Is he at fullback for a couple more? I've almost got the trades to get him in for H2H's
I'm just ignoring H2H and hoping to finish well overall.

Nah Manu is centre for this one but outside chance he goes to 5/8 or FB, then probably centre the next week and then bye for next round Teddy would miss (Munster has same bye anyway). Wouldn't bring him in unless Teddy got injured.

BE just 18 though after a big week so hoping he can put up solid scores and close gap between himself and Munster until after their bye that would be ideal for me

So it seems the centre position is the most frustrating whichever fantasy league you play? Makes sense. I’m playing NRL fantasy, is SuperCoach much different? Better?

I've never played Fantasy. I here there's a few differences around how price rises happen (no three game min I think?) and the salary cap is bigger..?

Oh, and CTW is a bugger, for sure. A players min/max scores tend to be a long way apart so they can be pretty risky. AJ could score 120 one week and 20 the next

SC rewards attacking stats more is the main difference I think. And in SC you have CTW which is wingers and centres, and FB is separate. Half and 5/8 also separate.

The higher reward for attacking stats makes backs who are reliant on attacking stats extremely swingy.

Other big difference is a players price doesn't change until after their third game, then it changes each game. You can watch a player for two weeks before bringing him in at a different price. Some people say it is easier because of that but I wouldn't say it is easier as everyone playing is in same boat.

I usually do both but pay more attention to SC, inevitably I start to slide in Fantasy and basically give up.

Had a few blokes have stinkers this week to land me in high 1100s and I fell 500 ranks - glad I looped to Gutho and as had Cody Walker as my capt and he would have ****ed me big time

This week though if Walsh gets suspended I have no fullback (Walsh and Gutho)! Probably have to drop Walsh for CNK or Isaako... can't have no fullback this round then Walsh also out the round after (SOO) and I'm guessing his BE will be stinky

Anyone got some brilliant insight as to what to do with Walsh.
I've got him and Gutho so no fullback this week currently, couple that with Walsh having now 7/10 games remaining I think I have to chop him.

Looking at players average, 3 round average and 5 round average vs number of games they have left
Walsh - OUT doesn't play enough
Graham - OUT doesn't play enough
CNK - the best choice if he can hold at or near current form
Isaako - safer big scorer
Edwards - good sideways move from Walsh, lower ceiling than other two though. On pure average he beats CNK but CNK recent form blows him away
Kennedy - more recent form makes him an out although his average would actually keep him right in the mix (due to extra game over others). Another thing against Kennedy is with Hynes, Ronnie and Nikora already a fourth Shark is probably too much.

Isaako and CNK being pricier probably cost me Preston though in the next few weeks due to their extra expense making it harder to bring in D Fifita. Due to byes Preston is probably in my scoring 17 most weeks.

CNK for mine - can find the odd head knock but in slashing form ..

I've got Gutho and Walsh and I'm going to flick him. Not sure who to, but looking at Munster via Ponga.

I'm looking at only bringing in keepers from here on out and Munster find the bill, although I'll be in trouble if he doesn't back up in round 20.

I've got CNK but I'm not sure I'd be wanting to buy him at his current price... have you got a dual CTW you can move down and buy a CTW instead of a fullback?

If I found your actual team, looks like through duals (Garrick/Manu/Schuster) you can sell Walsh and pretty much pick any player you want?

I do have all them, yeah I’m pretty flexible. My other main target would be Munster but I think I’ll wait post origin for him

Yeah that's the problem with this week... most of the good targets still have Origin. Ideally it'd be a hold trades week...

Munster, Ponga, AFB?

Munster I’ll get post origin
Ponga I’ll probably miss, between his head and the knights I think Marzhew is enough knights for me
AFB would be interesting but a) I think I’d rather splash on a back (higher ceiling) b) would need me to keep schuster and I’m downgrading him to Piakura now Riki is out for a bit

Person I am facing in my work league captained SJ and had Nicho as a reserve so couldn't VC him.
Hopefully SJ has a stinker.
I captained Nicho
You are looking good there mate - apparantly wet in Auckland as well ..
