2017 NRL.COM Fantasy Thread 55

Lost 120 points this week due to changes made throughout the rolling lockouts. Lesson learned to pick and stick!

I mentioned the same thing earlier today, it's very frustrating!

Captain Slap cost me 2 h2hs. (pre-updates)

How can she slap.!

If that game had of involved a Bulldog player the ref sin binned he would of had to leave the ground with armed security.

Merrin one of the highlights of my week. Howbowdah

Fui seems like the safer option. Lolohea could produce against the the Knights though.

Went with Lolohea (yay) but the app didn't register my fourth reserve (fuck!) so I'll think I end up with Feeny as an AE. Could have been worse, but that's 30 points down the drain! Grrrrrrr.

TBH I'm only half committed to fantasy this year (baby stuff), but this kinda thing still grates.

The ref knew he had nothing to worry about as Rabbitohs fans are toothless.

Hows everyone shaping for next week? I have 9, pre trades, and 9 trades in hand.

Considering Brailey->Koro/Farah (then Smith in round 20).
Other obvious option is ET to cash.
Could get Nathan Brown as well... need to run the numbers for round 19 players..

Everyone else is already a keeper or a cash out, or part of my team for next week. Even Hayne looks like he may as well stay on as an 18th/19th/spare man.

If you somehow end up with only 3 reserves, you don't actually get an AE (assuming your 16 named players all take the field)

For this week I will have..

N. Friend
J. Bromwich, N. Brown (F. Taulua)
S. Burgess, A. Crichton
A. Reynolds
S. Mata'Utia, T. Fuimaono (C. Scott)
B. French, C. Munster (Unlikely)

So I will most likely have 11 for next week. I have 6 trades in hand. Depending on price changes I may bring in M. Taupau for E. Whitehead.

Yeah super effort there against 14 men.

Also Johnny with a massive score. How is that rank looking?

 

Top 4. If I can't win it all, I'll settle for the NRL Shop voucher.

Probably high water mark for season given I've only got 14 after trades next week (13 without Munster) and some seem to have full teams.

14 not too bad.

Graham, Munster, maybe Ma'u will hurt a few teams. And no doubt there will be some other surprise hehe the round is out

11 before trades with 9 trades remaining. Will do something with Yates but don't know what. Hopefully foghorn gets a run to take me up to 12.

Only got 886. Captain Tolo and Croker killed me. The Cleary trade could have held off I guess.

11 for me.
Round 19 is a mostly quality 15.
No trading allowed for me.

Low BE and good price and byes finished and great 3 round average. I was worried about the trade as you now, but I don't regret it at all. Pamfus got pumped, just so long as that doesn't become the norm.
