NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 62 - Tigers a top 8 team (for R17)

People have a lot of trades, feels like the extra 4 has actually made people more conservative.

Don’t recall so many people with 8+ trades post Origin previously

Part of it may also be that there seems to have been a lot less carnage to Fantasy relevant players this year - not a lot of injuries, suspensions are out of fashion again, etc

Does this plan make sense/seem reasonable?

This week trades:

Ming + Tago

To

Pappy, pole

Leaves me with 11 rd 17 players. 7 trades and $329 itb.

Next week, assuming no injuries and droppings etc.

Trades will be.

Penis + Jing

To

cook + someone around $480k

That will leave me for run home. With 5 trades (not including the +4)

Cook
Matterson, Elliot, Barnett
Ipap, angus
Cleary, dce
Aitken, koula
Pappy, hynes, May

Robson, Mahoney, Mam, savage


480k , Pole, Leo, volkman


14 onwards is weak, but with 9 trades to use between rd 17 and finish. There should be opportunities to build on them.

This seem cromulent?

As a consequence of holding Haas & Cotter, plus being low on trades, am looking at 2nd tier guns and the likes of Mitchell

Hosking probably gets one game, maybe two, and is never seen again. He should score reasonably well this week though.

Related but Piakura is extremely unlucky with injury. Every time a spot opens up for him he seems to pick up a minor injury. Copped a HIA last weekend in Q Cup and ruled unavailable this weekend... would have started (with Robati also getting injured), but instead it is Hosking that gets the opportunity.

I was wondering why Piakura was nowhere to be seen, poor bastard.

I'm kinda liking both Palasia and King Hoss as cashouts that could score well. I've done alright on Broncs cashouts over the origin period in past. Bit sceptical of FU on a Pole and not sure if Moale's stocks rose at all.

You’re probably right.

I might have missed it, but any reason Cartwright and Lewis aren't options? Or just an oversight?

Total oversight on my part sorry. Don't really have any info on those guys, so would be good if others do?

I messaged FanHub and asked what their process is for adding players to the system. Pole was added mid round last week and so I couldn’t cash out Billy Smith to him to facilitate my other trades as my targets played in the first couple of games. Ended up having to cash Koula to Kennedy instead which I’m a bit gutted about.

Extra annoying that he went well and I’m not getting him at base price this week.

The response from FanHub “it’s all fine because he is in the system now”

I suspect their support team don’t actually play the game or understand how it works…

They said on TL podcast some field near the venue was a pool. Is Latrell a wet track bully?

P.S. people on Discord are whining about footystats BEs not up to date

Thinking about putting together a list of things less relevant than BEs at this point of the season.

My first reaction was of course to perform an interpretive dance of irrelevance as a direct comparison, but that would end up being interesting for my co-workers and defeat the point.

So I thought I'd stay fantasy linked and present "Fantasy players with equivalent relevance to the concept of a break-even in round 17", redux

Garner with a lazy 50, might be a good option for the paupers without Burton/Aitken combo.

The TL podcast run a good show, but their knowledge/skill (whilst improving due to brute force) isn't great.

I've added him as my 4th WFB for Keary this week

Hearing AJ will play despite the quad strain.
