Downgrading Seyfarth to Angus just doesnt sit right after being such a fantasy stud for so long

I've got selection headaches this week
My Centres are
Taylan May, Jaeman Salmon, Kayal Iro, Ethan Strange - all of which potentially playable
Also have
Turbo, Ponga, Papy, Teddy in WFB.
Also have Schiller who is averaging 50 but not even close to making my 17
If only my rank better reflected my apparent choice.
Don't want to be the match-up guy, but I'm pretty happy to let my Raiders sit this week out, whereas I was all in last week, and it paid off.
May and Iro seem like good CTR picks this week, to me. Salmon and Strange both playable, but I'd assume there's better options in your reserves. Obviously you're playing all four of those top WFB, I assume?

Olam thanks for the brief cash but time to go for Iro.
Can finally get rid of VFifi who has been stinking up my FRF. In comes Angus via Curran's handy DPP. Burbo and Chan can sit for another week.
Had a lean couple of weeks but back in the green last round so hoping for some more gains this week. Similar selection headaches to Milch, but better than struggling to field a 17 imo lol

I’m going May to CNK this week as May will be a reserve but has sucked recently. Anyone who has May really should Captain him now. You’re welcome! Looping looks very dangerous with Talagi on that Parra bench -Talagi to Fuller if my VC kills it? My Captain options are far too many -SJ, Turbo, Ponga, and less so Hynes. I just know I’m going to get this terribly wrong.

Schiller and Strange will be benched for me this week, but there is no way Smithies gets benched. Hosking to Angus was my first trade.Teeth Eater wrote:

I just realised I am about 50th overall, top 5 in the FOG but coming almost last in the league. How? I can not see myself needing to get rid of anyone obvious so after almost max trading since Rd 1 hopefully I can finally start saving some trades after this week!

I dont think so. I was contemplating this move myself but think you need to save boosts as its a bit of a luxury trade. Flegler most likely back next week and Hughes playable in interim. I just wouldnt be blowing boost 4 this early. Hopefully the Flegler injury doesnt drag on. Real limited info so far but on what we have i wouldnt be ditching him just yet unless you are short in that position

I’m contemplating about using my 4th boost this week as well… I think I will because because my thinking is that at the start of the season you need to make as much cash as possible, whilst trying to keep in touch at the top (if lucky enough to be near there). Then later on in the season just hold trades and only trade for injuries/form. I think after this week I’m happy with my 17 and good enough reserves/Cows to milk and hopefully cashout in a few weeks.
Planned trades are:
Burbo -> Angus
Nuffie -> CNK
TMay or Talagi -> Iro
Koro (Lussick)
May, Cotter
Carrigan, Yeo, Harris (KPP, Smithies, Crichton)
Hynes, Brown
Manu, May/Iro
Ponga, Pap, CNK
Galvin, Strange, Salmon, Schiller, Stewart, Willison

I've also have already used 3 booster trades.
Am only make one trade this week. Husking out Angus in.
Feels a bit strange saving a trade.

To be fair those are pretty good trades lol I'd hate to be down to one boost though..

Couldn't live with that strange feeling so also trade Salmon to Blore.

Left Plath outside my scoring 17 this week.
Bit annoying, but who could have predicted him scoring 2 tries

Looking through a few leagues you are in the majority Milch. I did the same, Ive made some poor 50/50 calls so far this week, add this to the list. Its exacerbated given my halves are weak. Hopefully Galvin gets 75 with a double today.Milchcow wrote:

damn i sold plath when he got suspended but tbh i probably wouldn't have played him in my 17...i've always wondered with the a.e. rule why do they take the lowest score why not the highest.
