NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 53 - The round's over. The magic lives on.

Ranked 13k and have 21 trades. Planning to use one to bring in a CTR as I'll have none of mine playing. But otherwise, planning to bank trades and just go super hard between rounds 13 and 18 to see if that can lead to a change of fortunes rather than trying to improve my team now.

I have 21 trades, ranked 2588 and 300K in the bank. Team is set up pretty well and I have 2 centres this week. Currently have 10 R13 players (12 if you include Roberts and sImpkins). Not sure where to go this week. Would like to have 13 for R13 and have Lucy/Macca/Koro in my sights... Not sure who else there is?

I like these ideas. The KP cliffs are great. Boat is a winner.

In news that no one saw coming, Gerard Beale has joined the Dragons.

Anyone need a centre?

19 before the round. Rank 3.5k

Time to max trade this week

Might be rough bringing back in both of Paps and Fifi. But swapping him for To'o looks mighty appealing and leaves some spare cash with his high BE when he's back

I think you could go either way on it. Assuming he's out this round and rd13 he'd want to put up some big scores in the other weeks. If he comes back and scores three 50's, he loses 126k which doesn't mean anything if you're holding, but if trading means you could get back cheaper. I'd lean towards trading unless you've only banked a couple (or less). It also depends on whether the cash from the trade helps your team in a meaningful way. If the cash only allows you to make another borderline trade then maybe not. But you're back three is perfectly adequate if Walsh is starting, which we'll know for certain early in the round. Not really telling you anything you don't know already though, sorry.

21 trades left, ranked 6k, 250k bank.

Had planned Stefano -> Koro this week, but might be able to hold off a week with Koro's BE still pretty high.

Will have to see how many (if any) of Stefano, Leniu, Roberts, Simpkin are named before trading. If none, I'll need to use at least 1 to field 17 with Pap out too.

It's kind of a hidden little gem. The Kangaroo Point one is a great idea too.

19 trades ranked 1196. Would like to save trades so leaning towards playing with 16 for next 2 weeks as CTRs are Bird, Peach and Roberts. But running without cover probably isn't sustainable so maybe I just bite the bullet and bring someone in. Carrying Simo, Uto and Simpkin with 266k itb.

Kris + Cheapy = It's Krispy time

I am liking that but she isnt too keen on hiking on holiday.we are doing some river boat cruise thing, and doing the botanical gardens already. Maybe convice her to go up Mt Cootha.

An alternative could be I just propose at the wedding we are going to and ruin everyones lives at the same time.

17 trades left and 280k itb before trades this week. Rank 2425

Also missing a CTR this week and have Fifita Papi Momo Peachey Stefano and Simpkin as probable red dots

Yolo

Also 18 trades pre trading....

Same number of trades. Got you by 7 ranks and also down a centre. I'm on the slide with 470k so will probably swing hard and see if I connect. Good luck mate

19 trades left 181k itb before trades this week rank 4778.

Likely red dots Peachey, Pap, Simpkin, Uto and Roberts.

Could trade Pap out to Hughes or hold and go Uto to Hynes heck could even go Pap to Hynes to free up funds.

Not sure whether it’s worth bringing in another centre....

Team tracker has been updated if anyone has some advice to stop me from having a 7th straight red arrow again this week.

Not sure whether it’s worth trading in another centre!

20 trades 297k itb. Rank 3.4k

That bank is nice. Still 50/50 on spending a trade on a centre. I think a lot where we are ranked would be similar so running 16 might not be too damaging.

Good luck to you too mate.
