2018 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 53

Cold feet on Martin to SJ trade.
Could leave it a week but if SJ increases by more than 16k it is out of reach. Anybody have an accurate BE? Milch's sheet has 55 and NRLF.com.au has 48.
With news of Woods leaving the Dogs ASAP, it might be smart to wait and see if Martin makes it back into the squad.

All things being equal and given no injuries, a 36.5 point player who plays Rnd17 is better than a 40 point player who doesn't. I've had Mitchell from the start but wouldn't be trading him in right now. Hiku is servicable. If flush with trades consider Aitken or Cotric (SoO risk accepted).

Similarly a 50 point Rnd 17 player, playing 11 games, is as valuable as a 55 point 10 game player, and likely 75k cheaper. Finding those players is trickier.

How many fantasy points do you think will get scored this round?

If its around 9400 - SJ's BE will be around 55
If it is closer to 9000, then 48 is going to be closer to the correct BE

Pain wrote:Doueihi BE -7

Martin BE -1

Both still have cash to make

How quickly will they make the cash?

Doueihi will play 0-10 minutes a game unless someone gets injured.

Martin will play 80 minutes in NSW Cup unless he can force his way back into the first grade side.

If you can upgrade them to a final 17 gun, why wouldn't you.

I thin Welshy (and Rhinoceroo) are right, anmd I'll keep Hiku for round 17 and upgrade him once that is done.

Trade out can come back into play if he ends up playing for NZ and missing games

RFM, James, Macca if dropped for origin (highly unlikey) Yeo but I can't find the stats playing pure 2RF for 80 mins

The Denzer test does need to be monitored , I've just traded in SJ and Harris so I'll be eagerly awaiting the team lists 

Those Hiku R17 points will be valuable as well

okay let me rephrase: Can anybody who bought the fantasy coach tell me what the BE they have for SJ is, regardless of the shift that occurs due to the total fantasy point scored?
Please the thank you

SJ's BE is 51 bro

At this stage of the season it's points over cash so that's why some of the players with low b/e's are being sold.

Cheers mate, much appreciated

Maguire, who is expected to hand Test debuts to the likes of Wests Tigers centre Esan Masters and Penrith forwards Corey Harawira-Naera and James Fisher-Harris, has revealed the innovative move to have no official captain.

All those players should backup for round 16. Tigers play 8 day later, and Penrith 7 (plus Hook already shown he's happy to let panthers play after just 2 days anyway)

Agree. Pretty much eveyone has a gun team with all the usual suspects. Points are crucial now.

Origin, Denver test, rd 17 and injuries will still shakes things up a bit but looking at all the teams been posted they all look really strong

The old zero trades to 3 this week switcheroo.

Ada boy. Pull...the... trigger
All 3 are massive points improving trades and season end keepers playing 17. Plenty to like.

Haha I like to keep the boys guessing mate.
Cheers pal.

This is tough.  Round 18 he'll see big minutes again you'd think if Crichton gets rested again.  Burgii will play after the test too, there's an article where either Tom or George mentioned it.  Hard to see him fitting in a final 17 for the run home when he can easily be upgraded to Brown, even Harris.

There's always early injuries, but you can't really bank on that.

Up the Bunnies!!

The annoying thing is that even in round 13 he only played 63 minutes. I think he turns into Brown or double trade up to Taupau for me

C on Cook for me this week. Tempted to leave it on Cam, but Cook with that +4 average and playing first up, so let's go for the temporary rankings jump.

Expecting both to carve up vs. Eels and Knights, but Cook's running game and week off give him the edge imo.

Have gone:

Rapana to Tom Trb. Thought about Mbye with an extra game and 40k cheaper, but might miss it anyway if transferring to Tigs.

Murray to Harris. Had it locked in for last week, but seemed unnecessary, time to pull the trigger on it now that Kikau seems he'll only miss a game or 2 and hopefully put up something decent in Rd 17.

Holding Martin for now aswell. Hopefully gets back into the team and plays Rd 17 too.

Tempted by this Fainu guy. Doueihi looks to be my only trade-out candidate. I thought Gagai was out for 3-4 weeks or something. I guess I should've watched origin since apparently he played.

Puts some cash back in the bank and maybe 17th man over Martin/Kikau/Brimson/Olive rounding out the 18-21.

I am expecting a good score from Cook. He hasn't played since origin so that's an 8 day rest. I think he breaks the line at least once and scores an easy try from dummy. I wouldn't be surprised if they go about the same though.
