You've lost me there

JDB 92x2=184, Smith 47x2=94

184-94=90 point difference between the two.

If you still played both guys you need to add their score in too

92*2 + 47 = 231

47*2 + 92 = 186

Not getting Ponga has killed me. Not through his points because I probably would have benched him a lot, but that cash he's making.

yes there's a 90 point difference, but other one's regular score still counts, looking at it in a bubble, in a hypothetical game where you only gets 2 players and you have to captain one to score you double points, captain JDB and Smith gets you 231 points, whereas Captain Smith & JDB gets you 186 points, thus you only truly 'lose' 45 points choosing to captain Smith over JDB.

@BroncHose

Well played.. That Pearce try saved you from the wrath of the Irrelevants!!!

5 of us on 12 points in L7 lol

I was lucky enough to bring in Ponga from the start but my regret has been Crichton. I could still bring him in next week but I really need to upgrade my 2nd half and not sure about Niko as he may only be there for a couple more weeks and didn't score that well this round.
So welcome to my team Adam Reynolds...
Hopefully I can make up the ground I lost in the next round.

1 vote for SJ

I'm looking at McGuire > Stone and Elgey > CWalker.

On the face it seems a bit of trade rage, but really need to get rid of Elgey and can't find anyone else to downgrade for the cash it will require

Walker if byes matter
SJ if the don't


If you're tabling Pearce and DCE I would think Cleary also worth a shout. Surely Panthers improve

Is Stone playing 80 likely to continue?

looks like the scores posted for the Storm/Warriors game were final, up to 760 for the week, 75th for the round, and 744th overall.

850 for the round which is not bad considering I pretty much copped an AE having to play Frawley in place of A Reynolds. Dropped a few places to 226 in overall though. I still don't know how I've done it. Y'know my fantasy team is a little like the mule with the spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it.

Assuming Sione doesn't go back to half-back in final teams, then the 60 minutes he played there last week will come off someone.

Also, the Newcastle pack changes its makeup every single week. You can not guarantee anybody a particular role just because they've done it once

That said, with Buhrer and Barnett injured, Stone looks set for a bit of first grade

Cheers milch, just trying to sort trades out this week. Need to find a way to upgrade or downgrade Elgey

SJ is going to continue to reap the rewards of Foran I think and may post some big scores as the season goes on.

I didn't catch all the game last night but from the bits I did watch; against a weaker defensive team, or even against any team other than Melbourne, SJ would have cleaned up.

The conundrum for me is DCE as I already have him and think he'll be useful over the bye period.....but he has now posted two 30 point scores in a row and I'm pretty light on in the halves.

As so-so as Niko was, I'm sure glad I chopped Jacks this weeks and dodged his 2 points.
