NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 61 - Play The One Who Scores The Most Points, Duh

The upside is having the depth to be able to do that, as much as it can be a curse sometimes having to choose who to leave out.

This is true, went down the path of having a playable 21 rather than having any super cheap spots so it's to be expected really.

Sam Fainu in position 20 hurts !!

Now take Galvins 37 or play Hands tonight?
Galvin Hands.

Always good when your early looping option gets a strong score. Knowing my luck Gray will get 80 but still, happy with Fainu pulling out a big one. Important game for me this week as it will secure Top 4 in my league and Drinky and Fainu being unique will be very helpful for me.

In hindsight Galvin to Fog was the move to make. Thinking will leave Galvin at 18 and play Clark in 17 and loop Iro or Izack Tago at CTR. Could backfire but 37 low enough to take a punt

Overnight updates happened but surely gets TA for Bula try in Monday updates

Cheers. Good to know

Could go either way I reckon, it was a pretty standard pass a fair way from the line.

I was wondering during the game if he'd get that, but really, I'm not surprised he didn't get it, it wasn't really a TA.

Fainu getting a 60 means my Garrick to Kiraz trade is off the table.  Now I need to decide between 2 options.  First trade is May to Yeo but now it's either Strange to Kiraz, or Shoes to Starling.  Legit can't split them.  Or I get an AFB/Tapine over Yeo which means I can turn Strange into Fog.

I just watched highlights. No way that's TA for Bula try. Worse than Cleary one two weeks ago that was given then taken away in updates

If position doesn't matter, I reckon Shoes to Starling is a bigger upgrade than Strange to Kiraz, I'd go that way.

Thanks Rob.  I think I'm leaning that way at the moment.  Strange would be better EMG player than Shoes.  Although, I am now tempted by AFB/Tap instead of Yeo which means Strange could become Fog.  But I think with ownership and what not, Yeo/Starling probably a safer play and scores more than Tap/Fog.....I think.  Starling seems the preferred option playing 70 odd minutes too.  Still value trade in at 500K I reckon.

Could also bring Kiraz in next week for Galvin if I'm feeling luxurious.

He didn't really do anything to assist the try other than be the last man to touch it before Bula did everything. Wouldn't count on it being awarded at all.

I'd go the other way. Depends on positions, but assuming Strange to Kiraz puts Kiraz in his 13, while Shoes to Starling just means having a better 18-21 player. If that's the case then would do the former by a distance.

At the moment, Strange is at 17.  So Starling would definitely come into the 17 also with Strange just going to the EMG.  I'm back and forth, it's really hard to split.

Unless you lads think the Tap/AFB and Fog combo is better?

Yeah that's true. I was assuming both play. But if one strengthens the 17 vs strengthening the 21 go with the 17.

Yeah, I wouldn't trade Starling in not to play him. He definitely strengthens the 17 over Strange.

First impression was Tapine + Fog seems real nice.

But thinking about it all of those options are probably pretty bang on par, hard to split for sure. Potentially Fog matches Yeo but Tapine ends up slightly better than Starling or Kiraz.

Could even go Murray instead of Tapine?

So, basically, if Strange is leaving your 17! In both cases, it's down to who you think will score more, Kiraz or Starling.
