2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 34

12 playing after trades this week (if Lamb plays and Feeney doesn't). Hoping for 580-600 points.

17 for Round 13, 14/15 for Round 15 and currently about 10 for Round 18. How does this compare?

Graham, Tolman, Grant
Whitehead, Fensom
Lamb?
Holland
Semi, Gutherson

16 trades left. This round can suck an egg.

Well I just burned another 2 trades to get myself 9 players this week, assuming no Feeney but one lucky Lamb.

Blaw out - Ma'u in
Ferg out (finally!) - Aitken in

Who to captain, Graham is safe, but Leilua might go big.

Tossing up between Graham and Whitehead. Whitehead has potential to go large but with a safer base than BJ.

Milford or Hunt are obvious loophole VCs if you have them, which I don't.

So a few weeks ago I went JDB to Tolman and Taylor to Lamb.

With that money I've managed to bring in 4 keepers 

Last week was Aubbs > Mannering and Mataora > BThompson
This week Hastings > BHunt and Fergs > Aitken

Not to bad I reckon

Would love to see Jack Littlejohn and Jaelen Feeney just dusting off the boots and marching out for the big first bye round!

Followed by some late mail and start for Ted

So when is JDB due again? Round 15? I could turn him into ET and Tedesdo (when he bottoms out) for JDB and Gordon. Two keepers for 1. Thoughts?

Don't know about moving JDB out who is an obvious burn of trade. I have similar but less concerning trade out decision for ET who I am definitely buying.

Who would you trade out first for ET fundraising?
Barba
SJ
Mitchell

Would not be buying back as you're suggesting to do

Start of season only SJ was nailed on keeper for me but now I'm not sure

Any news on Bruce Cartwrights thumb injury?
With origin,injury and his unpredictability itmight be time to part ways to someone more bye friendly and not suffering mild Carterism.

Fuck this game. I'll have 7 players, 8 if Fensom is fit, 9 if Bhana is named, 10 if for some miracle Lamb is named.

I have 21 trades up my sleeve so will use all 3. I'm thinking;

Blaw --> Cheapie who is playing
Mansour --> ET via Claw
Lolohea - --> Mau via Henry

Can just do it if I get a 130K guy for Blaw.

I want to fuck CLaw off, but kind of dumb for this round.

I get the Carter similarities but I like him at his value making price. He's explosive and as one of 4 benchies I'm happy to keeps

Assuming you are thinking a cash grab to ET I couldn't argue. Both for me.

Finished up with this backrow which will do hopefully til season end

Parker
Fensom
Surgess
Cartwright
ET
Bateman

Have probably gone the wrong way of Fensom and Bateman rather than whitehead, but looks Ok

I've potentially got 13 players this week (pre-trades)

That includes Feeney, Lamb, Mataora, Tedesco, Javid Bowen.

So more likely I'll have a single figure team list.

Who is everybody captaining this week.

99% of teams would be idiots not to set up for a potential loophole.

I'm going to vc Hunt or ET, with Whitehead as fallback captain I think (unless Teddy gets named, then the vc is going straight on him)

What's the miracle about Lamb?

Don't tell me that myth is gone already??

Might go VC on on Milf and C on BJ. Don't have many options. One is bound to bounce back.

14 trades left but am hoping my team can take me through till end of origin so hopefully will still have the majority of that 14 remaining in a months time.

VC Hunt for me

C J Graham

I thought the captains lockout had removed the loophole. Admittedly haven't tried to click or change captaincies all season remarkably

VC on Hunt and C on Graham for me this week.

I'll bet the under

If you have more than 10 before the end of origin game 3 you win a freebet from me!
