NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 25 - Take it to the betting thread you degenerates

GreenSchist wrote:Difita + Doorey to Hoskings + Frizell.

Week 6 - Trindall out for a cashie (maybe AKP). Bank the other trade.
Week 7 - Carty + Carrigan to Hynes + sub $450k player

Could also downgrade Grant to a cheaper HOK during this period if I find I really need cash

N.B. Working on writing up a Team Tracker for those who might be interested in following along for the ride

Have already saved 2 trades so far and saving another one this week by not going through with that feels weird. Getting an itchy trigger finger.

Can I talk you out of the Frizell trade for Gilbert instead? Better average, DPP, and no Origin with a better bye schedule for 20k more?

Word out of Manly is Schuster has done his quad. Not sure how long that is but Cooper Johns could be an alright stop gap for now?

Neither did I, and that’s not what I’m trying to say, although quite poorly evidently. For me, Hoskings is too valuable a potential cash generating player for me to pass. In order for me to acquire him, I need to ditch someone in that price range, and unfortunately that someone is either Fifita or Carrigan. This isn’t about trading out a keeper, it’s about missing out on potentially $200k + of cash. I figure you have to be able to deviate away from original plans and that is sort of what I’m doing here.

Taking on board what you lads have highlighted, I think I’m now ditching Carrigan to enable Frizzell and Hoskings, then see what happens come week seven and whether I can get Hynes in some other way. Maybe Hoskings is done by that point and he’s the out…?

Why is Trindall in the Sharks Squad? He's not a back utility, he's not a small forward and he's not an organizing half either. The only person I can see him being there for is Hynes...

I'm being paranoid, I know... but....

Likely good for DCE scoring too

I have Fifita and Carrigan, would be more likely to ditch Carrigan than Fifita (not doing either):
- Carrigan is locked in for Origin, Fifita isn't.
- Fifita is getting 57 average vs Carrigan 59, but they are both getting there on base, not tries, and you know which one has some huge games coming up that will make them average much higher than that this season.
- I am picking Fifita to be the highest average EDG this year, has base as good as any EDGs, just waiting for the huge games that others won't match.

I have the C on DCE due to this.
