NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 16 - To Milf or Not to Milf, that is the question?

He’s worth a punt but that Boys backline can change at anytime. Decent score against panthers without a single attacking stat minus TOs. Watchlist

With no Crichton or Cleary, is Jayden Brailey a captain option for anyone this week? Can't decide out of Fafita or Teddy and might be chasing points but Brailey is in the mix, should he be?

No he isn’t! Fifita or Teddy

Definitely more punt relevant than Fantasy

What's the general consensus on Alvaro vs Fuimoana? Fui named again, is he still a trap?

Alvaro is a PPM beast but Fui base stats were tidy... looking for some direction from the pros!

For me, the rest of this season will be about getting established fantasy guns, or good players who could become guns. For cash generation, the main factor will be the eye test and minutes over other normal fantasy considerations (for better or for worse).  I'm sick of having guys like Croker in my team simply because of his role when I was one of the biggest advocates for NOT starting with him. I couldn't help myself and now I have to pay. 

With that in mind, and a situation on the bench at Manly very reminiscent of last year when he had a 23 average (5 70+ minute performances with a high of 35), I'm trading him out. 

My trades this week are (with no cash ITB):

Lodge + Croker > Leniu + Alvaro + 39k

Someone like him who seems a likely candidate for low scores would be hard to bring in unless some sort of consistency was showing. U make it sound inevitable?

feel the same way. kicking myself for picking Croker. only consolation is he's not likely to lose a heap of cash, so can wait until the next cow comes along...

What does everyone think about
Ofahenguae and Alvaro
Davey and Koloamatangi 
Davey and Leniu 

Thoughts on which one you guys would go with and why.
I thought it was a pretty solid TLT

Thinking about going Dfafita for captain this week.
He got 60 with not doing much last week after spending days in the hospital,
Has riki Milford and Nui against he’s side this week(tackle breaks) plus vs
He’s old team, could be in for a big game. Anyone wanna roll the dice with me?
P.s I don’t have Cleary is why.

Think I've settled on Croker and Lodge for Davey and Leniu.
Now to another conundrum, Moylan Vs Raiders or Laurie Vs Roosters for last WFB spot?

(1) Lam + Utoikamanu & 1 less trade
(2) Ofahengaue + loop (Mead/Utoikamanu) & 1 more trade used

Probably have them at 40 + 30 VS 45 + 30 - better to hold Lam right??

option 1 all day and twice on Sundays. Lam could come good

Leniu, Jensen, Alvaro, kamikamika, koloa
Could just about throw a blanket over them.
Actually more interested in Stefano now with that bench.
If it was for an 18th man anyway, wondering if I just buy a fifth centre in Momo.
You can’t have too many centres, right? Right?

I think I'm falling for Latrap

Who are your other WFB?
Tedesco,Laurie,Pappy seems fairly popular here?
Assuming so does that mean Laurie to 14-17 which isn’t as clear cut vs say a 40pt forward

Well if you grab momo at least you are hedging your bets a bit.
Nothing worse than not having clear options to play
At a guess Bird/Roberts/Niu/Averillo ?
So probably Bird+Mono with the rest NPR?

Anyone bringing in BSiro (concussion clearance permitting)?

I didn't see the Warriors game but saw the talk that he was defending in the middle for a bit. Guess there is no reason to expect that would change if that was the plan Rd 1? Guessing BMM came on and played edge? Makes him pretty appealing
