2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 47

I think if all my 10 players lineup I might just make a max of 2 trades. Murray now going to start with Angus out, Griffin looking like a solid 18th man, the only ones I probably would trade are RFM and JFH, don't think they can be held even though they will be good for 17, but could have lost all their coin.

RFM losing 57K!!! Ah, I feel sick.

This week showed how having guys like RFM (unlucky scenario), JFH, Murray can hurt ya. Murray will be gone come 14. No one with less than 50 minutes is useful unfortunately

I honestly don't know how anyone is going to have decent numbers in round 17, unless they've got themselves a team full of under-performers. From what I can see there are only 3 players who will play round 17 that are averaging over 50. McInnes, Johnson and Martin, who might not even be still in the team by then. Harris is another that is decent but scores have been injury affected. I can't really think of many others that are final team worthy. Maybe TPJ if he keeps a starting spot?

I actually seem to have a decent shot this year, but I don't think I want to destroy my team to bring in extra guys who might score 40 points in one week, if it means they score 5-10 fewer points every other week they are in my team.
But who really knows what is the best thing to do.

It's bloody painful that's for sure.

I will trade them both. They don't have a place in a final 17. So will see what can be done.

Terrible scores today, but still managed 875 and a decent move up the rankings.

That nsw team looks a little light on the bench imo

Yep exactly. Harris can be thrown in with that lot I reckon.

Yeah just seems this year all the best guys are weighted towards 13. If you can grab Harris, SJ, McInnes then that gives you a decent shot at doing okay in Rd17

8 players before trades 17 trades left - 330k to spend. Might use two trades and go with 10 this round. See what happens with official nsw/qld teams.

Think I'll only have 9 next week,if Gosi gets picked of course. About the same in round 17 at this stage,fuck the byes

Functional? Mine won't let me trade.

Was thinking earlier in the week that id only make two trades for bye round and that is still looking likely.

I may have jumped the gun. I didn't actually test

Might just get TMM and Taupau this week.

Time to go shopping.

Yeah, the trade page is casuing errors for me when I try and trade.

I think Lolohea will be lucky to play next week, doubly so as he isn't first choice goal kicker now (although I'm not sure why as he is better than Marsters). Fonua seems safe if he stays on track, and looks like a 35 average with a pretty big ceiling with a bit of luck.

I'm getting Taupau I think. Could get Matterson instead, but I think Taupau is worth the extra. TMM is a good shout for a downgrade, but then I'll have too many backs as back ups. Already got Fonua, COggar and Isaako. Kind of need a forward, especially if it's JFH and RFM that are going.

I'm happy I got Fonua, I think he is safe with surely now him and Marsters the set centres. His defense was pretty crap today but his offloading got them down the field at times.

Lolohea I think might have been his final shot. Marsters obviously a fav with Cleary with keeping the goal kicking and Thompson and Nofo seem like they are safe now. I think Cleary knows Thompson is better on the wing and maybe just gave Lolohea the benefit of the doubt. Looks like Thompson will go back to FB I think. Unless Kevin N gets a run at the back maybe? But he's out of favour too leaving next year.

RFM > TMM
JFH > Taupau
Kikau > Surgess
Havili > Brown

Hahahaha

My bad, I was looking at the best case scenario if max trading between Rounds 13 and 17, but unfortunately that means you would be trading guns out. I think you can theoretically have 14 in Round 13 and 17 in Round 17 (or vice versa), but they could just be a bunch of "flannels" and thus counter productive in the long run.

Looks juicy. Although who knows if Brown is ever coming back.
