NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 71 - zero trades left

Don't know how u can hold, guaranteed big points missing every week he is out. U have 2-4 trades left is that why ?

I'm holding. Here's why...

Assuming 2 weeks out, I might get 40pts per week from my 18th man (Siro), then Smith returns and averages 67ish for 6 rounds... that's about 480pts

So 480/8 is 60 points per week minimum to replace him.

But then also have to factor in the replacement players price, and the value of a trade

Which is all too hard for me to comprehend

So I got to "fuck it I'll just keep him".

Plan B: panic and/or get drunk and trade him 5 mins before Storm kickoff.

I am fucked if Talau gets dropped. No centre cover and only 5 trades. I am kicking myself because having cover for each position is always a priority for me but Niu fucked me.

Def not mine. Only played a few trial games for the Newton Jets

Best stories to come from my time back then and any sort of name drop ability was that we were coached by one of the Pethybridge brothers who any old magpie family would know, think it was Rod, maybe. And the infamous Sydney drug lord Michal Ibrahim was a team mate, fair dinkum !

I'd back Bateman to outscore 60 a week from here at the price of 1 trade and 18k

Lock it in if MS approves.

When I briefly considered, Bateman or McInnes were the targets. McInnes more because he was on the radar anyway.

I think Twal and Tevaga could bash out 60s as well for cheaper, but some risk as you need to take a punt on their minutes.

I'd probably feel more inclined to pull the trigger it if I hadn't just wasted two trades. First, removing Koro (unavoidable given info out there, but annoying) and secondly, Randall as a cashout

If Smith is fit, Siro is not in my 17, so would only be cover for 2 weeks. But it's all a house of cards, will probably end up with a bunch of other fires to deal with in 28 mins or so, and I'll wish CS( was my biggest problem.

Gets the MS seal of approval AND I can't afford to bring him in. Pretty much a lock to average 70 in the run home

Gr8 to watch to boot !

Yeah well that's it, need a firetower to spot these days !

It's hilarious how bad I am at this. 2 days I've been convinced holding Smith is The Responsible Thing To Do. One sentence by MS and I'm eyeing off Bateman.

Why miss Smith for 2 weeks, when you can run out of trades early and miss Haas* for 5

* insert expensive player you own here, that cops a season ender the week after you spend your last trade

And here's Captain Sensible to get me back on an even keel

What a rollercoaster the last 15 minutes have been, can't wait for team lists now.
