2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread part 20

Certainly was a round of carnage.

Only 8572 points scored this week. Just did a quick check and I believe that is the lowest points total for a non-origin round under the current scoring system (which was introduced in 2014)

McCinnes (c), Brailey
Fifita Wallace Musgrove Papalli
JDB Gallen Kaufusi Sironen Yates Chee-kam
Cleary Lamb Jacks Elgey
SMat Mitchell Kelly Idris
Trbojevic RTS Cotric Abbey Suli

$113k in the bank

Idris to Ponga, Papalli to Capewell?

Wish I 'd brought him in 2 weeks ago.

At the time I figured Holmes coming back in would push him out of the team. But if they play Bird at fullback and Holmes on the wing then he might have good job security (might even overtake Leutele in the pecking order)

Well done mate & funny at the same time.

Anyone looking at Addin Fonua Blake this week?

Siro to Fonua Blake or Capewell

Idris to Ponga

BEs for this week

Due to everybody sucking the MN for last round was 9,992
This means that anyone who did manage to score well would have got a larger than expected price rise.

I am working under the assumption things will settle down this week so have gone back to 9400 for my BEs.

With the Siro to Whitehead trade is the money more important than the points? Like if they both score close to their BE's then am I really going to gain enough cash to make the wait worth it? Just wondering whether to do it this week or next.

It's this or Suli>Slater

Already done Koro>Jacks

I was going to resist trading, but this looks like a winner to me...

Just throwing some stats around on Monday morning ...

Why are people hopping off suli and trading to slater?

Also is musgroves reduced minutes due to gurgess likely to continue?

Gurgess won't be there for 2 weeks if all goes well.

My thoughts

Tyronne Roberts-Davis missing from my sheet (like Fanhub, I forgot to add him in) I reckon his BE is 9 this week.


Sironen to Whitehead should be this week or next.
Probably a slight cash advantage waiting a week, but points will be better making it now.

I am not sold on Patrick Kaufusi yet. That was a big effort from him compared to past few years.

I reckon they might narrow the gap by $10-20k

If money is tight (which it is for many people) then maybe wait a week. But its close enough that taking the money in the bank may be worth it.

I am just going to be stuck in eternal regret for bringing in Abbey/Hoare instead of Ponga/Capewell

Brailey to Mcinnes might have to wait. Brailey still has a negative BE. Should make some more sweet sweet cash this round.

Whitehead getting 50 and siro 30, reduces the gap by about 12k. By my calculations using the start of year magic number, 20 points is worth about 8k....i am happy to be 4k worse off to dump siro

Musgrove close to peaking if he keeps that up.

Musgrove played the same minutes as he did the first 2 rounds just made silly errors and gave away penalties when he came on, he was very impressive in the second half

Yep and he is earning cash faster than mcinnes now. A couple more 40+ will be very nice indeed for bridging the gap

It's never to late to right your wrongs. Thinking of jumping from Idris to Ponga and Siro to Capewell.

Does everyone think Whitehead is a keeper?

if he maintains a 40 average then he starts slowing down around week 9 with $344k according to the price predictor spreadsheet
