NRL Fantasy 2023 Part 53 - Back to the footy!

Coates the week after is a shout.

Yeah he might be base price the week after.

At this point I think I've wound up that plan, and instead am just going Cheese and Miller to JDB and Fainu (avoiding Ponga).

This lets me keep Haas and have a fairly straightforward way of getting D Edwards next week ($200k bank so the above-mentioned strategy is still possible if I'm lucky) while avoiding the risk of Ponga getting concussed yet again.

It does mean I have 11 players this week instead of potentially 12, but that's fine, I think I'm better off keeping my powder dry when it comes to Haas and trade him for D Edwards next week.

Team after trades:

Actually played lock in this one but was named on edge

Ahhh bugger, should have read the new notes section. I didn’t pay for the fancy stats in the past

Feel like I've scratched together a solid enough 13 for this week after current trades.

Robson
JDB Tohu Tatola
Hopgood Couchman
SJ DBrown
Lemuelu Bird
Drinkwater Ponga Sloan

Hopefully make some ranks.

Can't wait for NSW to win game 1 and drop TPJ so he can become Undefeated Origin Superstar Tevita Pangai Junior

Wish I had cook,harris,Not luki but can't be perfect when you can only play 1 hooker and 3 mids
Limited DPP is hurting this year too but it keeps things interesting too

$158k and 10 trades remain after this:

Miller ---> Ponga
BSmith ---> Hopgood
Alamoti ---> Metcalf (bit of a punt but capable of going big)

Robson
Horsburgh, JDB, Stone
Hopgood, Hosking
Crossland, Metcalf
Bird, Manu
Ponga, Tedesco, Bula

Cleary, Hynes, Boyd, Haas

Preston, HEdwards, Oloapu, BTurbo

Planning to use the last trade of the round to jettison BTurbo for Val if he plays.

Thoughts?

Next week I am changing my name to Oil merchant

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet.

Looping and emergencies are in the bin this week. I just noticed a notification on the app that players must be in your starting 13 to count this week. Auto emergency rules do not apply.

Who you looking to target come round 16?

Haven't looked that far ahead but probably Robson and JFH are first thoughts.

That contradicts their help page

"Bye round (13, 16 & 19) score reduced to 13 players (not 17), where 13 on field players will contribute to the total of the fantasy score, with standard auto-emergency substitution in play."

Also in their "Classic Guidelines section: "Note: For the designated Bye Rounds (13, 16 & 19), your team’s total score will aggregate the 13 players only, subject to auto-substitution rules. "

Batman wrote:Those with Haas and Carrigan... What's the play, holding both or selling one/both ?

I'm trading Carrigan and holding Haas.

NSW hasn't needed Haas to play big minutes in the past and I think Young + Friz will be EDG with Murray, Martin, Paulo and whats his name.. TPJ playing in the MID rotation. Haas can still bang out big scores even with reduced minutes when backing up.

I was always planning to trade Carrigan this week, but the big score made me pause for a moment. A couple of 50s peaks at +30k after 2 games. 55s is +45k over 2-3. So I don't like that as a reason to hold. I think both he and Haas will have some reduced minute games, with Carrigan's scoring more affected between the two.

Is literally under section #1 of their help page.

Where'd you get/see the notification?

Popped up on the bottom of my team list. Something like "Make sure you start them.
Auto emergencies do not apply in round 13"

Yeah was more concerned for people that like to chuck 4 starters in their emergencies for shits and giggles.

Fuck it, will roll the dice with Ponga again unless Te Whare starts
At least at fullback he won't be defending in the line and a chance of goalkicking
200k cheaper than Isaako too so a direct swap with alamoti
