But seriously, are we expected to keep track of our own trades manually all season.

I have not made the specific query. But every post made on Facebook by NRL Fantasy gets bombarded with people complaining about the lack of functionality, it will be on their to do list somewhere. Sadly their 'to do' list is very long so not sure when they'll get around to it

Thanks guys,I guess I'm just a bit wary as I usually have the problem of running out of cash and don't want this to happen again. My strategy was going to be to wait until most of my cash cows peak and then trade in guns(not sure if this is a wise strategy or not) as my team is still performing reasonably well(ranked about 3000). I am tempted to just bring in a gun half and forget about it but I guess I'm thinking their prices would change much barring a massive run of form so maybe the gap between my cow and the gun wouldn't be as much? Let me know if I'm being foolish lol

I’m thinking Croft to Benji jnr, for coverage at FB and half, plus Papalli to Ese Ese. I think he’s the best of the Arrow, TPJ, EE trio. I’ll hang on to Lolohea as I reckon he will end up gold.
Leaves me with this;
Cook, McInnes
Ese Ese, McGuire
Murray, Fitzgibbon, Rochow, Griffin, RFM
Cleary, Douehie, Cartwright
Kennar, Aubbs
Ponga, Benji Jnr, Thompson
Kikau, Havalli, Godinet, Lolohea
I know Aubbs is an absolute trap, but he can wait unless he doesn’t start, then I’m fucked as I have no CTR cover.
Thoughts ?
Rabs. You don't need to ask for advice. I think you nailed it. Ese'ese/Aarow might be a toss up for me but otherwise you're on target.

If you can bring in a gun half then do it. Price changes are irrelevant for guns because they are set & forget.

Sorry I meant to say the guns prices won't change much so I could save a bit of cash if I wait for one of my cows to gain more value to close the gap?

First few weeks are best time for heavy trading though. Many good players are as cheap as they will be all season, so you want to grab them while you can.
Yes, but is it worth using a trade to slightly upgrade a slow moving cow for a faster moving cow. Assuming no disasters, all my players are making money the next 2-3 weeks.
I was looking at how to use trades this season and have allocated them as follows:
Use of Trades
Already used 2 (before this week)
Bring in Nuffs 2
Bring in players post origin 2
Trade players between byes 12
Injuries/form 4
Before byes 9
Run home 1
Origin cover 2
Total 34
Its really tight to get through the season with enough trades, so need to save them now.

Great response thanks mate!Mearcats wrote:
Well well well, if it ain't my "former guns" sparing partner himself! Hahaha. Heya mate, always happy to have a look over things for you bloke, only fair considering the amount of help you bandy around the place on a regular basis!
I wouldn't say you have any glaring holes fella. Glad to see you stuck with pimple for a change instead of backflipping.Personally, I think your halves are very light. Depth there to cover them is also light. Of course, this is early days and you know well enough that knee jerk reactions in this game will get you nowhere.
Ballsy taking a risk on JMK in your starting side. I don't disapprove of it but it's a risk. Here's hoping for both your sake moreso than mine and Doggies fans more than both of us that he can be a shining light for em!
Inglis (as I've covered and you've already stated) is a hold for now. I'm not sure how long "for now" is but I have decided that for the foreseeable future I'll hang on to him. My patience is wearing thin tho and I'f I'm prepared to advocate dumping Jayne then I also have to be prepared to seriously look at offloading GI eventually. I can't have the bloke sitting there at his price and not performing with better suited, more solid centers on the scene. Watch this space I guess.
My other unknown is Fifita. This is trampling on your toes I know but that has to be hurting. He's already lost coin, currently priced at 780ish bucks for an average of 48 giving him a realistic price of 720... Do you hold? I can see why you would and couldn't mount a decent argument against it but sheesh... Tough.
Lastly, I've said the same about Havili heaps of times. He's going to be a very slow burn at this rate (even with a BE of -1). You have a heap of coin to play with... Not tempted to make an aggressive move and bump him?
Overall mate I think you're sitting pretty nicely, definitely nothing there that's gonna sink the ship before it gets off the shoreline. Just a few things to consider and keep an eye on.
I'm happy with Douiehi mate whilst he starts at least, look to be taking on ARey massive KM totals and is a decent defender so his base starts are great, Croker has been decent over 2 weeks, It's Carty I'm worried about moving back to the middle in limited minutes because he loves a missed tackle
Happy with Whitehead feels I've been rewarded with tries when he has been shifted to the CTRS, can't wait to see his totals playing lock full time!
Benji junior should also have decent base stats, transitioning from bench hooker so should be solid in defence and Frawley has some decent KM totals also, with Foran not a dominant kicker, i reckon he is a solid play, would rather his floor over running isaako who has been solid!
Mate in years gone by I would of dumped Fifita, my line of thinking would of been, I can get similar scores from TPJ/Ese for $300k less, but the reality is, Fifita has finished top scorer both games for the Sharkies and has been very quiet facing 2 of the best forward packs in the game with great middle defenders, without doing much at all he has almost averaged 50 and we know is a definite last 17 player. I'm happy I have had zero thoughts of trading him out!
Inglis has been solid, headknock fucked him last week, move to fullback will see him at least make back the money he has lost, easy move to Latrell if I choose to
Don't see the issue with havilli if he continues his current average he will peak around $440,000 for more than $200,000 of price rise mate, happy to have him on the bench fella!
next move will be using my cash to get Cleary in for Cartwright I think or maybe Pearce, being the fallen gun guy I am, will monitor old man Gallen very closely

I was going to go Bromwich to TPJ but I just feel like it is too sideways. They would be very similar scorers without the try TPJ got on the weekend. Instead gone Bromwich to Murray (through Rochow). Also thought about Ese'ese and Arrow but I feel like Murray has the most upside.

I have contacted them directly and through LS. They are aware of the issue, as Milchcow said it is on their list.
The funny thing is when I bought it up the first time Fanhub said
"Hi Kyle,
It's impossible to exceed your overall limit of trades (34), because you are limited on a week-to-week basis. Therefore you don't have to worry about how many trades you have left for the season
In the coming weeks, we will be looking to implement a team history section of the game as part of our new rebuild where you can go back and see data on your actions such as trades completed.
Thanks very much,
FanHub Support"
But after explaining it a third time, they began to understand what I meant. Then it was added to their to do list.

And their last response on the matter.
"Hi Kyle,
Apologies you're completely correct - the initial paragraph in the last response we gave was incorrect. We are scaling up our support team to enable us to respond more quickly at this busy time, leading to a learning curve for new staff. In this instance this is simply an incorrect response so apologies for that.
Thanks for being on the ball and putting us in our place. You're right that total trades remaining is pertinent information and this is going to be added to the Trades page in the very near future. Thanks again for getting in touch about this.
Kind Regards,
FanHub Support"

Ese'Ese was my pick preseason, who not many talked about that would elevate to a gun this yearWeiland wrote:I was going to go Bromwich to TPJ but I just feel like it is too sideways.

I've started the seasons past with too many LAMs, DSaifitis who just stayed where they were in terms of scoring from previous year averages
but I'm gutted I didn't trust my gut with him, thing he has over others is great minutes and he is a worker, he also has attacking potential for TBs and offloads. I didn't trust his minutes with a muddled knights pack and still don't completley as Barnett went off early and first game went to overtime but I may jump on him next week

How many players are you planning to play in rounds 13 and 17? I am targeting playing 16 in round 13 and 17 in round 17. If I can manage that, I should make up around 300 points or so compared to most of the field in those 2 rounds.

I'll happily put them in their place regularly if they enjoy it so much. You hear that @Foina, I'm back in straya by the end of this season. I'll happily accept a job with a megaphone out the front of your office, telling those useless pelicans you employ to abuse a keyboard, how many things they got wrong today.
