NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 43 - Another one bites the dust

Depends a lot on team balance when things (hopefully) normalise next week. All things being equal, Katoa is playing great and if only out a week wouldn't want to sell him. Will start putting out good 60+ minute performances again soon enough and likely continue to outscore Papy (9 point average ahead despite being impacted by injury this week).

If you want my opinion, Katoa and Pappy are holds if you can manage it, and borderline keepers the way things are going, and Flanno is not a top tier gun, not sure what tier he is on actually.

Regardless of position, how many other guys under $700k have a 55 average? Makes a good back up to 2 of the big 3 halves, that you are able to play in your 14-17 each week. 3 scores in 60s since the restart in a team that is demolishing even other decent teams. For value in 14-17, not sure there is much better out there if you already have guys like Mofo at the same price point.

Its a 20 point a week upgrade on Papy for $160k.

Hmm, Flannagan has been under the radar for me. He won't necessarily keep scoring tries three weeks in a row. Or kick nine goals, or seven goals against the Broncos and Bulldogs all the time. But gee his KMs are up there about 270 per game (about 100 more than Keary) and Goal kicking half in the comps best team. Hmmmm. A solid tier 2 I'd say.

Yeah just did some analysis, see below. He's a decent shout. Of course the difference with Pappy is that he's available at WFB. There is only two top tier WFB, Teddy and Ponga. Which means someone needs to be WFB3 and it might as well be Pappy the way trades are going (if you have him already). I don't buy that his scoring is that shit. The nature of the position is that you can get a bad run of scores, followed by a run of good ones. His scoring isn't Dedwards-esque ala 2019. A big one is coming. He plays for one of the better teams in the comp, his position is pretty secure, he has a heart beat. Warriors this week. He's a hold imo.

So I have Tedesco and Pap and need to trade Isaako out while having no WFB cover.

Should I cash Isaako out. Which means I play 16 this week and hopefully bring Ponga in next week.

Turn Isaako to Edwards/RTS/Nofo and settle?

Panthers have a great draw for the rest of the season:
Souths
Tigers
Sharks
Cowboys
Titans
Manly (still missing Turbo and Walker)
Raiders
Warriors
Sharks
Tigers
Broncos
Eels
Cowboys
Bulldogs

If they play decently should win a huge number of them and many by a decent amount, happy having 4 of them in my team.

So has Clark been dropped then?

My team includes the following superstars:

SCrichton
Averillo
HTF
Paix
Kennedy
Luai

As well as worldbeaters Drinkwater, Mann, Pappy and Lomax.

Somehow my ranking has improved week on week since the resumption. I'm mystified.

JTurbo quite a bit cheaper than Matto

We can’t all afford keepers like him as we haven’t generated enough cash.

The cows have been mainly duds with poor job security and squad depth is important.

Even if I wanted to I can’t got someone like Katoa to a Jake Turbo or even Murray as I simply don’t have the cash.

anyone know why sione mata'utia is barely spoken about considering he's one of the best options at centre

Due to history of concussions.

People are scared of his HIA history plus he's priced around his average already.

Definitely a good player though
