If Python doesn't play nothing changes for him.

Might try to hold JBrom - still think he'll score well once he's back from injury. 

Worried about Moeroa - really didn't look likely to score big even playing 80.

ALL except the Renegades one, so 14/15

Honestly i think the munster training all pre-season at 5/8 was a bit of BS from the storm.

It's typical Bellamy. I'm tipping Slater is done and Jacks has been 5/8 since November.

The only options I have for Bromwich are Matagi/Wallace/AFB. I know Wallace will make cash but I have no interest in him as I don't think it will be enough to warrant a trade in/trade out. I would really love to have picked up Barnett (But I was about $3k short of grabbing Barnett + Rookie) So I am not too interested in swapping him out now.

Are you sure, I don't recognise 3 leagues.

The A League - Simply The Best - The Fantasy Force A...

So it would be 12/15 and 9/10. Also where is the Select League?

We'd be happy to have you in there with that rank as well , but unfortunately we close them off at First lockout. We had one that people could join through the year last year, but not this year unfortunately. Sorry mate.

My Perrett>Leota free trade before KO was correct imo. Now Perrett going to get big minutes *sigh*

Sadly our leagues are all closed up for the year. However if you are floating around next year, would more than love to have you.

Is your next video up?

Sounds good. Really active and tight knit community here!

I'm uploading every Wednesday. I originally thought I could do one on Monday and Wednesday but the reality is TLT could change my predictions and I'd literally be bouncing off hypotheticals which could waste people's times.

I plan to give NFF a shoutout when I do an episode around Social Media and NRL Fantasy (Y)

The 3 price projections are
16 average (there 2016 average, or if they didn't play in 2016, their priced average) Once we get to round 4 this will be replaced with their 2017 average

3 game average (last score plus 2 scores at their priced average) Once people have played 3 games this will be a true 3 game average

Amazing Milchy! Can you explain player values this year like I'm 5? I use to think it was based around their 5 game average. So If a player worth 138k consistently got 30 every game they will hit their potential value after the completion of Round 5 [whatever that may be -300k?]. So we would see an increase of [300-138k]/5 every game.

Garbo wrote:Seriously considering trying to bring in Barnett for ETaylor but fall 5k short of getting there through DSaifiti to Wallace. Is it worth bringing in a Charlie Gubb (Kaufusi is my other playing FRF, Gubb would be a reserve) to make the Taylor to Barnett trade or am I being too much of a fanboy and wasting trades?

ET Should come good round 4-5 once they sort out their Hooker situation at the Tigers. He's definitely a gun and someone I'm potentially looking to nab soon! Might be a rough ride to begin with though.

Pookus McFly wrote:Gah, if AFB and Taupau both get suspended...
Should I actually hold on to Lawrence, despite him now having a be of 45?
I mean, with suddenly clear daylight between him and other props in this team he should be good for 45 in those two rounds. But he just did so poorly last game I feel he deserves the axe. I could turn him into Lloyd Perret to use as a cashie (who should also pick up mins if both AFB and Taupau are suspended) and use that money to turn Krommich into Barnett, which seems a pretty solid move. I was inclined to give Krommich another chance on a dry track, but Barnett impressed me too much to leave out and it is now or never for buying him. Evolution of the next supergun, don't miss it folks!

With Taupau gone it probably means that if you don't have Siro or Frankenstein now is definitely the time to nab them as cashies before the boat leaves. I don't think LP's minutes increase and I'd avoid him if he was named on the bench again. BoL Pookus!

Buy low sell high, keep K Bromwich and sell him to his brother soon, or Surgess, PODENE, Mannering, Whitehead, Merrin etc when they bottom out and look like hitting form again. Would you be more happy with picking up JBrom/Whitehead for sub $400,000 or Barnett for $470,000. I don't have any second row guns yet but happy there prices are coming down except JDB/Barnett.

In isolation this makes perfect sense but you only need so much money to get to your perfect team. On the other hand your score needs to keep improving to keep in touch with the leaders.
With the cows looking to be so good this year it could well prove worthwhile to pay overs for players like Barnett as your going to end up with more money than you need anyway. Paying the overs to get them in early gives you a points jump on those who are saving dollars that they may not actually need come seasons end.

Permanent party.

Simply the best and the A league are definitely from here too I'm in both.

It's tricky to work out the balance between chasing cash and points

I posted a general invite on this forum... sorry you missed out.

Even so L51 is the place to be!

Well shit SI was right. Usually is about those things so 14/15 top leagues are Fanatics that is great.

Pummelling Renegades in the official league is even more satisfying than seeing the h2h leagues doing so well.

The A League

Do you think Barnetts output will stay the same even after the shifts of Phythian getting injured.

I can go DSaifiti to Barnett in 1 trade with 1K to spare.
