How did you manage that? Even that world cup predicting Octopus could get 9 if it used it's head.

Because I am making no trades this week. If I make three trades I will move from 8 players to 11 players. And 11 players is a losing hand. Secondly I am making no trades as said since the very beginning I would take the loss in the major bye rounds so this is part of my master plan to lose these rounds.
Finally I only have 12 trades up my sleeve. So have none free to play with anyway. I will save my trades this week and have 12 next week. Next week most other people will 14 to 16 trades left and 12 won't compare as badly as it does this week.
So am I smarter than the Octopus? Or do I at least have a rationale worthy of an octopus?

No.

Hahahaha

Brilliant Tyrael !!!!!!

Made my day and it is has been a great day already. My best day in a long time.
1) The replacement sky remote finally arrived after we broke it. And I had to make two follow up calls to Sky and wait three weeks.
2) I took the car in for a product recall on an air bag and got is all squared away after months of build up and hooha
3) Got assigned a mint project at work

Is Toia a trade now? Misses 12, maybe 13, Bye 14 and 17

Definitely could trade now, as Roosters play last in round 13 I’m picking him to back up and will trade after round 13 - Just trying to delay the trade as I have round 12 cover, would like to see options post 13, plus a BE of 9 means he may get a bit more value.

*NEWS AND GOSSIP*

1) Terrell May has broken over $1,000,000 in price
2) Some players are confused as they were expecting 4 trades this week

Last one was Hynes?

I'm thinking of trading in Burbo. He's either going to be great, or another Piakura....

That’s really interesting
He is on my radar as well
It seems embarrassing to target him as he has been a casual athlete meme player for him to throw stones at for years but he is starting to pass the eye test

The part that really impressed me is he is got into handbags with Hynes after a tackle and Ben got the better of it and it changed the momentum of the match for a while
He has found a tough edge and his ball play has improved

 

[Wrighty]

Someone else I am tire kicking but may pass on is Brimson at fullback
They don’t seem to ever give him an extended run there or anywhere really always shuffling him about

Yea I’m considering him as well. Will see where the chips fall today with tlt

Im doing to same. my overall rank is already cooked this season. Im happy to lose these weeks (most comps in in have byes turned on) and take the overall rank hit to save the trades and hold my guns.
Im actually kinda bummed you only need 13 for the minor bye rounds since that would suit my team better.
Also be weary of Burbo, he does fluke the odd decent score but has always been a bit if a fantasy plodder.

I'm vs; @Dantheman and @Barzak this week......

My advice is actually try and play normally. My personal opinion is sacrificing origin rounds serves no purpose in learning and improving at the game. It makes a little sense in giving up h2h but fantasy in the end is about overall score (unless you are playing multiple accounts). If you sacrifice the origin rounds, your overall score tanks and at best you'll recover to break even but I doubt that.

I learnt a lot from playing last year and trying my best every round. That's why I had a tanty last year. Doing my best and still getting poked but I did well by the end and came 9th.

Watch out for @Barzak , he's got fantasy devs on speed dial and will gain ghost points to beat you

 

[Dantheman]

Bringing in some big guns this week, really need to save trades moving forward though.

Said like a true addict
