Brandon Smith went to a restaurant, and ate all the food in the restaurant, and they had to close the restaurant

He mentioned 'unlikely' earlier in week, but B2E says this morning KPP not playing

This year has been bad for injuries, but this week must be setting a record for the number of fantasy relevant players getting named on a Tuesday and then pulling out
Especially for a round not immediately following origin

B2E

Need an edge with the DiFi/KPP shenanigans, the dual, draw, and JS all seem attractive.

Either him or Fermor maybe

Already have Latrell Fifi Keaon Garrick Clark out rd 17 so reluctant to add more as I would like Campbell and probably need WFB next week

Are injuries actually up compared to previous years or is it just something we’re noticing more because it’s happening to fantasy relevant players?

Meaning you'll just keep him as a red dot once Ponga is back? I don't want an intentional red dot anywhere near my team this year, will need all 21.

I'm on 385/8. VC Haas yet to be doubled, which yafss suggests isn't too bad.

But down to 16 players unless I trade Hopgood/KPP/Twal. Not even sure who I'd trade them to

Down to 8 trades, so might just take the hit and deal later

I've come round to that way of thinking, more so this week. Only trade when have to and aim for guns or cheapies that appear to have very good JS

I think trades left in back end of season will be monumental

B2E took me awhile

Are we back trusting Baz? Was waiting for concrete evidence, 2023 he was solid but in 2024 he might be a bit subgun with his intel.

Pretty hard to accept playing with 15 this week.

Decision is whether to trade one of KPP or Tracey and if so which one.

I think the trade in would be Tohu, Watson or Yeo

Atm looking Brailey/KPP for MID/EDG, where one plays 16 and one plays 19 cos I might as well try and pretend bye management works.

holding Hops because I don’t think I can trade out keepers anymore. Poor squad management is the theme of the week for me.

Might go Barnett and JdB

Alt plan is Tohu and the Party

Uto also in the mix 

Everyone else I’m kinda meh on, Katoa is expensive, Fermor no value, not sure there’s not much else to consider. Matto maybe lolz

Barnett into Origin? Hudson Young was one of Raiders worst players last night and could be dropped and Barnett onto bench

I don't remember him being wrong this season. Saw this posted yesterday.

You're probably right, though I was thinking more a limited shelf life than an intentional red dot. Even if he is back early Ponga would still be after the extra trades. I just need money to get through the byes and Hopgood needs to go ASAP. Everything is shit

Caveat I don’t know your team but without context I reckon axe KPP. 

Doesn’t play next week either, non-zero chance he comes back behind Lucas and Friz. WFB a bit of a dumpster fire where a guy like Tracey could be useful as a 19/20/21 you end up playing each week.

Murray is first in and likely some cover for the backs like Burton.

Surely youd be better off using all your trades asap and then complaining your season was ruined by injuries

Thats the plan here
