NRL Fantasy 2018 Thread Part 34

The minutes for TPJ are frustrating, I'll tip him out this week and then Bennett will make him a 55min player down the line. Its time though. Havili still has a chance to make cash even if he is hamstrung with Sticky.
Might have a sendoff for Sami as well this week, he was always a positive contributor in the sheds but unless he has another monster game very soon he is going to bleed out.

Who’d you drop mate?

I had Savili and Kikau in mind for the move originally as non week 13 players but I can’t drop Kikau obv

I spent my war chest on Rochow>Fifita and Kennar>Mbye
Leaves me with no back up centres should an injury pop up

Great moves. You don’t worry about byes when upgrading that strongly

Fifita is so far ahead of the next best FRF that he will easily cover the points I'll miss out on in the byes

With the first year of ranked subs making avoiding low scoring players irrelevant are people still targetting players that will pop up during byes for 1-2 games then disappear as a cash out or are we going with absolute spuds like Uate?

I know ms listed this week's trade in targets somewhere else, but this is my shortlist

Fifita / Taumalolo / JDB (time to start bringing in the big guns at some point)
DCE (or wait until Manly sort out off field issues)
SJ (injuries too much this year?)
Gelling (cash out who might make soke cash, or will he be out of the team too quickly)
Dugan (probably best fantasy centre if he stays at fullback)
Sorenson (job security or cash cow)
Pearce replacement (Watson/Lamb about to shine?)

With a squad size of 21, it is too early to be killing off positions with a 1-2 round bye player.

Everyone I bring at this point needs to be scoring regularly and/or making cash.

I am $1k off Rochow and Inglis to Fifita and Dugan

Fantasy can be a cruel game

Fifita is a no brainer
Taumalolo was looking like a pretty low score until that try. Still probably a keeper but lower down the list for me
JDB I would need an injury in that pack for grab him/Vaughan/Graham. They steal too many points and minutes from each other
DCE I felt was overpriced. With this latest score he should be in the right range very soon
SJ I'm not touching until he starts kicking in play again
Gelling I don't think will have enough time
Dugan we all know what he can do when he is on the field. Too many games missed or games less than 80 minutes for me to trust him at this stage. If centre wasn't such a wasteland of non talent I wouldn't even consider him
Sorenson looks like he has jumped Capewell. I think we just saw the best fantasy game of his career and will soon be back to limited minute benchy.
Probably have a week to look at the Knights and see who is on the radar.

Uate is good for the odd 20pts so he’s without question a better #21 than a red dot

Main thing is having a JMK or Isaako/Kennar type in front of him on the bench

Inglis coming good anyway. Doing it ugly but.

Just looking at Week 13 guns at the moment...

Fifita - no war chest here though
Friend - what a price for him. Not sure he even needs Radley gone or 80 at that price.
Watson - might now be what we hoped he may.
Dugan - if there’s a chance of no origin, I’d be all over him.
Matterson - I reversed a trade on him 3 weeks ago. Biggest mistake of my season. Gun.

All the while needing Burgess and maybe Taumalolo eventually. No idea where I’m going to raise enough funds. Players like Kikau and RFM weren’t supposed to be season keepers!

Non bye trade-up cows gone wrong!!

Anyone looking at James Roberts? Almost a POD centre now.
Priced bang on his average of 36.

From the list the only urgent trades for me are Fifita and Dugan. Friend you would like to see a turn around before bringing him in. Watson wanting to see how he works with Ponga/Cogger/Lamb. High enough B/e that it won't cost much
Matterson is priced according to average. If you think he is a keeper his price won't move much
