NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 70 - Low-max

Tedesco now 851k, that's becoming hard to ignore.

Only thing I don't want to do is grab him just before he gets given a week off by Robinson.

The Roosters might like to get a bit more safer in the top 4 before resting him though, so probably still a good time to grab him.

I want about 4 different players right now so its a tough decision.

Love your work MTB

Randall being in 71% of the top 1000 is surprising. Wonder how many would have brought him in if his break even was 60 instead of -20? How much cash he makes is really pretty irrelevant with most not having the trades to get him back out

For me it was Randall or Starling, and Randall seemed to have the more secure role, and was slightly cheaper. Points output was hard to quantify because Randall's only game was an outlier, but it seemed like he would be OK for 40 points a week - for a cash out acting as an 18th man/loop option it looked perfectly acceptable

There is a small but non-zero chance that he'd get traded out again later, so cash generation was a factor, albeit not an important one. Starling was somewhat similar in that regard anyway so didn't influence decision that much.

Has Sonny Bill signed yet?

Leutele to Storm was another one that seemed likely to happen.

My dilemma also. Currently have Tedesco, Bateman, McInnes, DFifi and Moses/Munster in my very interested list and probably in that order.

Came out today that this was going ahead.

Yeah pretty much the same hitlist for me, add Cook as well.

Tempted to jump on Dfifi straight up. Big game this week and it seemed like they gave him the extra week's rest so he should be good to go.

Obviously I can't get them all and with 8 games to go, want to avoid someone who gets rested. Bateman/Dfifita are probably least risky options there, doubt Mcinnes has a rest either.. Teddy/Moses/Munster would be prime candidates to get a week off.

The obvious concern with Fifita is whether he gets benched when Glenn is fit.. given he won't be there next year, but the coach has a job to save so I doubt he's thinking about anything other than trying to win games.

Looks like Matterson, Murray and Moses are my real PODs now. Herbie too if he gets dpp and I play him over Talau or Wiliame if he gets a run.

Moses going to be a popular trade in this week - wouldn't count on him being too PODdy

Only thing that matters is whether you buy them this week or next week.

Becomes a points vs cash trade off is money is tight

Bloody hell I’m less than 10k short again of the keeper 2RFs I want for Fogarty (can afford up to 749k in one trade with D Fifita 754k, Twal 756k, Jurbo 759k)

8 trades left and 558k ITB.

Option 1: KOD to David Fifita (Bench: Carrigan, Pearce, Leilua, Randall/Starling/Luai)
Option 2: Luai to Moses, Leilua to Bateman (Bench: Carrigan, Moses, Pearce, Randall/Starling) + 346k ITB for upgrading one of Randall/Starling in a couple of weeks.

Yeah very similar for me as well. Need to decide this week whether to go for a Bateman/Fifita/Lolo or Teddy. Teddy being rested was my main concern as well. Going to be a tricky week

Yeah I'm jumping on Dfifi straight up. I'm 11k short on trading Bateman in for Fogarty. 1k short on getting Taumalolo... it must be a sign.

To some point I believe in coaches being salty at their players for leaving but I don't think it bares on their mind when it comes to winning games. They want their best side on the field as much as possible and Dfifi is an 80 minutes second rower who can put up a winning play at any point in the game. I think Glenn waltzes straight onto the other edge and TPJ is moved into the prop rotations again. I am very tempted to take the gamble on Dfifi. He has the ability to run the field on a break, break tackles with ease and is very sound defensively at 750K he is probably one of the cheapest that can average 55+. There run home is shit though.

Norman > Moses
Butcher > Anyone under 871k

Tempted by Twal at his price for sure.

Bateman obviously a big POD option

I get the temptation to upgrade but if Butcher starts in the second row again i see no reason to trade this week.

I say this as Im considering upgrading Lucy...
