Haven’t done the VC loop for a while so I’m a little lost by one thing. Seeing as I have only 17 players this week (everybody on my bench is unavailable either from resting or they’re a nuff) which players score would I get for my AE? Or is it pointless to do a VC loop?

Perfect time to peform a vc loop. Drop any of your 17 players so they will be your lowest scoring player and put the C on the person who is not playing

Ohhhh, right right. Thanks MT

TU: Lolo
TD: Crichton

Comment: Tohu or anyone else?

Anybody looking at Capewell this week?

-Playing the Dogs who give up the most points to 2RF
– he’s starting (the three previous times he started this year, he managed 89 and 62 with most of that in base, with one injury affected game against the eels where he scored 3 points)
– Surely primed for big minutes as you’d think with Yeo/JFH would get longer spells considering they aren’t bring rested before finals.

I’m trying to find a CTW under 400k and he seems to be the stand out so far.

In the same boat and definitely considering him.

BOB

He’s a great buy. Lock it in

Doods

Need to downgrade CS9 to get Teddy back in.
Looking at Block of Cheese, Starling or even Mr Cotter. Any thoughts?

BOB

Friend is a good option. The rooters fwds should dominate the Souths pack.

bigduke6

Rain and wind for ANZ stadium tomorrow. Anyone off Teddy now?

weebs

VC Staggs or Haas?

Karma Keg

Staggs for me – no idea how he’ll go at 5/8 but I doubt Haas gets you that 120+ score that’s loop worthy. I only ever put the VC on someone I don’t have the balls to straight C. If you’re H2H it would also be worth considering how your going to counter Ted.

BOB

Staggs

DCE2011

Was keen on Staggs this week (as a centre). Will he score as well at 5/8?

Karma Keg

What do people think about Feldt as a trade in? Broncos Love to give up a try and I can see this as a high scoring game. Does he still have the goal kicking?

Mighty tigs

Dosn’t have the GK Holmes has it. Not a bad option

ApaxHapiMickey

Have 16 players right now, with 1 trade remaining. Team is:
Koro
Carrigan klem
McInnes matto crichton
Cleary moses
Brimson
Nofo lomax staggs mann yeo
Teddy pong

For my 17th player should I:
TU get haas
TD get a one week wonder or gun (cash not an issue)
Cheers

Magpies4Eva007

Personally I would hold that trade for now. There is some talk that Koro may be rested and Burton on the bench could either mean Cleary is rested or might have reduced minutes. And who knows what other late outs there will be. With only 16 players that last trade could be gold before the round finishes.

3rd-man-in

H2H only. Have to play one at this stage, potentially more with any further late outs. So with that in mind wondering if we could rank these plays.
Hammer against Broncs
Will Kennedy against a weaker Raiders outfit
Musgrove who is starting at prop (no idea what to expect there but have to consider)
Thanks guys

Magpies4Eva007
  1. Hammer – hope for a try
  2. Kennedy – New halves pairings, not sure how Sharks will go
  3. Musgrove – might only play 40 minutes
zpazzy

TU: Brimson
TD: Moses

Thankyou

mrochester

Cannot decide between the bringing in the below players.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated

  • Grant
  • Brimson
  • Crichton

Cheers

Magpies4Eva007

I’d go Brimson for the upside.

mrochester

Last reserve Hammer or averillo.
Usually id be straight onto averillo but im worried hes injured his leg last week and am worried he will be pulled before or during the game with wakeham on the bench.

3rd-man-in

I’m tossing up Hammer but I think if I had Averillo it would be a no brainer subject to any late mail regarding Averillo

AJW

Hi all – just wanted to wish all at the top (Hamish, Tim & co:) the best of luck this weekend. Can well commiserate with the No1, as I too brought in Turbo, captained him, although was originally gonna go Angus + Tupou for last 2 trades, but greedily I went Angus + Turbo, hoping for untold success! All that glitters is not gold: Instead of going from 3:5k spot into top 1k, I went down to the 4Ks 🙁 That’s life isn’t it? 4/4 likely H2H victories turned to 4/4 defeats! Doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things!… Read more »

If you have Lolo in your team but can field a strong 17 without him do you sit him on the bench this week? Worried about his minutes and possibility of him re-injuring his calf and limping off in the first half and not returning. But then I have a fomo re his possible points vs the Broncos.

FBS11

Draft Question: Pick 3 – Lolo, Cordner, Martin, Young, CHN. Usually a no brainer but with Lolo/Cordner potentially facing reduced mins and Young/CHN starting it’s a bit tougher.

Cheers!

Magpies4Eva007

Last 3. They should play 80.

DCE2011

Who to trade in for Smith

TU: Grant
TD: Lolo (via duals)

Pool Man

Thought I would throw my draft team up. Let me know of any changes you would make.
Api, Carrigan, Barnett, Cleary, Flannagan, Sauce, Gutho.
Reserves: Yeo, JFH, CHT, Paps, C.Smith.
Cheers.

3rd-man-in

Big thanks to Magpies4ever on the previous page. Have narrowed it down.
TU Hammer
TD WKennedy

Wish it hadn’t come to this but should be glad I’ve got options.

BroncosGirl

Bateman-> Angus seems like the obvious choice ??! Is it too obvious ? Am i missing something ? Last remaining trade, $ not really an issue …. Current 17 (just scraped 17 together pending any further outs – yeh gonna have to play Musgrove but hoping i can avoid having to play Randall aswell) … Cook / Randall Haas, Musgrove McInness, Matto, Carrigan Cleary/ DCE Brimson Tupou, Mansour, To’o, Yeo / Nofo Teddy/ Ponga Bateman to pretty much any 2rf, Frf or Ctw …… TU – Angus TD – Better option uv missed (if so who ?) TIA as always… Read more »

I don't pray to God; I pray to DCE

Given it’s the last round of the year, I’d be bringing in a CTW who you think can pump out a big score. Angus, by no means is a bad option, I just don’t think he’s going to get the mammoth score you should be aiming for.

I’d only trade him in if you can’t make up your mind on what CTW to pick.

Tried as much as possible to avoid the ctw lottery …. feel luke this week its more of a lottery than ever … ????!
Who wpuld u suggest ?
Atm – im still thinking a fairly safe 60-80 with slight upside mayne better than a 20-110 gamble from a ctw given matchups & rests this week ?

Bunnnys56

Live Countdown Show saying D. Laurie playing FB and playing FR is a must play if you have him against Dogs, BG.

uncledami

Just bring in Jake Clifford and throw a few bucks on him to score 2+ tries @$41
Your welcome 😉

polarbear

Half way there!

BroncosGirl

Are u implying hes a better trade in than Angus ?
I just scraped 17 ….. if i owned hum hed absolutely be in ahead of either musgrove or randall

monojoker

Got 2 trades left and looking to win my H2H. Sadly sold Lomax last week but can get him back this week for Manu if it’s the best option (opponent has Lomax). 49K ITB.

McInnes Walters
Haas Klemmer Carrigan* Nuff
Matto Crichton Harris Sironen* Bateman Burbo
Cleary Flanno*
Luai* Munster
Nofo BMoz Mansour Hammer Manu Paulo Kennedy
Ted Pong*

Lots of big value non-players but only 2 trades LOL.

Thanks for any ideas.

monojoker

Slim pickings in both CTW and the halves after a decent look.

Manu -> Lomax
Munster -> Walker/Brimson

Then who do I not play out of Flanno/Sirro?

uncledami

“Clifford” and play SIRONEN

monojoker

Yeahhhh, okayyyyy 🙂

I might wait tonight switching Hammer to NPR and wait for Penrith final team in case any surprises crop up. Luckily most of the halves I’ll consider for Munster play after Penrith and before the Storm so can look at Moses and DCE too.

Masonic Knights

Got 2 trades left and looking to win my H2H. – Really?
