NRL Fantasy 2020 Part 85 - Who's being rested

Everyone tends to over rate their players. We saw Ben Hunt owners today basically begging for Brittain to be rested.

I do own Ben Hunt but I was begging for Brittain to be rested because for his own well-being after multiple failed HIAs

Randall probably more chance of playing less minutes than Crossland this week than starting again next week. But I guess stranger things have happened.

Worth noting while Mann at hooker “hasn’t been working” their only two losses with Mann at hooker are with Randall in the team lol

Wonder if Hunt plays 80 or if he still gets a rest.

Need a CTR and a WFB to get a 17 together this week.

Think I’m going to punt on Manu and Brimson aka the young guns with my last two trades! What an amazing world

If you've run out of trades in Round 14 and have spuds like Kenny and Randall in your 21 then no doubt you need a bit of magical thinking to see you through.

Peachy, Lomax, ?
Ponga, ?, ?

Peachey, Lomax, Manu? Staggs?
Ponga, RTS? Edwards? Gutherson? Dufty?

If this kid on the bench is a pure centre then I'd guess he'll spell Aitken who is leaving at the end of the year?
McInnes could still go to rake to spell Hunt though.

Not like coaches haven't played the back 5 out of position to cover hooker in recent times though.

Wouldn't be amazed if it's Manu's turn to get rested next week, but if it's for one week only it's a decent shout. Didn't he ton up as a fullback last year?

Dragons have played with 16 a couple of times recently. Feagai might miss the whole game (maybe a few minutes at the end so he actually get a debut)

Milchy (6 red dots) vs Mulvy (5 red dots) in the mods league prelim main event.

Haven’t had trades for a few weeks some how avoided all the damage! Halved my rank.

Yeah I think he got in the 90s on that occasion. Scored a 58 this year, when Teddy was rested/injured.

That’s what I’m banking on really, a decent score from fullback for the week

Is Turbo playing?

Is it worth trading Haas to McInnes if it effectively means McInnes over Starling this week but no Haas next week?

I might take a punt on To’o. Been scoring well and hopefully keeps it going

There’s a lot of carnage out there. This seems like sideways asking for trouble.

I'm thinking sideways is probably ok when it's trading out a 73.3 average for a 73.3 average.

Should mean an extra 25-30 points this week. Worst case next week is that a bunch of players are out and I can only deal with one of them with my last trade.

Brimson or To’o is tougher than I thought. The DPP on Brimson probably tips it in his favour and I can delay the trade a little longer
