Round 20 Review, Score 819 Rd rank 40044
Overall Rank 1643 Prev 967
wheels came off, car crash tv, blown a gasket, off the rails, i actually didnt know it was possible to have such a low round rank,
made some mistakes and had some bad luck, and now have a quandry
got over excited and went away from my planned two trades to and jumped the gun and brought in cleary! he was supposed to mean i dint have to play one of montoya or Ofa, but in the end I had to and after montoya's 18, i thought that ofa would be a sure thing to get more than that even in low mins, unfortunatley not the case and I copped his 6,
Wilton injury was annoying, but i think the first one of these ive had all year, unfortunaltely hes a POD so it had a greater impact than say if Manu who is 99% owned by top 1k had gone down.
trade ins, grant, graham excelled, fifita was meh, and cleary DNP. of the players i traded out, tedesco was rested, bula scoired well, but from a game theory point of view he was my least favourite option and i expect his scores to regress again, boyd i already mentioned i slightly prefer robson and tapine i was happy to lose, (murray to come in this week)
full review below, I only have 4 trades left but with talakai dropped to the bench and wilton out injured i will probably have to use two of them,
Grant 62 good performance from harry, did what i wanted him to do, guys a menace, it feels so much better watching storm when you have him in your team
NAS 39 pretty decent score from Nelson, ball didnt find him as much and he was well marked, his score is always dependent on big attacking plays, good to see he was named at edge again this week, most people are jumping off but now hes dual and has such good job security i will hold him, as i dont have spare trades
Hopgood 56 seems to have settled into his 65 minute role, which i'm fine with, hes a bit expensive for what his guaranteed output is, if i had trades up the wazoo i'd flip him to Haas, but i think I hold him. again dual is useful if people get ruled out
Ford 40 lower score for ford after some back to back 50+, but his performance was good and is interesting to see that curran is the one who drops to reserves this week with ford named, he's not a stellar player, just a mid range fantasy player, but wityh wilton needing to be traded out, i will have to hold him, and hope with the warriors good run he keeps up his big mionutes and jags a few attacking stats
Wilton 11 injury, the end of the road for him, disappointing, cest la vie
Fifita 49 even in a quiet game a good score for him, think he looked pretty tired, and now thge air has gone out of the season for the titans i hope he continues his form, but either way ive made my fifita bed and i will lie in it
Sj 82 guy is so good, warriors are so good, i like their draw and i expect him to score well til seasons end,
HYnes 122 (c) the sinbin was pretty lolzy, took theedge of his score, but with him being so hugely captained it is what it is,
Manu 49 decent score from manu, but roosters really didnt look good, i decided to trade out tedesco rather than manu for two reasons, manu has dual and hes so highly owned that it would essentially be anti POdding him, so I opted out of it, not sure hes the best option at ctr for the remainder but i dont have the trades to do anything with him
Talakai 13 problem, poor score, sharks are cooked, and now hes been dropped, i am not sure exactly what i should do, i can see tracey performing well and him not getting back, if he had been named at edge id hold but i am offcially spun, with 4trades remaining i do not know which way to go, I just cant see what his role is off the bench, if anyone has advice shout it
CNK 39 ok score from CNK, hes never gonna be drinkwater, mitchell or walsh, but a try and a try assist and full blooded effort made me happy, i expect him to score like this or better in their remaining games, if he goes above expectation with his attack i'll be loving it, Ive essentially backed him to outscore Bula and Tedesco (traded them both out) so time will tell if that was a pipe dream
Drinkwater 57 he is their attack, he cannot be denied, he's absolutely at peak price, but I'm pleased with him. I see some people thinking about tarding him out, but I'm gonna hold him, cows are on form and he's part of it
Ponga 80 guy is on fire, highly owned, but pleasing, the left attack looks dangerous and his halves are getting him great ball, hopefully he stays on the pitch and keeps doing his thing
Interchange
Simonsson 21 poor score, back to reality for him, looking at tthe draw they have i can see a few of these scores in his future, if i dont have to play him i will try to avoid it, but not enough trades to alter him
Robson 44 it was either robson or boyd and Ive bet on robson to outscore him, time will tell but boyd pipped him this week, encouraging he retains his big minutes, guy is durable
Graham 49 hes my new crossland, a tacklebot hooker cashout, i really hope JMK stays on the sideline and his minutes continue, but we shall see what happens, cashouts never tend to have great job security but wayne must be pleased with him, hes passing the eye test
Ofahengue 6 looped him in instead of montoya, and he sat on the pine for far too long, RCG suspension might increase his minutes but I'm not holding out hope, he did a job from a numbers perspective in bye rounds but hopefully i dont have to select him in my 17 again, parra has so many forwards its redonk
Emergency
Montoya 18, Cleary DNP, Horsburgh DNP, Liddle DNP,
So the plan remains to get Murray to beef up my middle stocks, and now the obvious trade out is Wilton, to facilitate that I need to do a second trade and I had planned to lose liddle, however with talakai under a cloud it would be silly to hold him, i am reluctant to use 3 trades this week as i would then be left with 1, which as last week taught me people can be ruled out at the drop of the hat,
I also have 4 warriors and they have a bye coming up, so yes I am up shit creek
team before trades is as follows
Grant
NAS, Hopgood, Horsburgh
Ford, Fifita
Cleary, Hynes
Manu, Montoya,
CNK, Drinkwater, Ponga,
SJ, Liddle, Robson, Simonsson,
Ofahengue, Talakai, Wilton (inj), Graham (bye)
Future trades,
Wilton out for Murray
and
Talakai out for $514k (suggestions welcomed)
