Hi guys.

Magic Number is total price of all players in a round divided by total fantasy score of the round. It does vary a bit more during bye rounds as big name players get replaced by cheap rookies.

I'm just on my tablet here on holidays and don't have access to my spreadsheets so can't check R&T's stuff.
Hopefully it's close enough to be useful.

At this point it's more about points than cash though, so unless funds are super tight for an upgrade BEs aren't as important as earlier in the season.

Hey mate, just to clarify, to if I take the sum of the total points in last round (17) as the denominator, is the numerator the total combined price of those players using current (prior to end 18) prices? or their previous (prior to round 17) prices?

Should be the same either way.

Total cash value doesn't change week to week. Other than maybe a small difference due to rounding

Hey MB. I didn't realise you were still in the Eliminator, since you haven't put any of your results on the list. How did you end up?

farah
surgess bromwich
taupua brown fui
walker cleary
aubs crichton edwards
scott gordon mansour

might go rts to a cheapiue who plays so i can do farah to smith and bromwich - fifita that will leave me with 1 trade for the run home

They were projecting Rapana and Crichton to get 90+, and a couple of guns were being given sub 40 projections.

I don't put too much stock by them. Just looking at averages is better

Got 15 at the moment but that includes blokes like JBrom, Stimson and Lamb.

Thinking I'll go Graham to Merrin (if he isn't called up) or was even thinking Buhrer.
And also RTS to TTurbo (again if not called up).

Hooker still a bit of a conundrum for me.

Running with dual Mac's and despite playing the same number of games for the run home, I am tempted to go McInnes to Friend, mainly because he is ripe for the picking this week.....plus McInnes is stinking it up at the moment.

Only thing putting me off is the thought of having to also trade in Cam Smith but then I question if he may taper off after Origin given how tough the series has been and how far ahead the Storm are on the ladder......hmmmm.

I took have 14
Friend
Brown,
Taupau, Merrin, elliot, surgess
cleary
walker, crichton, edwards, fui
scott, walker, guth.

Have McInnes, wallace, gallen, lolo, johnson, RTS, munster, hayne on the pine

Smith may come in for friend when the prices get close enough, also mannering for wallace and elliot. Will leave me with 5 trades for the run home.

13 atm for Round 18, but that includes Lamb.

I could bring in T.Turbo and M.Taupau this week, but I might save the trades so I can bring in Mannering and J.Turbo next week and C.Smith in R20.

Who would u guys prefer to have out of these for the run home woods fifita or jturbo will only be able to bring in 1 I'm thinking jturbo

I agree, won't be long until jake starts setting tom up for line breaks and tries again.

J.Turbo

Thought I had tonight to look at trade options, but just realised a couple of them involve moving C.Walker or T.Fuimaono, so need to do it before the Rabbitohs game.

ARey vs DCE vs Cleary? Thinking DCE...
DEdwards vs TTurbo? Thinking DEdwards...

And is Merrin worth the upgrade from McGuire?

R&T, DK and I the only ones in the top 10 with Friend.

Chance to make up some lost ground.

Not having Dedwards is the killer for me. A lot of things I could have done differently here, but missing him could prove very costly

This round is carnage now.

Sitting on about 400, but only have Nathan Brown and Saunders to come. (plus Friend's score to be doubled) just have to hope everyone else struggles too

656 before friend is doubled and Elliott to play. Looks like I should make some ground this week after floating around 100 for the past little while. Dwalker my only disappointment

723 this week was gonna go James to tolman but decided against since I have 2 trades left. Might get me into top ten for the first time this year

Only scored 583 from 11 players (DEdwards captain!)

Focusing solely on eliminator and my team almost set. Will bring in Mannering for Tolman which will leave me with 7 trades to cash out some players and bring in CSmith + injuries.

Round 19 team:

McCullough (McInnes)
Gallen, JDB (JTrbo)
Taumalolo, Surgess, Mannering (Taupau)
Johnson, DCE
Crichton, Edwards
RTS, Mansour, TTrbo (CWalker)

Bye: NBrown
Cash Cows: MWZ, Eisenhuth, Fui

Only gained one spot to 13th no trades this week

Mcinnes
Taupau gallen James
Mannering jdb tolo Surgess
Cleary SJ Reynolds walker
Crichton Edwards
Mansour turbo tedesco
Have farah hayne and fui so might do the loophole
