2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 16

Currently on 553 with JDB (c), ET & Gutherson to play. I should score over 700 if all 3 do well.

My 4 major problems are Field, Talakai, Hayne & Phythian.
I'm glad I sold Gallen for JDB. If Gallen hadn't of scored that try he would of scored 30 odd.
I will be replacing Hayne this week. Would love Tedesco but he's out of reach. A. Johnston looked promising but he might be a trap. J. Trbojevic might be the go with the added dpp advantage.

I'm on 440 with McInnes, Matagi, ET, Norman, French, and Suli to play. Only by some Sunday miracle will I hit 700.

Hayne will probably sit on my bench, as he did this round(lucked out with that move). I started the season picking Sezar over Lamb(dumb play, I know), thinking he would score 28-36 points a game for me. I really need to get rid of him before he leaks any more cash, but that's gonna be a bit difficult with only $6k itb and cows still making money.

508 with captain JDB mcinnes cartwright and E.t to go would be will be happy with 750

Gallen's a concern for me but I'd rather go with a 3 strikes and out policy than go trading willy nilly. Seems like I'll be burning through a lot of trades early though as per usual, trying to save a sinking boat with a spoon.

for those wondering turbo will shoot back up to around 404k this week.

he had an absolute stellar 5-10 minutes where he was touched by the fantasy gods themselves. looked like a man playing against boys.

don't have but i am considering going mitchell to him. may need to downgrade talakai, but i really want at least one more price rise out of him before moving on...

*hess up to around 320k. almost bromwich's price...

What will Sironen be at please?

Anyone considering Hayne to A. Johnston.

siro about 272k

Actually thinking about going Elgey to Field because the extra 10k from 138 to 128 allows me to go Talakai straight to Hess. However is week 2 too early to be killing off a position? (Thinking about last year, had de facto killed off two positions by then, with Benry and Feeney in team all year)

No problem seeing Field there because he will at some point be the starting half over McCrone I have no doubts about that

Elgey, Winterstein and Hayne have become everyone's problem. I also have KBrom and Phythian that needs to be sorted. Only $4k itb so only downgrading Fifita looks like an option.

Any thoughts

I wouldn't downgrade Fifita. Who else you got

At this point i am hoping no trades next round.
Kbrom getting another week, not soing much but i want to hold him for upgrading to a bottomed out gun
Elgey is an npr and we all knew he was only gonna be a 20-30 scorer
Hayne can sit on bench and will run cotric, i reckon he will go big next week as the raiders are going to come out to prove a point.

Trying to hold strong for another 2 rounds not to spend 400k in the bank. Keep telling myself that if i can wait i can trade sironen/kbrom to whitehead/bodene or manners for under 300k

Only potential trade is talaki, but i am hoping he will get another run at some point.

Starting to think Im not cursed, instead I'm just shit at this Fantasy game. FML.

My current strategy atm is to keep around 200k the bank this will allow me to upgrade my mid tier players to whitehead Gillette and Bromwich when they bottom out thoughts ? This means I might have to go mannering to hess then in a few weeks turn Hess sirroren and kaufusi to those players

Cheers for talking me out of trading out tturbo boys.
I still wasn't too happy watching his efforts yesterday but those 10mins of brilliance has earnt him a few more weeks on my team

Good plan but it depends who you are downgrading from and who your downgrade target is. I would love a viable rookie cow next week for KBrom so I could do the same but unless Stimson grabs a starting spot I don't think there are any viable options

wait on boys team list, hopefully Hoare or Spina make the bench and you can use dpp to get KBrom out for one

744 with ET to play. 349th currently but expect to end up 6000th or so. I would like it if ET scored enough to get me to 800, probably a good score this week considering.

Fifita, Gallen and James all scored less than 50 which is more of a concern going forward.

Doing exactly the same, might cost 60-100 points but getting those guns in early will offset this easily. Also will probably have 1 more gun than others, then can use cows to get even more
