Round 4Round Score: 776
Overall Rank: 523rd
Trades: Cleary > Carrigan & Wong > KPP
ITB: 178k
Starting 17Cook (84) - Keeping the faith paid off, pretty confident he can be the top scoring HOK this year
Carrigan (c) (124) - Can't complain with the trade in, solid captaincy and solidifies my MID position
Smithies (34) - I think as long as he keeps getting 60+ minutes we can average 40+, his last 2 games have been his floor
Terrell May (65) - Same as last week, absolute fantasy beast, kicking myself for not starting with him
Kpp (53) - Potential to be an EDG keeper, very happy with the trade
Salmon (21) - Shifting to the centres killed his scoring again, still cash to make so will persist
Fogarty (63) - Mr. Consistent strikes
againGalvin (44) - What a player, everyone will be on board now but glad I got on early
Strange (37) - Really happy with a 37 when I was down on troops and forced to play him
May (29) - Turned out being a really dud trade, think I will sell in order to provide funds for Cleary/Hynes
Rapana (34) - Keeps churning out acceptable scores but I feel like a really dud score is on the horizon
Teddy (32) - Roosters won't play the Panthers every week
Kiraz (23) - Shifted to the wing at half time, really needs those offloads when he isn't getting tackles as a base
Lussick (22) - Another dud trade in, hoping for a Handless bench this week as I don't want to trade before Cook's bye
Hutchinson (45) - His real life performances are pretty average but he's getting the fantasy points, hoping to upgrade to Hynes/Cleary once they are back
Levi (44) - What a difference a week makes, if he could get to 400k I would call that a big success
Brbo (22) - Losing minutes each week, thanks for the Vegas score but time for you to go!
EMGSHughes (
- The slow burn got even slower yet again, starting this week which means he gets a stay of execution
Chan (DNP) - Will hold but really need him back in the Storm 17
Piakura (DNP) - Will be holding, should make a good amount of cash once he is back fit
Papy (DNP) - Don't really need to explain
SummaryQuite a low scoring round, but was able to continue the upwards trajectory and rank well inside the top 1000. Hopefully this will continue this week after being able to avoid a lot of the carnage once again.
Still haven't saved a trade but I want to have a 17 I am really happy with before I can start holding. To get to this point I think I need 4 more trades.
This will involve a plan to get one of Cleary or Hynes as a set and forget captain. At the moment I am thinking Hynes and hoping he misses Origin although I think Cleary will average more over the season. Any insight into which to target would be appreciated.
In terms of potential trades I am looking at the following:
Brbo > Angus - This is a big risk but it's a points upgrade as long as Angus stays in starting 13
Taylan > Talagi - Banking cash for the below upgrade
Hutchinson > Hynes or Cleary - no explanation needed really, it can wait a week or 2 depending on Hutch's BE
Rapana > JCampbell - I think these 2 will average around the same and Campbell just cheaper, my my only concern is how poor the Titans have looked
Carrigan locked in as captain, team before trades is:
Cook
(C)arrigan Smithies May
KPP Salmon
Fog Hutch
Brbo Kiraz
Papy Teddy Rapana
Lussick Taylan Levi Galvin (loop)
SHughes Strange Chan Piakura
Currently wanting to do the first 2 trades from the above list this week although BE's suggest to get JC before Angus, I just can't look past Angus' fixture and have too many doubts about JC. If anyone has any ideas please share!

But if he puts up 40 he only loses 20k for the week and saves a trade next week. That's the best case I see so save yourself 20k and make sure he has the role you want.
