Round 4 - Team Makeup (vote for starters)

Here is the current team lineup. Time to help decide our lineup.



Voting
1. As our 3rd WFB we can either play Sivo or Ravalawa (no looping possible this week between these two)
Looping Voting
1. Will get a free look at Bird on the Thursday night game thanks to Burns. What score would we keep Bird in our team (note Ravalawa would get subbed for Burns to avoid Birds score which means we would have to play Sivo at WFB)
2. Our Bench has Rein(who we will always play), Garner (50 avg), Mahoney (45 avg), Lawrie (43 avg) and Burr (37 avg). However we can get a free look at Burr due to Brown on our bench. What would Burr have to score for us to keep him and who would we not play as a result?

If someone has better loops or a starting lineup they prefer I'm happy to hear them so just comment below. Also if you hate looping feel free not to cast a vote but as of now the majority are on board (https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t854-nrlff-community-team-vote-for-our-stance-on-the-dreaded-loophole).

100% mate - thats the way to go.

I tend to think in averages when looping cause that is pretty much your best bet at forming expectations. Therefore one would hope Bird scores well enough to keep as you'd be wanting him to get > Rava's average IMO. So for me 27+ or perhaps bump to 30.

For Burr, I'd suggest 40+ and take that score over Lawrie probably. Is there a risk of Lawrie's role dishing a bit this week? I thought I read Tyson is back in the 21. If he comes in surely that reduces Lawrie's minutes and we probably won't know that until its too late...

TLDR Bird 30+, Burr 40+ is my suggestion.

I think you have the right idea mate. (Also didn't know I could loophole Rava/Bird using Burns.)

Bird 30+ makes sense. (I voted 35+ looking back so feel free to change my vote if it ties.)

A 40+ from Burr via. Lawrie looks like the best option there.

Dang if only those back three scores were what we got last week huh!!

Great work, you are doing a really good job managing all of this, thanks!

Vote in. Sivo !

Thanks everyone.

Will play Sivo and loop looks to be about 30 for Bird and 40 for Burr (drop Lawrie)

At 32 points I've decided we will keep Birds score. Just feel Ravalawa way more likely to be under that than he is over. And his over would be 35 point max. No point risking his floor (10) for his ceiling (35-40).

Good call mate

Yup, agree.

I'm tempted to lock in a 37 for Burr over Lawrie...........

With Friz possibly making a return I'm tempted to play it safe. Lawrie will score between 30 and 40 in my eyes. Any others see differently?

Id be taking the 37 if it was my team. Close call though

I'd take the chance on Lawrie.
Not going to loose much if he doesn't perform but plenty of upside with a couple of big plays. Surely Friz is eased back into the team so Lawrie still gets decent minutes.

This would be my line of thinking. Not sure there is enough reward to bother risking.

Burr is in for Lawrie.

Didnt want to risk it

I think that's perfectly fair and would have done the same. Particularly with Frizz rumours.
