2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 41

Currently ranked 1,854th after a season high of 49th in Round 6.

My trades for this round:
Mitchell -> Cleary
Parcell -> Smith

Only have 16 for this round and that's before any late pullouts!
Smith (Rein)
Fifita, Graham (JBrom)
Mannering, JTrbo, Surgess, ET
Milf, Cleary
Aitken, Croker
Barba, Opacic, Munster

Semi, SST are main bye outs
Rest are NPS's (Feeney, Benry, Scott, Crook, Hughes, Talakai, Gray)

$178k in bank and 11 trades remaining.

Smith (Parcell)
Fifita, JBrom
Mannering, JTurbo, Surgess, (Frizz)
Hunt, SJ, (Milf, Norman)
Bird, Aitken
Munster, Barba, Teddy (Semi)

$195k in the bank.
Thinking of cashing out Semi which would give me another $275k
$470k to do the rest of my upgrades.

Thinking Barba to BJ next week. Let's say that's 160k at the most after price rises and that would leave me with 6 trades.

Leaves me with $310k for the final upgrades. What would you upgrade?

[quote]Fuck me that's impressive mate, potentially milf/bird to Dugan via dpp and getting James/Graham in but almost there mate well played

@Welshy

Who would you trade out to bring in James/Graham

I thought about Dugan, let me see what he comes up after Origin.

JBrom or potentially Friz he is just a level above fantasy wise unfortunately

Actually I can go
Semi - NPR
Barba - BJ
Green - Graham

Would have be 18 players which I don't mind.

Would make the choice of my reserves pretty hard though.

I just want to thank all of you for helping me out, this is only my second year and I was absolutely disastrous in the first year. Have improved tenfold this year and I put it down to purely listening and soaking up information from this forum. Truly grateful for everything you have done.

Team for next few rounds after Parcell to Wallace trade.

Smith Wallace
Graham Fifita JTrbo (JWH)
Mannering Surgess Whitehead ET Lowe (Henry)
SJ Norman (Cleary Feeney)
BJ, Aitken (Lolohea Scott)
Munster Tedesco Mitchell (Guth Hughes)

300k in bank to upgrade 2 of Whitehead/Taylor/Lowe to Fallen and James after round 18, and to upgrade Wallace to Luke/Friend/Farah. Then a Guth/Mitchell in/out to get a final gun WFB (Rapana? Dugan? BMorris?) and we're all set with only 2 trades left but depth in every position. 17 players this week, 13 in Rnd 18, 17 in Rnd 19.

Team for the foreseeable future, 10 trades left and enough cash for nothing (6k)

Smith, Parcell
Graham, Brom, Tolman, JWH
Surgess, Mannering, Podene, Cartwright, Whitehead, Taylor
Milf, Cleary, Feeney, Littlejohn
Aitken, Lolohea, Holland, Gutherson
Munster, Semi, Barba, Mitchell, Scott

My forwards give me some comfort, anything worthwhile anyone can see for trades this week??

I'm genuinely shocked his ownership is around 2%, did he do something bad to people in the past??

I think he's one of those "no name" players. He doesn't attract the media attention and doesn't come up with "big plays", just does his job for the Warriors who I think are out of sight out of mind.

I rate him quite highly as a player but I just think that's what a lot of people think.

smith, parcell
gallen, fifita, graham, bromwich
mannering, burgess, trbjovic, lowe, bateman, pangai

Very low risk trading that, i like.

BTW where is Cuban these days, i always meant to ask him about stock trading or whatever it is he does, ive always liked numbers and that kind of thing.

Apologies for hijacking your post

ARey or JRey? I guess either can be considered keepers with your trades so it doesn't matter.
Personally I probably wouldn't class Inglis as a keeper and would want him out, but as you will be down to 4 trades after the two you've mentioned that's probably something you'll just have to live with. I think those are two good trades though and it looks like a solid team.

Bodene used to be an uninspiring pick at past clubs. He is a great pick these days imo, and wasn't a straightforward choice when I put Mannering in ahead of him.

Only thing to note is that he is an edge player, playin almost at centre at times. Basically means of you prefer a Whitehead over a Fensom type then he is great.

Adam reynolds. Yea inglis is a problem but not sure who to have instead...

Thought I'd jump on the train and post my side and plans

994th with 10 trades left, 61k in bank

Smith, Parcell
Surgess, Graham, JBrom, Sipley
RJames, Whitehead, Kapow, Carty, ET, Pauli x2
DCE, Milford, Cleary, Hughes
Lawrence, Aitken, Gutherson, Kennar
Teddy, Munster, Barba, Semi, Feeney

6 projected trades, leaving 4 to cover the inevitable injury crisis. Guns i'm looking at are JFriend, Fifita, Johnson and BJ/Dugan. Still feel I'm a bit short of cover for injuries, so trying to think whether to aim for a top 17-18 or top 20 with a couple of mid rangers

Good trades if you're H2H, but lose two Round 18 players. Would make the trade between Rnd 18 and 19, which Bateman and Lowe miss.

Looking at side you only have 5 players for round 18 even including Lowe and Bateman (and Tedesco who might play Origin 3). Make the James trade now and your entire side for that week could be James Graham and Jahrome hughes.

Only the one wfb playing this weekend. So running with 16 and no option to loophole. Wanted to bring ted in, but there is too much uncertainty with ratratra. Better off losing the points, saving a trade and waiting till he puts his grown up pants on and makes a decision
