Much obliged Chewie... I am glad you like it

Think I’d have a shot at the monthly if I’d got Api instead of playing 12 last week.

Huh I just had a look and I'm currently 19th but have players to spare over most of those above me.

First is 150 ahead with Plath, Aitken, Galvin vs Manu, Isaako, Uto, Koro and May.

I think that seals the decision to trade Fifita and have a crack at winning something.

That is the definition of a backwards trade... Surely there is someone else you could consider?

Yeah I’m 15th, similar situation.

I only noticed last night and yeah I reckon Api instead of zero and Api over Hands this week would’ve put me in the box seat.

Although there’s probably all kinds of stories in the top 50 monthly like that… coulda been a contender!

this is a question for my vsdt side but the forum is quiet.....i'm selling cotter would you buy samuela fainu leaving 234k or c. watson leaving 8k. cheers.

Oh wow, yeah that trade you'd be sitting pretty.

I've been through my reasoning a bunch in previous posts and as discussed I don't think it's backwards at all. I agree Fifita > Uto in a vaccuum but in the context of my teams needs, the bye restrictions and my goals I think it's positive expected value.

I admire you sticking to your guns - but then again - I started the season with Schuster - and I also was full of self-admiration for that at the time

Faalogo perhaps lives to fight another day

I don't mind it at all
As Rob said, Fifita has a bit of a history of tailing off towards the end of the year - whether that's just been situational I don't know, or whether Des rather than Holbrook makes a difference??

But ultimately big averages are nice for feels, Fantasy is won on total points, so if you can make it work... and if Billy gives Fifi a chance, you're probably laughing

Anyone see Lomax as a must trade out, he might miss the next month. 1 trade left though, playing 15 this week.
Currently 8/450

With 1 trade left, don't do it.

You'll almost certainly need that trade for something else next week or the week after.

Take the hit.

Does anyone want to own up to having zero trades left until R20 now?

I'll go first...

Zero trade gang is where its at Very soon everyone will be a member

Fletcher Baker out 4-6 weeks
