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

1093 and up to rank 1339. Playing with 16 next week because of Peachy and undecided on what to do with Welch and Pappy

Yeah went from 994 points to 1036 but with the same rank.  Might adjust In the morning.

Ah it changed now. Only dropped 75 ranks from last week now.

Nice mate, smashing it.

Final updates take me to 1133. My second highest fantasy score ever. First place is 1144, third place is 1122. How satisfying symmetrical. The fact it came with an 8 from Paps is even more astounding.

Smashing it mate I’m in strife around 3500 places back.

Overall score 9737.

Mate you’ll finish strong just focus on bye rounds now and hold on!

Who’d have thunk Cleary would be nearly averaging 100 after 10 rounds. Absolutely mental

Issue is I do not wanna trade out guys that are keepers and Simo is too cheap to trade, Schuster and S. Walker still seem like they have money to make.

Haas, Cleary, CHN, Teddy, Pap, Tommy T, Angus don’t seem like trade outs.

This leaves Schuster, S. Walker and Simo who is too cheap to sell.

That's the problem with having so many Origin players. I'd always planned to trade Ted out during the byes, but with his value dropped that's less worthwhile. Will be tempted to trade Angus down after Round 12 to whoever can give me bank to make post-13 moves with Watson, Laurie etc (Mahoney or McGuire or NBrown maybe, but will wait on Origin teams). And Simo out to a playing cheapie (eg Ramsay) who then might have to stick around as cover for a while.

Schu, SWalker, CHN are looking like holds until after Origin, all being well, unless you have trades coming out of your ears.

998 with 16 this week. Lost about 500 spots to 1739. Not too disappointed.

Teddy and a centre for this week's shopping list. Unless Roberts returns and contributes a nice 10 or so.

Well it depends who you would trade him to. In WFB most of the quality options are either Origin bound, injured or a good chance of playing Origin like To'o or Latrell so you don't really gain much particularly when Laurie or potentially a starting Walsh can fill Paps WFB spot in your team.

Maybe there's value in trading him to someone in another position though.

Finally got it all together for a round. 1144 thanks to the Chin, took over 2000 off my rank. So so stoked. Thanks to everyone who comments advice on my team tracker each week, I appreciate it!

Here's something spooky... my overall rank is the same as my round rank. Did this happen to someone else recently or am I imagining it?

Was making easy tanks for a change all round.....until that Cleary bomb went off. Fuck me sideways

1044 up 4 places. Was just able to field 17 this week but with curran out and pappy probably out will need to double trade again. Finding it hard to better my team when I'm to busy putting out all my fires.

That is pretty spooky.

Might be wishful thinking but I don't think Peachey is guaranteed a ban, there was a bit of ambiguity there.

Anyone know anything about Chris smith from the dogs. Is he there on merit or injuries ?

Cleary in my fantasy team this year

1119 for the week, my first ever 1100+ score!
1040 for the round and 3651 overall makes for a great week! That was until i looked at my Autofill team......1131 and 619th for the week

The descent continues!

Spoiler:

1048 with Papys 7 and 16 players,can’t be too unhappy with that
