2016 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 7

Shanbon wrote:my biggest concern on Fergo was his real lack of ball playing ability which is so cruical to a good scoring fullback

And there's always the chance he bombs and gets moved back to the centres. For now I'm just keeping the rest of my team as is but just considering changing Fergo for Slater or Mansour, but leaning towards Slater.

now have arrived at

Smith (Hodgson)
Woods Evans (Packer) (Lawrence)
Surgess Merrin Rochow (Turner)
DCE Hastings
Aubbo CLaw
Inglis Gordon Barba

Really hoping Barba named FB for this team to work
Otherwise will have to downgrade Merrin to Cartwright or Inglis to Ferguson.  Either will give me the spare cash to turn Rochow to Whitehead.
Oh, you don't care?
Just thought since you boys were all into fantasy, that you would be interested in seeing the 2016 NRL Fantasy championship starting side. My mistake....

Rookie question: Can anyone tell me what an advanced trade is?

Generally it is a trade where you are trading 2 players at the same time or involving moving DPP to other positions. E.g. Trading out Nathan Peats for Josh Reynolds via a J. Nikorima switch.

just allows you to trade DDP between the different slots mate

so what's happened to the bandwagon that was following peats. if i recall correctly when fantasy was released, peats' name popped up in almost all teams. why the change. he hasn't moved from my team from day 1. am i missing something.

just think that with the addition of Scott into the backrow, there won't be any need for Peats to move into the back row and De Gois/Pritchard will likely be on the bench

Only reason I can think Peats was popular is he's the only Hooker that plays in all 3 bye rounds and he's a pretty good scorer so starting with him is a reasonable idea. I eyed for him for a spot for that reason but I gathered that unless his average significantly goes up he won't rise too much in price and I can aim to get him closer to the bye rounds.

Same here bro, I have had Smith/Peats as my combo since day 1. The only other consideration was Seggy/Peats but I haven't done it yet

De Gois. Sigh. Be less shit already. Good point though lol

What's the better option:

JDB & Granville

or

Lichaa & LAM

He is gross and another Sironen sapping points potential from other players

He averaged some fairly decent minutes last year so not sure how that effects Peats with the Eels backrow additions

So this would count as one trade?

Peats is a bit injury prone now isn't he? Last three seasons ended with injury

Yes few season enders and concussion worries

Wow Auva'a and Hymel Hunt are cousins must make things a little awkward for whom ever will get the spot.

It'd be ironic if its the one year he gets picked for origin
