    Probably a 30 point hit in exchange for 40k cash?

    Feels insane to not play a full 17 this early but cash gen has been so hard to come by and there’s only a couple of weeks to collect Galvin, Lussick etc before the opportunity is gone?

    684k is enough to get Turbo, just do that.

    Papenhuyzen has the bye next week, so if you don't trade a WFB in this week, what is your plan for next week


    Are you relying on Talau and Kris both being back to field a team?

    I would bet trading in a WFB gets you better scores than trading in someone else and copping a 0 and maybe Talau for the next 2 weeks.

    mrbrownstone wrote:Locked in Luki to May as trade #1 which feels like a no-brainer. Leaves me 5k short of doing Wong to Lussick though which is unfortunate. So if I trade Wong this week, Mann and Finefeuiaki are the only two I'm interested in under 509k, with reservations about both.

    Considering keeping Wong to loop this week and turn into Campbell next week to cover Pap, and instead doing McInness to Cotter—don't want to miss the boat there. Danger there is next week I'll have Pap, Grant, Chan, Wong as red dots, and if anyone else gets injured/suspended I'm struggling to field 17.

    Could also skip May and do Luki + Wong = Curran + Lussick but I'm really not sure about skipping May....

    Basically:

    a) Wong -> Finefeuiaki
    b) McInnes -> Cotter (trade Wong next week)
    c) Luki + Wong -> Curran + Lussick (skip May)

    Head says A is the straight bat play, gut says B, and the risk-taker in me says C.

    Team for context:

    Spoiler:

    I would defs go May and due to bye round next week would also grab Fine. Would you still have enough to get Campbell at that point with Flanno?

    Is Shoes your most pressing tradeout candidate? Jealous

    Is Haas/Wong/Luki more popular?

    That trio didn't occur to me, but yep, 7029 have those three.

    Out of Cook/Haas/Wong/Luki/Seyfarth/Kris, I only have one (Wong).. you'd think my team would be looking good, but nope.

    EDIT actually I have Hosking which is a really annoying scenario.

    Coin flip Turbo or Ted imo. And so do others apparently

    Turbo has decent record against Eels, and Ted is against the 2024 spooners

    My plan was to run with Kris in WFB until JC became an option, unfortunately that plan has backfired spectacularly.

    I'm currently 1 WFB short this week. Am I crazy going without May and doing the following trades instead?

    McInnes > Tedesco
    Luki > Finefeuiaki

    Gives me
    Api
    Murray Smithies Jsaifiti
    Piakura Finefeuiaki
    Cleary Galvin
    Burbo Strange
    Turbo Teddy Papy

    Cheese Tupounuia Hutchinson Chan
    Salmon Hughes Liddle Kris

    230k bank after those trades.

    Would appreciate any thoughts on this one because I think McInnes gets closer to 60mins this week but at least I'd be bringing in a gun in Teddy for him.

    Liddle being out is another kick in the guts.

    You could go May + a pod at WFB like RTS, Cobbo, Lomax or Dom Young?

    In all likelihood Hosking is going to stay in my team for at least another 2 weeks.

    Haas & Wong/Cook to deal with this week. Kini to Campbell one likely move next week (will be a must with Papy on bye) and then the other trade to deal with Wong if I still have him or whichever other injury/suspension/dropping that has no doubt popped up.

    Just hope he is somehow playing 50+mins off the bench.

    Sam McIntyere Minutes appear tied to T'lolololos and cover for if he needs to leave early with his degenerative cartilage


    Kulikefu Finefeuiaki Appears to have won the starting spot over Gosiewski, who lost it to Leiluia last year, circe R14... There is the possibility that he is subbed by Gosiwski early in the game, I guess, but I would think this is pretty unlikely. At 55 - 60 minutes. You would guess he would average around 35... There's nothing to write home about - but it's likely a more reliable and slightly higher-scoring version of Salmon/Levi/Flanagan/Hutchison for a similar price. I am not yet convinced.

    TLDR May Curran or Mann are the options to seek out this week... not sure how to get them in without wasting too many trades ... need a rethink

    Fine is a 293k cow who may head north, worth the risk

    Wouldn't u feel the riskiest one is Mann with his historical minutes and use ?

    I did think of this but feel my team is very 'mid rangey' already and I don't particularly like any of the wfbs I could afford. I figured with Teddy at least I was buying an out and out gun.

    Yeah if I take that route it leaves a bank of 216k, so Sitili/Flanno to Campbell next week would still be comfortable. Means missing Cotter which concerns me but might just have to bite the bullet there.
