2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 39

I should really look for my self but what are the BEs/price projections you guys are running on Elliot and CHN - Im running low on time! Im looking at that same trade, just haven't run the numbers yet.

Price projections for both if CHN is on the bench (~30 points per game) and Elliot starts (~40 points per game)?

I know what the answer is going to be but what about Aubusson to Elliot? Weakens my centres but gives me a lot of cash to play with

Podene all day!

Should I trade Idris and Abbey for Fui and Semi???

Will have 24 trades and 25 green dots

a lot more trades than most, reckon you can afford to roll the dice on Idris-Semi if you have dpp for swaps! Well worth the risk

Wish I could just go Idris > Semi in one trade but alas a downgrade would be needed somewhere in the team. Elgey > Frawley interests me but unsure. Good bye trading though.

I actually dont mind this trade if it allows you to use the cash to upgrade elsewhere. Be different if CHN had good byes. CHN seems to be a bit like ponga where if everyone is fit you dont know if he going to be in the team, what his minutes gonna be like etc. Elliot on the other had looks like he has won a starting spot.

Only thing with Elliot though is looks like he has poor base stats relying on attacking stats and watch to see if Des runs with 4 forwards on the bench.

Personally i'll prob give CHN 1 or 2 more weeks and trade to SST. SST and Elliot have same byes and I know what im getting with SST

Caution on Fui. Every chance Talakai or Rennings come straight back in for him.

Maybe good for a cash out but could also be playing off the bench for the rest of the year scoring sub-20s.

Does bringing in Semi and Frawley make sense this week? Will hold of on the big trades till next week.

It's Madge and Souths, so I'm waiting to see in regards to Fui. Not looking good for Crichton's minutes if Fui and Murray are on the bench.

Seriously thinking Winterstein to Elliot if he starts? Good idea?

Semi is a gamble but I'm looking closely at him. Frawley is tough, but he'll play round 12 and could get some half decent scores and make some coin so with the amount of trades you have, I don't see a problem.

From that quote on the last page from Madge, sounds like Talakai will stay in with Burns the one to drop out.

Unless Fui comes in at centre........

Man, looking at Elliots past minutes and scores, he's a real gamble. It's all about if Des looks to him as the future of the club and invests more in him and gives him more time and responsibility, but who knows. Definite gamble at his current price.

My choice: Elgey>Frawley, Idris>Semi.
Wise heads: Fifi>Graham, Vaughan>Brown.

Have a vote lads.

Option 2. You need to beef up your byes now, not next week. You can bring in two more next week. It's all about running out of time or not. You've got heaps of trades. Jmo.

How do these trades sound this week?

Ponga to Munster (in 17)
Frankenstein to Elliot (not in my 17) leaving 29K

Reason for trades. Ponga out means I'm only left with two playing fullbacks. Looks as though even without JT, Coote will be fullback if fit and Ponga only gets a run if Coote out.
Frankenstein has peaked and is deadwood anyway after score of 13. If Elliot starts great, if not I will ride his 65 and his price up past $300K in the next three weeks and pick up someone like JBrom.

leaves team for the week

Smith (c), McInnes
Fifita, McGuire, Kaufusi
NBrown, JWallace, Whitehead, Chricton
SJ, Johnson
DWalker, TTurbo
Munster, RTS, Slater

Final reserve from Niko, Frawley, CHN and Elliot or maybe Fuimaono. Probably choose Niko.

NPRS of Leota, Idris, DEdwards and TRD. Having four of these at this stage heading into origin is not ideal. Idris gone next week and hopefully CHN makes enough money this week to get a keeper in next week.

Probably go Idris and CHN to JGraham and cheapie.

Solid trades Warriors. I'm looking at doing the Frankenstein to Elliot trade too, but only if he starts. Don't think I could do it if he stays on the bench.

How many of you map out your trades from this point on to end of byes (planning for the best) ?

In 5+ years of fantasy I've never done any real bye planning, other than to make trades "with byes in mind" but only really look ahead a week or two at a time.

Personally I'd wait a week on Fuimauno. He has been playing centre at Norths. He won't go up by much even if he kills it and they also have another rookie in Cam Murray sorting out his spot in the team. Seems risky bringing him in this week.

@Liverpool_Bulldog can you post your team up. Want to have a look. Not sure you should be building such a war-chest. Every round you leave $400K in your bank you are probably giving up 25 points. Two rounds of that and there goes having an extra gun in a bye round on everyone else.

I have niko frawley and chn and rank them in that order. I'll probably have to play two though
