NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 68 - Buy high, sell injured

Highly doubt it and I'm an owner. I was expecting him to play 50 mins when I bought him last week. Lowe was in that position beforehand and got subbed off most weeks. I'm hoping he gets 60 mins.

From R5 Lowe was playing 80 every week until he got injured

So you think he'll play 80?

Haha definitely a typo

Got him last week mate, would like 60/65 to help with scoring consistency, but he looks like a 50 minute man in a current set up. Slight regret getting him last week, hopefully I’m wrong

Lowe had been getting 80 minutes on the field until the most recent game. True he may have 'played 'for less., a lot of decoy running involved.

Lowe played 80 mins from round 5-9

Lol never mind then. Maybe I was only thinking of round 10 when he played 60 mins

with my team slipping down the rankings and trades dissapearing im going Johnson and Tevaga for Fermor and McCulough this week

Surely one of your recent trade ins has to come good

Not all been bad mate. McInnes early, Hunt, JTurbo, Fotu all been good for me. Milf the real clanger, was always risk reward but I’m wearing that. No biggie

Hopefully Sironen plays 80 then. Last week was the first time he's played 80 in first grade so I'm not expecting him to, but it would be nice.

I think it’s more likely Sua play 80 and Siro. 60/65. Different player so could be different roles, point was regardless was Lowe was doing doesn’t mean Siro will/will not have the same role. Case last week when the CTR Johns played 2RF as you well know haha

Was all set on bringing in Twal and Randall. Gives me FRF coverage and 400k ITB for upgrades to Randall and Starling down the track (both in my 17). But thinking I just run with the tested Murray + Jurbo, no cash for upgrades but only Starling needing an upgrade (after he and Siro peak in 5 or so weeks). Far less coverage (in fact none in FRF, CTR or HLF ), but means I am not taking a chance on a rookie hooker who could be gone if Crossland explodes and since I only have 5 trades for injuries I can’t afford not to bring in bonafide guns. Serious FOMO on Randall though.

I think now, I can finally stop trading (injuries aside)

McInnes
Haas Carrigan
Yeo Jurbo Murray
Cleary Hunt
Lomax Talau
Teddy Ponga Pappy
Grant Tevaga Crichton Starling
Sironen HTF Niu Wiliame

My lack of coverage is so unsettling.

Grant
Haas MoFo
Jazz Carrigan RFM
Cleary Hunt
Lomax Talau
Pap Ted Ponga
Johnson Starling Luai (Lolo/cook/other)
Api HTF Avo Niu

Will go Luai to Moses next week and maybe Api upgrade if still out with starling to 18th man. Thoughts appreciated, I’m going round in circles. 6 trades left before this one.

I think Lolo, or at least a 2RF, is better for your team balance than Cook

Johns dropped this week

Unfortunately with the Bunnies bench, I think Sironen is still backup centre

Did you keep Milf? The Boyd/Milford/Dearden set-up probably suits his fantasy scoring better if he finds any form at all.

After trading Macca I would have 883k. Who do we think would be the best option out of Smith, Lolo and Twal. Position doesn't matter as I have enough coverage.

Current Team is
Grant
Haas MoFo
Matto Yeo Tevaga
Cleary Pearce
Niu (loop) Lomax
Pap Ponga Teddy
Carrigan Macca Hunt Siro
Havili Talau McIntyre SCrichton

Looked like he copped a knock towards end of game potentially waiting on fitness.

Yea it’s what I was waiting for mate but he’s gone for Moses this week.

Yeah i had some recency bias on Milf. Worth a throw though, still could have a couple of big games, just hard to pick when.

Is anyone else bringing in Randall to play in their 17? I am doing it, and just hope he can plug away at some 40's and make some good coin.
