Homemmm......Xerri to Burns or no? 6 trades left and I think if I bring him in then he's part of the 17. He allows me to have 17 this week, bank $50k, provides more flexibility with DPP and I think he will be comparable to Xerri for the run home. If I don't do it I will have to play Pearson again this week for his regulation 15-20 points

Origin 1 he played 51 minutes and then backed up for 57 minutes 2 days later
Origin 2 he played 32 minutes and then backed up for 42 minutes 4 days later
No idea what that means haha I would have expected the other way round in regards to minutes backing up

Hey guys chasing a bit of guidance on my team if you have time.
CS9
Fifi Haas
Taupau Murray Lolo
Ponga SJ
Nikora Bateman
CNK Teddy RTS
Cook Mcinnis Fainu Xerri
Carrigan Walters Mann To'o
431k itb 7 trades
What players should i go after?
Thinking of going To'o - burns, xerri - munster
First trade feels a bit sideways but gives good cover for later and burns appears to be able to knock up some good scores.
What would you do?

So I need a half & might buy Wighton for a pod & also because he covers hlf & wfb. The Raiders play the last game so he should play. I did consider A. Reynolds but he's too injury prone & I did consider Moses but he's a bit too expensive. The thing that pops out straight away with the Raiders upcoming draw is that they play the Warriors twice in rounds 20 & 25.

This also worries me. May need to wait a week on Martin>Arey and just go Xerri>Burns so Martin can fill in if Murray is out. This way I can double trade next week Watson and Martin for Gun and Arey. Arey BE is around 48 so hopefully won't make mammoths amount of cash.

Who to captain?
Tolo: Cowboys likely get smashed by the Roosters but JWH & Radley sure do miss a lot of tackles rushing up in the middle...
Smith: Game 400, but even if it wasn't he's obviously going to go ok.
Cook: Tempting as a POD captain but kind of ruled out because he plays too late to see if there's Brittan on the bench
Haas: Solid. Lower ceiling than the others, but solid.
Probably going to stick with Lolo as I have since he came back from injury, but CS9 seems a more sensible choice this week.

DCE BE is around 80. If he comes back and appears to be kicking goals and scores a general 55ish he will be around 680-690K... That is cheap! He and Arey could be very similar pricings next week. DCE apparently finally back to 100% since his injury so maybe he wasn't kicking goals as he didn't feel 100%.

I really like the look of Moses for the run home - only 3 top 8 teams (Tigers, Sea Eagles, Warriors, Dragons, Knights, Titans, Dogs, Broncos, Sea Eagles) but I might not be able to afford him next week either because my purchase of last gun has been pushed back to next week
Wighton seems a good option for WFB but if you're looking at a HLF I quite like Hunt as a POD who's only 16k more expensive but averaging 53.2 in comparison to 49.1 of Wighton

They almost always do.
The bench will most likely change though.

What would you do?
Without thinking about it extensively, I'd probably plan to trade Mann to a solid half, to play instead of Ponga.
Play To'o for Tedesco.
Cross fingers for no other outs, but you can make final decisions later in the week.
Gives you the option to loop in future weeks with Walters/SJ/other half/etc
EDIT: just noticed Xerri, which would push him to 18th for future weeks. I'd keep him over Mann though. With 7 trades I'd be pretty tempted to trade Xerri to Mitchell though.

Just looking at DCE's stats before his injury he was averaging around 350KM's and 83MG, since his injury that has dropped to 270KM's and 39MG. That equates to a drop from 25 points a game to roughly 16 points a game, add in the loss of goalkicking that is even higher. If DCE really wasn't 100% that shows in his stats as he stopped kicking and running as much. That running also equates to a drop in TB's and so on, so on. If DCE reckons he is back to 100% maybe he picks up that kicking and running again and maybe even goal kicking and gets back to the 55+ average he can get. Hope he shows some of that this weekend because I will be grabbing one of him or Arey next week now that I am holding Martin.

Hoping Brittain comes in if Murray is out.

I think Brittain will probably come onto the bench regardless. Didn't play NSW Cup last week.
The last time he was on the bench he was named in the #22 on TLT

Your trades are all good there fam. Next week you could probably upgrade CNK to any gun you want on your INT bench.

Holding Martin this week actually gives me an extra 20-30 next week for my final gun.

3 trades left, 271k in the bank
Smith
Fifita, Haas
Lolo, Murray, Matterson
SJ, Moses
Bateman, Nikora
CNK, RTS, Teddy
Cook, McInnes, Taupau, Robson
Mann, Carrigan, Ponga, Walters
CNK to Munster is a goer next week but in the meantime is there really anything I can do with such few trades left? My WFB depth is so freaking poor lol, think I'm just going to have to deal with it. Running out of trades early is pretty much my signature style.

Yes, same here. I'm hoping it is enough to bring Cook in. Very tight!
