NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 21 - Cleary (C) Papenhuyzen (VC)

Rabbits21 wrote:Is anyone bringing in Koala?

Strongly considering it. Played 80 (albeit maybe impacted by 2 HIAs), passes the eye test, starting, DPP incoming, scored almost entirely base, and a great draw coming up to get some attacking stats after this week: Dogs, Broncos, Tigers, Titans.

Poor bugger. On a less serious note can anyone imagine what a more spaced out version of Knight would be

If Leniu gets 40, Avo and Niu swap places to get his points, then Avo can probably sit in the EMG for Schuster.  Not really expecting a 40 from Leniu tonight though.  Still unsure on Tino but I liked the look of Alvaro last week.  Long term cash building I think is important, although Tino could score nicely against the Cows.

I'm tossing up the same. Hold Tino or get Alvaro/Koala. Any worry about having 3 bench mids in Leniu, Stefano, and Alvaro?

I'll do it if you will, what's fantasy footy without a bit of unnecessary risk

That's what I'm thinking. I would also have Koala, so Koala and Alvaro would both have to start for a couple of weeks. I don't think that's an issue though this early in the season if they are making money.

Line up this week:

Brailey
Crichton Watson Alvaro
Fifita Riki
Munster Schuster
Momirovski Roberts
Tedesco Papenhuyzen Laurie

Turpin Liddle Leniu Croker
Utoikamanu Simonsson Niu Cleary

Using Papi as the loop for Simonsson/Niu. If Simo does well then just leave it, otherwise swap Uto and Niu. Probably take a 30. Anything less then Niu will come in

Just need to decide on a captain between Angus and Brailey. Got $151k cash for next week. Turpin on watch

I’m also torn:

Time for a question:

TU: bring Koloamatangi in
TD: bring Alvaro in


Hhmmmm MTB has a high opinion of Koloa and he’s usually right maybe I’ll do that but then Alvaro BE so low and if he keeps getting 40 the next 3 weeks that’s just over 100k...

Oh fuck I don’t know......

Would get him if I had the funds, he’s ahead of Alvaro for mine

Rabbits21 wrote:Is anyone bringing in Koala?

I think a lot of people would be if they weren't set on both Alvaro and Schuster.

Anyone who owns Fifita should be captaining this week, he is going to absolutely destroy that edge of Hampton/Dunn/Marsters/Taulagi

Ah feck really?

Yep, strongly considering Fifita.

Might still go Brailey, just for the safety, but he could go big.

Tannah Boyd likely to give good ball to Fifita?

Yeah, just fucking do it.

What did you end up doing bro?  I think I'm going cow instead and going Tino to Alvaro, plus the trade above.

same

Rabbits21 wrote:Is anyone bringing in Koala?

Koalamatangi probably better if you need scoring 17 player consistently but Alvaro better for cash with lower BE

For me Alvaro likely to be 18th man week to week so going to stick with him

I'm in the same boat, but am going Alvaro because he has a lower BE. I would like to see if Koala gets another 80min on the edge.

Our train of thoughts seem to go on the same track haha.

Does that mean you play both?

I will if Schuster is still starting at 5pm tomorrow.

What are your trades this week?

Tino and Lam to Alvaro and Schuster. IPap was very close but think I wana cash grab to save for the returning guns.

Also moving between Fifita and Brailey cap, think I’ll go Fifita

Mulvy wrote:Tannah Boyd likely to give good ball to Fifita?

Yeah played together at School, where the rules were give the ball to the big fast kid

I wouldn't trade someone in just because they have a low BE

In 2 weeks time the BE's of 2 players can change massively. If Alvaro scores poorly this week and Koloa goes big will you still be happy having Alvaro in your team instead of Koloa?

Say it every year, but BEs help you to determine when to trade, not who to trade.
