2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 29

Chris Kennedy, LS and any other bloke who wants to have their own show/podcast have absolutely no idea.

How do they manage to update the third game before the first two.

Between wanting to bring in Crichton, Hampton and Frawley next week as well as upgrade Yates to JGraham and probably bring back Hayne, I have no idea what to do.

376/9 (no C) and gone down about 8k places so far to 10k. Not good.

I'm with you on that. I have about 6 planned trades for next week already.

@Onthebeatpete well done mate, I talked myself out of making trades this week. Woulda been nice to get ahead of the curve. Gotta be rewarded for taking risks. Hoping it's not too late to jump on Hampton next week and ride the rise.

The thurs ton injury may be good news for ponga with cootes potentially into the halves.

If no one else is going to do it (sorry, don't mean to step on anyone's toes), here are the updates.

I plan to bring in every tackle breaker fanhub favourite player.
Anyone who relies on tackles or big minutes can go, they are only going to lose points to the above.

At 3 points a Tackle break, why being in anyone else.

Stack my backs, only want forwards who are high impact, can't have them play too long as they will be out there too long to miss tackles.

Then I need to make sure my team is well balanced so make sure I have all remaining CTRs and WFB as reserves. Captain the player who is most likely to break the most tackles = playing a crap team

Then logout of SuperCoach.... Oh wait, it says Fantasy on the app... What is this game..

Not even going bad this week either, but if there is one thing I do know is a pattern/trend.

After 6 weeks of watching this game this year, the scoring has completely changed.
Even on a small sample of scores above, what do the top 2-3 players have in common......

Think it is more than a coincidence that every gun forward from last year has started so 'bad' and dropped massively in price. And the few that flourished are 'impact players'

So starting next week will swim with the stream rather than against it

The mediocrity continues haha.

42 point upgrade. Nice.

I was happy enough with 12 extra points

Welcome to 2017, glad you could join us.

Finally got done with all the games, pages here and scores.

I'm on 521 with Smith (c), Brailey, F Kaufusi, Johnson, Jacks, Slater + RTS to come.

Think that's going good??? 850 maybe?

Cant believe ET only got 31. Awful.

Is whitehead going to be the main trade in?

Frawley/Hampton/Whitehead/Rapana/BJ/Crichton

Whoever the flavour of the week is.

I can imagine people doing Hess - Whitehead

I'm probably bringing in BJ + James Graham myself for Kelly + Yates

What's Hamptons security like? Gun hookers are peaking in price right now (mcinnes/macca)

Rapana is going to be way too expensive
Can't trust Crichton with Madge burning me with Talakai and Musgrove
I'm thinking two of these
Kbrom > Whitehead
Elgey/ Lamb > Frawley
Musgrove > Leliua
Kelly > Idris

I'm not bringing anyone in until I have enough to upgrade Brailey. Struggling for funds as it is

CharlieMurphy confirmed Granville is out for 4 weeks. Depending on how long Coote and Thurston miss then Hampton could move into the HLFs and will surely be there through origin. Though cant recall how many he woukd play off the top of my head. He also will be on the bench in a full strength squad so will be able to ride out his scores for a couple extra rounds to make cash.

With all that said, I dont think he is a must buy. I mean if you have Brailey then he might be, but watch how Brailey goes this week.

Might just hold Brailey for as long as possible and wait for the gun hookers to lose value and trade then or maybe seggy would be a good option
