2017 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 52 - Fantasy talk in here

From Wacko;

Warriors Shaun Johnson expected to play tomorrow in #NRLWarriorsBulldogs but is recovering from flu early in week

Fuckin' man up mate!

Bulldogs Brenko Lee & Kerrod Holland have both travelled to NZ with team, one of them will come onto wing as B.Morris replacement

I don't hate it. Was thinking of this trade. 3/4 games Vaughan scores a try +70 points

Vaughan I think will score well with his upcoming games = knights, titans, raiders, manly. Open games seem to suit him.

After I saw that tweet from wacko I took the vc off SJ.

Is it worth holding onto Kelly so I can have 17 this week and an extra player for round 18? Not sure what to do with him

I feel at his price he's not worth really doing anything with. He'll probably just sit there and rot for the rest of the year for me. Maybe he can bag a try in round 18.

SJ must have had a bad case of man flu. Usually a 2 week recovery for that crippling flu strain.

If Scott plays I'll have 18

Ideally the Cowboys drop Hampton (wishful thinking)

Want to bring in Edwards this week.

Tempted to punt Nofo, the tigers are just terrible and he just isn't getting a decent run. But ive lost so much cash on him, and if the tigers pick up he will be a good POD.

Nofo to Edwards leaves me with: RTS, Edwards, Mansour. Nuff nuff

I can go abbey to Edwards, its just smashes the war chest.

Would leave me with: RTS, Edwards, Mansour, Nofo. Nuff.

Edwards plays an extra game from here over nofo and is in much better scoring form.

Other trades.

Still carrying Hampton who is bleeding cash, tossing up selling him to a 138k giving me more funds the remaining rounds and just playing low on numbers this round, coz he is going to score his usual fuck all.

Final option.

Bring in Taupau for either JDB or whitehead. Was always going to be Whitehead, but with JDB missing this week and a further bye, im not sure.

Can go
JDB>Taupau
Abbey>Edwards

Or

Whitehead>Taupau
Nofo>Edwards

First options gives me more players this round, and better for byes. However I always planned on having JDB in final side, and first option leaves me with Whitehead in final side potentially.

If Laybutt plays Ill have 17 for this week. Another opportunity to loophole

Haven't been this excited since the last time I loopholed. Think I might have a fetish or something.

Punting Nofo would be a big call mate, especially considering how much you have lost on him. Surely he has to come good. Saying that, Edwards looking like the real deal.

I just got JDB last week, so I ain't gonna trade him and I think is one you want in your final team. I'd look at punting Hampton to be honest.

Currently I need both Curtis Scott, MWZ and Nu Brown to play to get to 17

Will likely improve that number by 1 with a trade today, but loophole looking like an option.

Currently VC on Munster, It was Roosters away where he scored his 99 last year, so why not bet on history repeating (obviously reason against it is the Roosters are a much better team this season and won't get done by 40, but I feel like a punt)

White Lightning wrote:Is JDB to Vaughan too sideways & a waste of a trade.

I dont think thats a good trade. On averages you'll get an extra 55 points this week and then be down 3 points per week thereafter (and receive $25k for the trade). 1 Trade therefore nets you 28 points. Not a good return considering JDB to Taupau would get you ~100 (but costs u ~35k)

But then if you take the $ into account. $10k = 1 point if you can put it to use, the $25k you get from trade A basically negates the 3 points each week => 1 trade = ~50 points.
and => Trade B = the ~100 - ~30 (from the $35k op cost) = ~70 points.

So still the Taupau trade is better.

Not sure if that is confusing or helpful

@Loomer

Sorry mate, I havent had the time to go through the whole thread, but did you manage to provide a sauce or any more info regarding the Gurgess HIA you mentioned earlier?

Cheers

Can go Hampton to Marsters and Abbey to Edwards.

Both will make money this week and points. which is better than what Abbey and Hampton will provide.

Making stepping to other players a bit easier later on. Just seems a bit late in the season to be making those sort of trades with only 8 trades left. Not too far off my final 17 though.

This is definitely very helpful mate & I agree with you. Great analysis & much appreciated.

I think I'll steal your Munster vc idea mate. I've gone off SJ vc due to his flu flu. My other option is Taumalolo but Munster seems much more punty & fun.

Teddy ruled out. Enter the MWZ

Not sure how reliable this is and I can't find anything else, but this saying Teddy has been ruled out.

ah ffs teddy you gronk.
