NRL Fantasy 2021 Part 60 - Twas the night before origin team lists, and .....

So not playing this round I have:

Cleary
Teddy
Tohu
Averillo
Schuster
Starling
Walsh
Pap (maybe)
Lucy (maybe)
Simpkin (maybe)

At this stage I'm thinking Pap + Starling to Macca + TPJ & trade Simpkin to whoever if not named.

Could also get Peachey instead of TPJ & do Stefano to Burton too which is somewhat tempting.

I mean,  I expected Friz out this week anyway with origin.  But yeah very marginal trade at absolute best.  Don't mind the Verills trade if nothing else shows up,  how's he tracking?

3-8 week injury though! No news from the rorters, still r14-16. No other base price player seems appetising, I've got 19 playable men so happy to trade one of Simpkin/Leniu to a dot for a couple weeks anyway. I've got 222k ITB beging to be used to bring in Harris and CHN R14.

Ben Hunt as a nice POD option with DPP for R13?

Has had some bad scores in him this year. Two scores below 40 and an atrocious 18 in 80 minutes in Round 8. However besides those sub 40 scores, his lowest score has been 64.  

I was expecting him to make the Origin team so he's suddenly become an available option. I had been considering McCullough but Hunt covers two positions which is looking like a huge upside this season.

13 players. Would have been 14 if Mahoney wasn't called up for origin. Considering no trades. Team list for the week

J.Brailey
Alvaro, JFH, Twal
Ipap, x
Hynes, x
Peachey, Bird
Laurie, Talau, x

Macca, Cheese, Watson, x
x, x, x, x

Just quietly, Beale scored 50, CTR/WFB & still cheap. Could probably do worse if you need a cash out this round.

Are Peachy and Gamble finished their suspensions this week.

Brailey
Watson
Matterson, TPJ
Moses, Hunt
Roberts, Bird
Laurie, Hynes

Fogarty, *Simpkin

Well it's not a great amount but hopefully there's a fair few people ahead of me who put less thought into the bye round.

Feels a bit weak actually.

Not really I have

Brailey, Watson, TPJ, Moses, Bird, S. Crichton, Macca, Hynes, Laurie, Peachey, Alvaro, Roberts

Haas, CHN, Schuster, Cleary, Teddy, Walsh, Tommy T, Angus, Simo.

So 12 guys 11 if you don’t include Jet.

Is it worth trading out Simo to A. Kelly or is that silly? Would make me cash but then down to 14 trades and only 3 round 17 guys in CHN, Schuster and Walsh.

Re R14 as well if Teddy and Tommy T were rested along with Walsh being out I’d just have S. Crichton and Laurie at WFB.

Just had a quick look and tbh, pending TLT, there aren't that many R13 trade ins that are floating my boat and/or don't compromise my ability to get Fifita and Tohu in post 13.

Might change my mind as the week floats on but I am disinclined to trade out origin players (including Haas) given I have had to double trade to get 17 the last 3 weeks.

I am leaning towards thinking that anyone regularly scoring 50+ (or even 40+) should probs stay in my team until I have the funds to upgrade them properly (i.e. after R17)

looks like I'll be able to quadruple l**p this week

Matto

See what TLT brings, but Starling + Pap out at this stage.

Yea I think they're free to play this round

Some unexpected rd13 options:

Matterson at $643k
Ben Hunt at $669k

So is it only your starting 13 who count this week or if you can field 17 do you get 17 players scores like normal?

Is anyone who doesn’t have Averillo looking to bring him in for round 14? He looks close to a must have R17 gun and there are not many of them?

Priced at 592k R14 probs the last week to jump on!
