2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 16

Frankenstein really dissapointed to deliver in Rd 2. No attacking stats just tackles upon tackles in 64 mins. He'll peak next week so I'll look to sell him after that, and possibly use it as another round to see if he can come back from that high 20 average

What do you think should be the priority

To me your halves are the no. 1 priority. I would downgrade ET if he scores another low 40 & upgrade Elgey to someone like Moses but if you can afford a higher price range bring in a gun at half.

Probably can afford to downgrade 1 of KBrom/ET and upgrade Pythian.

I'm keeping Hayne.

Thanks Warrior

Will see how ET does today, if he does 45+ then I will downgrade KBrom. Who would you downgrade him to and who will you upgrade Phythian to?

Every chance someone had a 17 looking something like this

Friend (Brailey)
Scott, Daifiti (Musgrove, Gubb)
Kromwich, Gillett, J-Jackson
Pearce, Elgey (Hingano)
Leilua, Mitchell
RTS, Hayne, Kahu

That 17, if you captained (realistically) Friend = 426

426 points total.

Wonder how many thought captaining Hayne against the Knights would be a good idea. :/

Someone did in a H2H comp im in. Lol.

I'm counting on Norman and Guth to save the day for me again like last week!

Not sure, wait until team lists. If one or any of Hess, Chriton or Stimson are starting they would be hard to pass up. Hopefully Stimson gets the start and u can upgrade 1 of Elgey or Pythian to someone decent.

Kicking myself for breaking rule #1, you know its not just the consistency that Cam brings scoring wise its the confidence i have in him not getting injured and ruining my round. I still wince a bit with the C next to guys like Fifita or JDB.

How many Fullbacks have we lost to injury this season? And we're only in round 2.
Those starting with Teddy made a good decision

Juggled the C all last year, decided to stick with CS9 this year.

Serious back surgery required!

Need to find a reliable gun in both CTR WFB and HLF

Hopoate, Coote, Phythian, Inglis, Holmes, Beale, Slater, Hayne, Tuivasa-Scheck and we still have Dugan and Tedesco to play in Round 2.

My backs are screwed already. Hayne at a crap price it's too hard for me to upgrade unless I downgrade Surgess

In my H2H my opponent has seemingly done a late trade out of Talakai and is left with a team of only 16 starters.

Is that legit?

Hoping for a win but I am thinking that there is some kind of trick play being used and I am less likely to win than it seems.

Difference is

Waqa Blake, ET, Guth and 'No Player Selected' (was Talakai) +76

vs

Moses, Pritchard, Norman, Moeroa, Matagi

We both also have Suli and JDB (C). His lowest NPR is 26 but has Idris and MCK to come.

I've done a quick estimate of what I'll finish on
Current Total=553, JDB (c) 150, ET 50, Gutherson 50 - will end up on 803 points. Boom.

That is what we JDB owners are expecting him to score, before you give him the captaincy x2 right?

OK 344 + JBC(C) 150 + Suli (30) + Norman (60) + Moses (45) + Moeroa (45) + Matagi (40) + Prtichard (40) = 754

But these predictions my friends are extremely optimistic

More likely (650 - 700)

Your opponent has brought in a player from 1 of the 4 teams playing today. That player will not show up untill after the game starts. So the "no player selected" will be replaced by the player he has traded in. The system works like this so you can't see your opponents trades until the game has started.
