NRL Fantasy 2019 Part 27

I think with Brown & AK not playing is actually a blessing in disguise, this eliminates the whole which half to play roulette so I think my trades this week will be bringing in a gun half to partner with Munster considering either one of them will be a trade/upgrade eventually.

While they are not urgent trades as they won't be losing money i'm thinking Gillett & Burns out for

Cherry-Evans & Xerri-evens (even score of 60 coming up) .

Best no trade team I could come up with based on what we know now.

Farah (826/907)
Surgess (671/750), Tamou (563/692)
Murray (595/672), Twal (551/604), Garner(340/482)
DCE (823/833), Arey(729/775)
Bateman(593/702), Nikora (212/448)
CNK (379/498), Oates(539/661), Periera (418/520)

Morgan (450/534), Lawrie (276/411), Bird (289/440), Napa (355/466),
Cartwright (273/335), Burr(228/339), Sivo (212/292), Ravalawa (212/277)

All up team value of 9.534m on day 1 with 11.638m now (highest currently 11.28m)
Points wise I have this team at 2827 points which is ranked 1st by 117 points. I'm sure you could tweak the players to get more optimal but I also avoided all injured/dropped players so the likes of Burns, Brown and Keighran are all excluded. Note I did this quickly off the top of my head so there could be a few errors but you get the point.

Good work, be interesting to see the opposite of this, like team of players who's lost the most cash.

I'm currently looking at Friend to Lewis.

I don't want to sell him, but it looks like he's missing 2 weeks and then who knows how he performs once he's back.
I wouldn't normally sell for 2 weeks, but with #halfageddon I think I'm leaning towards a full time fix rather than a patch up job. The cheap half option didn't exactly go bonanza the first time around.

Lol hadn’t even thought of Burns and Keighran to CHT and Rein. Would that make more sense? Mahoney could be downgraded next week to free up money for upgrades. Would be a headache choosing a bench though haha

Cook
Fifita Tolman
Murray Lane Arrow
Morgan CHT
Nikora Bird
Hughes CNK Sivo

Mahoney
Gillett
Garner
Rein

Capewell
Lawrie
Ravalawa
Brown

Trying to choose between Lewis or SJ thoughts?

That team looks solid with those trades and gives you plenty of depth , pull the trigger

As someone who took the gamble and bought him in mid last Round, this is great.  Hopefully he gets a sneaky 20 minutes at Lock as well

Wish I went through with capewell e rein last week.

Two red dots for two cash earners.

I’ve had that many trade options going through my head the last few days I am going for Liverpool_Bulldog’s title. Better to exhaust options then miss the right one through lack of effort!

I’m going to try and keep friend. Annoying to waste the cash for 2 weeks and be slow on Bateman and Tedesco, but will hopefully save a trade, keep hooker cover for me, and get rid of players who are out for longer.

I’m thinking of doing keighran to the Carty party, and then can either do:
A: burns to Xerri
B: brown to Sivo allowing me a look at Sivo’s score before picking between him and ravalawa

Thoughts much appreciated! I’m still a bit all over the shop

Carty needs 80 to be worth it in the interim, Fotuaika back on the bench worries me a bit

I posted this in a question but was mocked for bringing it up a second time after no response initially. Gotta love the internet

He replaces king who only got 20 or so minutes

Does anyone know the titans rotation better and wants to enlighten us?

I feel there is daylight between them looking at a season-long keeper. However, looking at stats, it appears a lot closer over these three games.

SJ is a proven GUN and even with a club change should still be top 4 HLFs with DCE, Cleary and ARey this year.

Yes, Lewis has had a great start. But I do not think he can keep it up. Think his average will drop from mid 50s to mid 40s over the year. I think SJ will continue to hit a low 50s average with the occasional monster score.

SJ is starting to look fairly menacing on that right edge.

Don't mind how quick this place moves sometimes mate. A lot of the times your questions won't get answered and will get buried in the sea of posts. I know someone posted a deja vu type comment or something to your repeatedquestion, but I must admit because I think your copied the same text, when it came up again it kind of made you double take a bit. haha, it wasn't a propper sledge mate, more a funny observation. No one here goes out of their way to be a dick and no one tries to be an asshole intentionally.

Anyway, I'm still just a undecided on my trades this week as you. I don't really seeing any middle forwards affecting Carty on the edge. The only thing perhaps James moves out to give the props more time, but unfortunately it seems Arrow might be that man. Brennan loves Carty and has invested a lot in him. maybe the final prodcut of his work is starting to come out to show. He may very well get back to that year he had in the halves at the Panthers, he was really an out and out gun. I had him most of that year in my team and he really was one of my favourite players, he is very skillful when he wants to be. I even started with him the next year only for him to break his ankle or something in round 2 and he's never been the same since. I do hope he can regain what he had that year, for himself and the Titans who could use a player like that.

Most are taking an educated guess due to the half situation. No one really know what Brennan is thinking.

If you join the Carty party you can have fun till Friday evening when we can all go back to talking about measles for his kid.

I’ve got thicker skin than that, just actually value the opinions of many on here so was keen to hear them!

Definitely some guesswork. Hopefully not a false dawn for his form. Yeah James is more my worry than futiaka himself. From last week king only took 20 minutes and fotuiaka will take 40. Where do those 20 minutes come from? I see them as being Carty atm which would make me gamble on CHT I think or changing my trade plans altogether
