Who?

Nope I can’t loop as I have all green dots but I guess I’m leaning towards leaving DCE out and if Ponga is back next week I might just flip DCE to get him back in especially if DCE has another poor game

Brought Tedesco this week to basically complete my team. I will have to play Katoa this weekend while I carry Ponga. Cleary and Surgess are my only guys who I would consider upgrading which I might do a bit later. Still have 8 trades left so we will see.

Imagine the halfback you could have got with that money

If you had that Wright player already and sold him and had lotsa trades left it would be ideal. But 0.00 ownership of course haha

danseels1985 wrote:3 trades mate. What about DCE to Farah to give me a bit more cash towards Isaako to Ponga?

I would take Ponga though if you could. But it's not the end of the world having Isaako there. If you want to take the risk DCE to Farah and getting Ponga is good trades, but very risky in terms of depth.

Is there anyone in here that bought Wright last week. Can you sell him for 2.9mil?

@Random yeah I think I’ll play it safe as my team is pretty solid as is and I think I’ll just go DCE to Ponga whenever he is back and save the other 2 trades for injuries

Honestly not too worried what happens tonight, just need everyone to get through injury free.

My bet is that he wasn't even in the system last week.

This.

Is it dumb to have $270k in the bank with only two trades left?

My trades this week will be
Alvaro-arrow
Tapine-Farah

Leaves me with
Smith
Fifita, arrow
Jurbo, tolo, james
Dce,sj
Croker, aitken
Teddy, cotric, hiku

Cook, Martin, McInnes, Farah
Lewis, Fainu, perret, ponga.

Tapine has to go. Can afford him to just about anyone. Is tapine to Farah/Taupau/arrow a better option, leave Alvaro and hold the trade? My thought is Alvaro is fairly consistent unlikely to go large. Farah higher likely average, the other two have much higher chance of going big, but a few question marks.

Going ahead with trades above. Means if there are any injuries I can upgrade or at least do straight swap.

It seems to me you are hell bent on trading because you have too many good players and don't want to have to pick. Am I right? Seems crazy with limited trades left. Me on the other hand, I'm trading because my team looks nothing like yours. I'd hold mate.

One of my most favourite times in fantasy sports (and I tell this story as often as it's relevant) is when in Super Rugby Dream Team Andre Pretorius was added for $0.
He played one game and then returned to his proper base price.

Base price players were $98k if I remember correctly.
I actually kept him for a few weeks because he was a goal kicking five-eighth.

Essentially made $98k in one week in a game where price rises don't take effect until after the player has played three games and your biggest increase in a player would be about $30-40k.

That wasn't even the year I finished 5th. (side-brag)

Jy Hitchcox circa FanHub 2014 as well from memory-got entered as 0$ and played the Round like that. I think they put his 110k base price in after full Lockout and a heap of player's went to minus salary

I'll see your Jack Bird and raise you Josh Reynolds!

At least Reynolds has flashed when fit, Bird has been horseshit

Yeah, he has actually been great.

I don't think it's dumb. They are good trades but you could potentially wait a week on the Alvaro trade and see if you get any injuries this week. And with the cash as you say you can potentially make your injury trades actual upgrades when they occur.

Yeah I think that’s the ticket. Safe play. I can bring anyone in for Tapine, is Farah the most important?

I don't really know, I've had Farah blinkers on, that's who I'm getting unless something changes.
