2018 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 47

Think I'll just go for a bad ass final team. Stuff the byes!!!!!

Any love for Gurgess? Likely to make a few bucks over next couple of weeks.

16 players this week if Kennar’s fit. 17 trades left. I’ll use max trades for R14-17 to get a decent R17 team and hope to pick up a few spots on the way.

Koroisau
Sam, Huth
Murray, Fitzgibbon, Lowe
Matterson, DCE
Marsters, Kennar
Ponga, Thompson, Fonua

Cogger, Douehie, Aubbs

TPJ, Kikau, Cleary, Cook, Brimson

I’ll captain either Murray or DCE.

Was keen, but unless he keeps scoring tries I don't think he's worth the trade

Good luck mate

Fuck Edrick Lee is $416k

Hopefully a cheapie pops up tomorrow so I can dump one of Lamb/Soro otherwise it's looking like TMM

Do people consider Koro a keeper half? His price is tempting but he has been a bit up and down at times this season

Really unsure what route to take this year. Go hard with the byes.

Or just go for a gun team.

Thinking about Jai Arrow and while there is no doubt that he is one of the toughest players around, that with his ongoing back and rib issues and the added intensity of Origin footy, that maybe he is one that won't be able to back up in subsequent rounds 14, 16 and/or 18. Maybe he's a sell now and bring back around round 19-20.

Not NRL fantasy related, but some of the data fiends on here might be interested in this - https://www.betfair.com.au/hub/news/world-cup-datathon/

I don't have the time to do it at the moment, but a few friends who are into machine learning/AI are going to give it a go.

I think no but I have him in my team. Likely 18th man at this point

Spooked on both matterson (concussion) and Dce (hokko).. i would rather get cleary or, SJ.

Nathan brown, if named, is a risk. I dont realllyyy want surgess either.

Agree with all of this and have the same 3 guns I know I want. Tough round

Agree Paceys for anyone still with 19+ trades that have been Uber patient, and held onto him so he’s been zero moves to date. Anyone already done IN/OUT with him or got on him late prob need to hold

Hodkinson back is annoying for the Manly assets but I’m running with watson and several pepole still popping Mbye JMK or AJBrimson into backup half so he’s got all them covered!

Shit position this year. SJ/Matterson will without doubt finish the optimal pairing.

Matterson not playing last week to drop cash with a 77 BE is hella annoying

Not currently but he showed the ability to go well above his current average early season if he can string together that sort of form from now until 17 May have yourself a good stepping stone to a hopefully fully fit SJ

I’m considering him over Matterson

Agreed on the bottom line mate I was looking forward to a more affordable Matterson this week but I’m somewhat hesitant to get him in this week

How are you guys structuring your purchase this round.

I was thinking 1 gun, 2 value, 1 cow, all playing RD13. Value guys will need to earn about 100k each.

I'm thinking of getting Milford in as a keeper half after Round 13 then flipping DCE (who I've had all season) to SJ or Cleary before the second bye. Haven't seen Milford mentioned at all on here.

The more I think about how much the likes of Brown and Burgess dont really inspire, the more I’m gravitating to biting the bullet on Mattersons price and just fixing one of my starting 13 slots with a season keeper
