NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 80, Oh Aubbs, we hardly knew ye

Fraser wrote:I think I'm settled in bringing in Taupau for Lolo this week. It means I can go Butcher to Haas in a single trade next week which would then leave me with the following for the run home with 3 trades left.

Cook
Haas MoFo
McInnes Carrigan Yeo
Cleary DCE
Manu Crichton
Teddy Ponga Papy

Taupau Fogarty RTS Starling

Sironen Randall HTF Niu


Plan would then be to upgrade/cashout Starling/Sironen with 2 rounds to go and have 1 trade left for injury going into the final round.

Seems fool proof, right?

I really want to sell HTF and keep Randall on the the off chance the latter makes an appearance through injury

What are you expecting from Taupau for the last few weeks? Just doesn't seem to be hitting those consistent highs this year.

Forced trade (injury/dropping/compassionate leave): 19 trades (13 injuries, 2 leave, 4 dropping)
Trading perceived peaked cow/upgrade to gun: 8 trades
Luxury trade (trading fit player still scoring well): 3 trades

Trading lolo and playing with 15 this week leaving me with 1 trade and hoping haas mofo Koro and maybe even sione can make an appearance soon

As a knights fan and a Pearce, ponga owner I’m sad Lino is starting. Not good enough. Play Mann or pheonix there and give Randall the bench hooker spot. O’Brien has done a lot right this year but his handling of Randall will mean people in our reserves are likely to want to move on as they don’t get given chances even 4-5 injuries deep

One could argue that he is giving Mason Lino a chance and can use the 4-5 injuries deep argument with Lino as well.

I would give benefit of doubt to the coach in this instance.

Its more his price point than anything else allowing me to upgrade Butcher in 1 trade next week.
Do you think there is anyone else that might be a cheaper FRF that's final 17 worthy?

I have both, unless the injury is to Mann, I expect HTF to get a run and Randall not to the rest of the season.
