NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 11 - The case of the mistrusted team lists

Others would be Cheese or Eutcher but I think in my situation that's not sideways, it's backwards. Plus Cheese affects team balance a bit too much.

I'm 99% sure I'm not doing this, just thought it was interesting in the context of a lot of stuff flying around right now. He costs 50k more, so will likely make 50k less than Loiero in the future. And that 50k can be used to make another move that is better for points and cash.

Given the confusion around there being multiple Kar-toas, i think it makes sense to refer to the Melbourne player as Ford as well

Anyone who watched ALL the games able to quantify/estimate how many starting edges were then shifted into the middle after say 20 minutes...
There seems to be a lot of (particularly Podcast) theory about player X starting on the edge and playing there for 20 minutes before moving into the middle so that player Y can come on and see out the game at edge.

Generally, I'm pretty dismissive of those theories, but curious as to how often this happens?
I guess it's probably only those that maybe end up with 60 minutes (looking at RFM)

Another way I'm thinking about this

2 extra trades
Vs
150k cash (and the additional opportunities that'll bring for more cash gen) and let's say 50 points

What is more valuable at say R20 on the home stretch?

Probably too hard to answer without making some heroic predictions about the future.

TL;DR fantasy is hard man

Well I'm convinced. IKatoa to BMM locked in. Let's go Dragons

Now to decide on Talau to Hammer or Thompson

42 tackles is the most he's ever made (only the second time he's gone past 40), and while that could be an outlier, I thought he looked much more involved/hungry in defense.
The attack will come, but he still racked up over 110MG.
I think he has a higher ceiling that Loiero, and probably ends with a higher average, so maybe makes the same money.

If this is to enable the Carty trade, then are you essentially using two trades just to enable Carty as an option (when for most of us he's a fairly tenuous gamble to use one trade)?

Is Carty that worth that? would BMM do a similar job (or get close enough to similar money  e.g. one trade to make say $100k vs two trades to make $150k just as an example)

Now watch him get benched for Couchman before kickoff
Seems like much better discussions today than some in recent history
Watching from the fence it was worth buying tickets into this one

Yet again out of trades wrote:Is cheese to Mahoney sideways ?

It’s not so scary in here after all, more fun than watching that’s for sure

Maybe Standard Issue can give me some eyes on my avatar soon

Cheers, really helpful response.

The last page BMM talk made me think - while not necessarly all-in on BMM - that two trades for Carty was a bit silly. This is confirming it. Although still don't think it's the silliest thing I've seen here this week...
