NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 20 - Who needs halves ???

If you have Alvaro, could be a great buy as well. Going under the radar because he is more expensive. If Alvaro wasnt there, would be much more interest in him.

Fifita makes the best halves a turnstyle, just spun Milf even quicker than usual.

Croft is absolute horseshit, Milf no matter how bad his D can sometimes be is a good footballer when he's on and Kevy knows that, just about returning him to form. His effort in that second half was embarrassing though and I'd be pulling him for a head slap personally

Definitely interesting, but awkward price. I'd prefer Alvaro and Koala, both for cheaper prices and (probable) similar scoring.

Started with Alvaro. I was a sucker for Merrin in the past but managed to avoid last season. Don't see how Merrin doesn't get min 40 mins in that pack

Toovey is hilarious

If I can downgrade milf to juju smith-schuster and have enough bank to upgrade lam to keary, is there any glaring reason not to? Keary seems like a cut price keeper this year

Seriously want to ditch Turpin. At best he probably averages 50pts next 3. Drop to 45pts and projected 20k gain. Got to move on the duds and generate cash

I think he would be a great POD that very few get onto. His attacking upside should see him score more than Alvaro with similar minutes.

Is Ofa to James a luxury trade?

No hard feelings, just spicing it up in case Quicksand drops in

Tentative excuse anyway.

Did you start with Ofa?

Tis, but proceed anyway ?;

Yep.

James or Merrin would be good.

Merrin cheaper so maybe him

The benefit seems to be both points and money at expense of one trade

I would be trading Milf out ahead of Lam. Lam has shown that even in quiet games, his base is around 30 points and had just 1 missed tackle in the 2 games. Milf has missed 12 tackles in 2 games and his position is under threat in the side after a shocker from him last week. If Dearden had been on the bench he would have been subbed for sure.

The only issue is he plays the bulldogs this week. Could be a Lam to Schuster this week and a Milf to SOS in the next 1-2.

James is looking like he is in the form he was in when he scored 12 tries in a season.
Looking like they will get similar minutes, would back James to get a lot more points.
Doubt James is a keeper though, will need to trade him out again

Milfs not great, but croft has been worse.

Fantasy aside feel bloody sorry for Andrew Davey after seeing his Instagram post. Poor bloke.

I was devastated for the dude when it happened. You get some questionable characters in your team at times in the world of Fantasy, but I felt a bit warm inside when I brought Davey in as he seems like a good fella and I loved his story. Was really looking forward to taking the journey with him, and picking up some sweet points along the way. Made me really sad what went down last weekend. Poor fella.  

I tried to look up his Instagram post but there's 9000 Andrew Davey's on there. What was the gist of it?

Got Alvaro? Cheaper and potentially matches points
