2017 NRL.com Fantasy Thread Part 10

Finally managed to crack the Brailey to Mcinnes conundrum and it barely cost me a downgrade.
Could do it with bringing in Musgrove but unsure on him
With the luxury of a few DPP player swaps, (Moving SMat back to 2rf, starting Talakai and FKaufusi)

Out Brailey/Gallen/JWallace
In Mcinnes/ETaylor/IPapalii (NPR)

Smith[/Mcinnes
Fifita/FKaufusi                           Yates/Papalii
Debelin/Surgess/Taylor/Kromwich/Smat/Sironen
Lamb/Elgey                                     Fogarty/138k (maybe Jacks)
Idris/Talakai                                   Kelly/Suli
Gutherson/RTS/Hayne                       Phythian/Cotric

If in a couple weeks it turns out the Segy news doesn't eventuate, worst case I bring in Brailey

Final pieces to the puzzle gents.

Brailey/Fifita or Macca/Saifiti

Just realised I don't have any Sharks or Broncoes in my team

I guess I'll be dropping in ranking tonight

Understand the above, but i like what i have seen and he is in a good spot if anyone goes down in his team.

Considering captain Fifita so I can get my best rank of the year out of the way early

I really like it. No gun half but that backrow is stacked + Fifi

Fifita + Saifiti. Just.

Thanks, I'll stick with fifita. Just not sure on DSaifiti with Starling, Stockwell, JSaifiti could all rotate between 35-45 minutes.

Think I might start with both Sharks front rowers.

Everyone running Felise Kaufusi and Elgey in their 17 with non players in the 25 how are you planning to make any cash? Gonna need some luck with great cash cows popping up mid year or that early lead is going to disappear very quickly

Asked this last thread but got no response -

Radradra as a POD wfb?

Not one mention of Radradradradaaaa yet.... I was super happy with my team....until I put it into a bye planner and have 9 playing in rd 12. Now I'm back twitching like a madman and rocking in the foetal position under my desk.

Have I lost my mind thinking he's underpriced? He was terrible last year.....

Fuck - spooky @TheWeapon

Ha! Funny that we both posted this at the same time. I'm honestly considering him now....

It's a sign. He just replaced Moylan in my team

Nothing wrong running them in your 17 mate, in the 13 then different story because likely overspent in other positions leaving NPRs dotted around

The first time I had $50k left
The second time I had $63k left
The third time I had $44k left


The fuck is going on!?

I was going to post this the other day, but I assumed I was going crazy. I could SWEAR I tinkered with 3 or 4 positions then reverted exactly to as it was, only to have 50k or so less in the bank.

Also, THE NEW UPDATE LOOKS HORRENDOUS. It actually looks like an unfinished demo version.

I decided there's good chance Fifi will lose value early and McGuire good enough replacement to get Brailey upgrade money. Koro as Segey placeholder. Of course 1k short. I will have to lose Perrett and add 138k already have Papalii and Yates in 2RF but I think it's sensible plan

To me they are too expensive as NPR players without sacrificing on a gun.
If they are included in your squad then you are banking on them making money, they need to score points for that so might as well include them in your 17.
Whether that be in your 13 on as a reserve, as long as you have a plan and cover then it shouldn't matter

I feel I need the Guns to balance out the mid rangers which means i need the cheapies, so you are either risking mid rangers increasing enough to get the guns later, or the cheapies making it.

Both options involve risk

This year there isn't a lot of bottom priced cows so banking on the Sironens/Kaufusis and in the backs to make the cash.
Moneyball it up

awwww fook, game day jitters.

Votes please:
E Taylor and M Moses
or
K Brom and SJ / Norman

Does anyone think ET and K Brom are both must haves? It's one or the other with my current team make up.
