NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 28 - Eels in crisis, no minutes for gun cheapies

Wayde Egan might need to be moved on soon, to sell at the peak (but who knows maybe he starts scoring two tries every week) and because I have 4 warriors which is going to be 2 too many come round 12. Him to Brailey is an easy 90K.

Any chance Teddy is out more than just this week? He's TBC on the NRL casualty ward. If so could be veeery tempted by a certain JoeyM, 70BE be damned. Maybe he's still just a round 14 pickup though.

HSS -> Kodi
Carty -> Hosking

Probably can hold Carty for a week or two more, but BE 30 now and a bit of uncertainty with Lane back now I think it might be worth moving him on a touch early to get on Hosking.

There is only 1 origin round that Manu plays fullback. Overpriced as a CTR

That's a mattnz trade if I've ever seen one

So weird, he is in 0.5% of top 5,000.

I have to move on two guys to get Cleary + someone cheap (probably Niko, maybe Sele.. doesn't need to be in my 17).

E Butcher is almost certainly one of them. Then there is Welch/Loiero/Carty, as well as Hopgood.

I think there's a reasonable chance that Hopgood comes on after 15-20 minutes and plays out the game, could still score really well.

Welch mins have been a sour point. Loiero is very up and down with scoring. Carty.. it seems sensible to hold.. ?

Whichever one goes will score the most points this week.
