NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 20 - Kaufusi + 4 weeks = Null SQ

my tv broke wrote:Doueihi to Wakeham instead of SJ/Reynolds/etc is a pretty interesting idea, extremely risky. Might be a nice ride though and allow for grabbing Hynes in a few weeks time after Sharks bye.

That is something haha
Wakeham + Hynes

Vs

Reynolds + boyd

Guess you can captain Hynes too and not everyone will have a mill to bring in him after a captain banner score

I was put off Perham, not chiefly by trial form, but by his previous NSW Cup and first grade stats.

Just seemed he was every chance of being a Brad Abbey type player rather than someone you'd want.

Similarly for TMM - the stats that would have justified him for me were from 2017, and it just looked like too much of a risk.

Of course I ended up taking worse options in Talau/BMM but shit happens hey

I prefer Perham to Sloan but it’s probably closer due to price difference
Perham feels more playable and relies on less big plays/tries. Gut feeling
Then you have a warbrick who you already probably own so how many points is this upgrade

Probably won’t know the answer for a few more weeks, potentially another 150k still left in the tank on those wfb and buy you time to fix the rest of the team
Chances are you end up playing a dodgy 17th man or warbrick regardless here short term
Or do you grab a Wakeham/Ford/host/keppie instead

On the 14-17 spot, i have a few concerns about my teams short-medium term future. More 18-21 than 14-17 but in longer term they impact each other.

Trindall did enough to be OK - but its a bit of a jump from him to someone useful. Maybe can switch him to Ford in a straight trade

But HSS, BMM, Warbrick are all there stinking it up right now. They haven't made enough money to do anything with, so unless someone base price turns up not sure what to do with them. Other than going back in time and picking up someone like Sloan instead

I think to get proper improvements to my 14-21 I'm going to have to downgrade a gun. So for now my plan is hope that it works out Ok around their bye schedule that I can ditch someone to fund an upgrade without hurting my team too much in the process.

Adam Doueihi didn’t complete Captain’s run but is expected to play as he manages turf toe.

To be fair seems like this is the year for it I'm in the same boat with hss katoa warbrick have 200k itb to upgrade one or 2 next week doorey and warbrick to Sloan and no clue on who else maybe soni luke but Luke feels sideways

Adam Doueihi is a dead set sell, do yourself a favour if you have him.

Turf toe is the equivalent of rib cartilage for a forward in the way it hampers a player's output.

I recommend Burton/SJ or ARey, unless you are going top shelf on Cleary or risking Hynes with Trindall still on the pine.

Grant (c) should get those additional attacking stats against the Tigers

Good timing Chewie!

I have Grant and Robson...which one do I Capt???

TU: Robson
TD: Grant

feedback valued..cheers

Captaincy choice is touch out of Cleary, Haas and Murray.

Leaning towards Haas. Big game v Dolphins, will want to step up.

But Cleary is tempting.

I would not Capt Murray against Manly.

Historically Cleary is the obvious choice, but the Eels will be pulling out all stops tonight in desperation and I think it will be a very tight low scoring game.

Also Cleary had an ankle niggle and might 'do enough', I am wait and see on him.

Therefore Haas is the option I would take of those 3.

Declaration, I own Murray and Haas and am VC Haas

I am either (C) Robson or Grant.

Yep, just reversed my original trades so I can sell Doueihi
EButcher to stay for now so I can l**p between Warbrick & HSS

Boyd & SJ as my new halves combo

Boyd looked good and still popped out 42 with a HIA, AND the coach brought him back on while running 3 halves in the side, he is 45-55 pts, SJ will be at home, it is very fine but cool over here in Aotearoa this weekend, should be good kicking conditions will point up at 52-59 again I reckon.

Cheers on the Capt vote fellas Grant it is.

Thinking of apologising to Tapine for almost trading him out this week by giving him the captains armband. I feel like he’s the kind of guy who you give a bit of responsibility to and he repays the faith. 3pm game in Newcastle, no reason for sub 50 minutes surely.

Trading in a WFB (up to 427k) for Talau stuck tossing up Sloan/Perham/CNK.

Sloan

Pros: Lowest BE, cheapest, reasonable upcoming draw, plays R13 if he sticks around that long.

Cons: Very reliant on attacking stats (sustainable with the Dragons?), base isn't that inspiring (averaging just 99 run meters the first two games), history of low scores with tries (13 and 9 in 80 minutes at FB with tries previously).

Perham

Pros: Stronger base (averaging 180 run metres so far), less reliant on attacking stats scoring 43 without a try against the Storm.

Cons: Doubtful he can make another 150k from here to reach 520ish?

CNK

Pros: Looked great in R1, best fantasy pedigree plays R13, Warriors look much improved this year, lower ownership to help claw my rank back.

Cons: HIA in R2 means he won't make much cash short term, was terrible at FB last year (R1 just a flash in the pan?).

Sloan is probably the play right as a balance between being able to make cash and actually be playable?

I have FOMO on Tapine, he has played in very trying conditions, hasn't had his old mate JPap supporting him so doing hard early yards.

I think he starts playing 50-55mins and will be back to his beasty best from this weekend.

Defo 1st on my shortlist if I lose one of Murray/Haas/Carrigan to injury.

Would suit me if CNK scores reasonably but not too much and I'll pick up in few rounds for R13 cover
