H2h determines how you go in your league. Overall score determines which league you're in.

Id say Mofo but you already have him, going Macca/Horse has mid range stick potential and costing another trade. Horse I like especially with no Bateman now but Sticky worries me. Tapine is flying atm but not sure he has much left in him. I’d either go cashie and build money or Horsey

What do you mean here by Sticky worries you?

Rotating players, roles, minutes

Horsey 60 minutes lock yes. Horsey 50 minutes lock on fence

Lock out will lift the second i close my eyes, hey?

DCE, Moses talked about. What about Georgie Williams, probably doesn’t get the bulk KM needed to match but what a player eh

3616 to be exact mate, what about you?

I only have 112k spare currently though so don’t have the luxury of bringing in a Cook or Teddy for examples this week.

I’m trying to look at the value buys on players who could be cut priced keepers which is why I bought in MoFo this week just gone and took the gamble on Capewell at centre. My next gamble as of right now looks like it could be McCullough who comes in next.

If Teddy wasn’t out last week I’d have bought him in over Ponga. Can’t have Teddy now but that’s aye ok.

3615.

361k in bank but need a CTR and if Mann, Luai injured a HLF too. So not as flexible as I’d hoped

I was super sceptical pre-season, happily admit I’m wrong. Great player.

Very confused why GB/Eng have picked Austin, Hastings ahead of him.

I can see why you think you need to trade out Brailey but honestly I think banking a trade and putting Katoa in for Brailey back to NPR, then getting paix for whichever works best for you. 

I haven't done the Math but does Macca earn much more cash than Brailey if they both score on there average?

Mate I read this week though that Kearney wants to ease Katoa into first grade so with Burr back this week Katoa could see less minutes and be on the interchange.

I feel like Ive been dudded in fantasy to start the year. Having to trade out Watkins, Aubbs, Shibasaki has been tough. Not to mention Williame, Mann and Luai picking up injuries this round. Not too worried about being ranked 5k. I know I've been making smart trades I just need a bit of luck to get back some points

This week for trades I will be looking to downgrade Mann or Luai and upgrade Brailey to a keeper. All dependant on TLT and injury reports.

Whats your strategy for the upcoming rounds?

Tapine a good example of said Stickiness last year with minutes/role.

Highest I've been ranked this year is 10000th! Slipped back to 15000th this week. A couple of PODs that haven't paid off. I think I'm just going all out now.

Yep. I'm trading hard and fast from now. Get my best 17 asap and hold on for the ride.

Solid

Fantasy this year has been super grim so far. Worst start in years!

After round 2 I was ranked 20,268th, after R3 I was 13,327 and now I am 7,595. So, I'm heading in the right direction !!

Scored 966 this week.

Yeah, noticed you back there with me last week in the Fanatics League.

Same here mate, bad news for me is I don;t have Byes to rely on to make my usual climb.

Looks like I have moved up there from 198th to 144th. A pretty big jump in one week !

I've had a pretty zigzag start. Rd1 my rank was 1326, then down to 7433, then back up to 1480, now back down to 3979.

At this point, I'm going guns blazing with trades, because I can't just sit around with the same few nuffs and lose out on getting undervalued guns before they get unaffordable. That's why I got Fotuaika this week and that's why I'm going all out on Turbo next week. This aggressive strategy worked very well for me last year, I got Wighton and Papalii in before anyone else saw value in them, and I reaped the rewards. That said, it has blown up in my face before (buying Hughes after round 1, buying S Crichton instead of Best, selling Xerri to buy Burns back last year etc.)
