NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 2 - What's the magic number ?

Pretty much. He's cheaper than Doeihi though. And I keep having visions of defences double-teaming Kikau, Burton cut out to JAC, JAC down the side-line, JAC passes inside to Burton backing up, TRY!

Cheaper, but averages 12 points less based on five-eigth scoring for current clubs in same roles last year. (50 vs 62)

Burtons legacy 5/8 average is 53. Douiehi is 61

I wouldn't argue with Doueihi and Burton, but I am likely to start Cleary and Burton with Boyd and TMM as my backups.

Not to mention better service from dummy-half

For my thinking if I was picking between the 2 I would have to go with the stats which back up a higher scoring average over the hope some new surroundings will improve the scoring average.

I'm really surprised the current ownership is that low, it's not like the sample size is really small either, has played 22 games (2021 + 2022) for a 62 average at 5/8. priced at 53?

Can also use same basis for Burton improvement to Doueihi with improved supporting cast. But I'm just using that to hope he can maintain that 60+ average instead, anything else is a bonus

I'm actually tossing up Burton on my bench. Currently have Cleary and Hynes with Doohicky. But Burton over Hynes means i can propely upgrade elsewhere

Wow, that is heavy artillery in the halves mate.

I am only interested in H2H so Hynes will come in late season.

I think most people are budgeting down to Burton as reasonably comparable to Doueihi, but freeing up 55k, I think there is a lot of upside for Doueihi, but I too feel he is just a bit pricey for $ making purposes elsewhere in my team.

You could be on to a winner.

I currently have Meaney penciled in but keeping my options open in the FB spaces.

Welshy wrote:

Understand hes $53k cheaper, so that's around 4 points of value. Burton has to average 54 to even the price imbalance, just around his legacy 5/8 average.

This is still 8 points below AD and his 5/8 average. The reason I'm so high on AD is his KM base. It's no where near the elite half options numbers, and he is still well up there in scoring average across a decent sample size (20+ games)

Burtons improvements will have to come in addtional personal or team attacking points because he already kicks the piss out of the ball

Dogs are Burton's team now. Wests, it seems, are Brooks's team. Dogs are also likely to be a better team than Wests, partly because of that.

That's fine and was the case last year for Burton and always been the previous for Brooks....Hasn't effected AD scoring average when playing 5/8 though?

I really don't understand the fanfare for Burton auto adjusting his scoring because the dogs will better. Just doesn't always work out like that? I mean it might

But, AD has the average, playing with Brooks and playing in a fairly horrocious Tigers side, who are also slated to improve with thier own addtions?

Bare minimum. AD is priced 8 points below his legacy average at 5/8th to start the season. That's the only point i'm really looking at
