2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 13

I can go Slater to Tedesco but I'm 95k short so which downgrade do you like. Thanks.
(a) Ferguson out - C. Scott in - 68k left
(b) Aubusson out - H. Hunt in - 20k left
(c) DCE out - C. Walker in - 172k left
(d) Merrin out - J. Trbo in (via Leuluai) - 5k left

Ah Mau isn't bleeding too much cash so Im happy to hold for a couple more weeks.

Is anyone holding on to Peats? His tweets make me think he'll be back in a couple of weeks which saves a trade in the long run.

Eels confirmed today over twitter that he'd be 2 to 4 games out

Last week I decided to trade out Sue for JTrbojevic - what a masterclass trade that turned out to be ( 17 vs 47, $10K upgrade ).

I am trading out Ah Mau simply because:

1) He's not getting great minutes
2) He's not scoring great
3) Because he's not a cash cow, not scoring great and the fact that I'm playing h2h, he's not good to me.

I am going to trade in B Lawrence this week for him.

DCE - Walker sounds like a terrible trade.

Do you have Ash Taylor? I would look at upgrading Ash Taylor for Walker. This is the other trade I'll be doing this week. (See above for my first trade).

I am seeing Walker mentioned and keep thinking Dylan...

Going to try and be sensible with my trades this week.
Green and Mann(forced trade) both out for Scott and Munster

Not really a fan of trading any of the guns out but maybe one of the first two.

With Scott (I brought him in this week for Green) I don't know how safe his position is. Blair isn't too far away and I find it strange that he was no where near the round one team but makes the round two team with Kennar dropping out of the first round team. Just weary of his spot but I had to get anyone in for Green!

It comes down to who do you think you'd rather keep for longer Fergusson or Aubusson.

Merrin and DCE im sticking by the point you'll want them in your final team.

Merrin got a massive head knock and was lucky to come back from it. DCE is still getting used to a side and hes out scored Thurston so far and only two points behind Ben Hunt. Would you trade either of those two out of your side?

So I sold Lichaa who was said to be out for about 4 weeks, only to get peats who will be out for about 4 weeks.

Not wasting anymore trades there he can sit on the pine

hey guys - as usual, had a shocking start to the year. weirdly though, I'm not overly disappointed with my team. Ranked 26,500 atm but really keen to see how my strategy works. it's basically to hold off on trades now for 2-3 weeks when I'll really, really want to and wait for guys like sj, rts, semirad and the like to bleed cash and bring them in.

one trade I have to make though is someone in for nathan green. thoughts on who the best wfb or ctr cashie is to bring in? I currently have this as my backs:

aubs green, kauva benry
mitchell barba gordon feeney guth

I was thinking Scott now with Slater out for most of the season according to reports?
Nathan Davis - Unsure on Zillman coming back?
HHunt - missed the boat?
Holland - poor job sec (named on bench with stanley back)?
Pat Mat - worried about job sec and may have missed the boat a little bit?

I'll bring Hurrell as soon as he's named as a massive risk/reward pick

I've ended up we 3 Roosters in my starting back 5 - Ferguson (ctr), Aubussen (ctr) , Mitchell (wfb).
This is really pissing me off haha. Which one out of Ferguson or Aubusson would you sell.

I have all 3, no plans to sell them yet. Although looking at possibly dumping Ferguson next week. I would hold Aubbuson until Cordner gets back.

I am going to aim to NOT trade.. next week

You have jinxed it now. Injury/suspension will occur to throw a spanner in the works.

Honestly think it is stupid with all these Merrin/Woods etc (semi guns) trades guys

Neither have scored beneath 40, I realise us owners were expecting more...it will come..

last year for example Merrin scored 40 or under 40 6 times!! yet he still averaged 54 over the season

This year he is getting more minutes doesn't always translate into more points but the bigger scores will come

I'm more concerned with you trading in Teddy!

Feeney - Tedesco is a goer. Have the cash there to do it.
