Laban to Lisati should be doable or one of the other cheapies and take the cash loss?

My news is I am debating dumping Fifita after last night - all season long he is going to go 40,40 95, 12, 36, 22, 115, 40 - He is going to win you a round one week and lose a round for you the next. I am getting off this roller coaster. I will just have to suck it up if in round 2 he pops off.
I thought Latrell would bolster his attack.
But it went the other way around. 🤦

Laban can still score well. I've sold him but he can still be good. I think it requires his center to play well too.

Have I read correct that you are giving Fifita another week to see how he goes? That would be wise as Bennett has handed him the keys as an 80 minute player so he may be worth holding onto. The sin bin he got that shaved off some points was ridiculous as well, he didn't do a thing wrong and would have otherwise finished somewhere closer to 50 with the extra time on the field.

Also I've got Lisati on my bench, but be aware that there's a chance Chan and Blore may start when he returns, so make sure you have enough second row stocks for this possibility if you are strong on dropping Fifita.
 
We are pretty much a full house in the Overall Forum League

25 of the 29 have signed up

It's not to late, we are starting Thursday!

You can join the overall league on NRL Fantasy with code LC5SSZUD

I will try to work out who hasn't entered
 
Apparently Fifita still has a foot issue from last season. Im sticking with him for now. I'm trading Brown which feels wrong for so many reasons but hes one of my few players who didnt hit his BE.

Fifita would have scored 50-60 if he wasn't sent off.

Brown might be a 2026 Metcalf. Careful!
 
Just seen my week 2 opponents team.

"WOW"!!! what a team.

Warriors forum players ain't no joke in Fantasy.
What have I got myself into🤦🤦🤦.
 
My opponent is Rizzah. He has guns on his bench and some of his lesser players in his starting 13 so you get lulled into a false sense of confidence at first glance at his team. I will do well to run him close.

Yeah, Brown is a massive hold. I just don't really have anyone else to trade. I can see it costing me though.
I’m off Brown. I know it’s very early but even when Fletcher Sharpe went off he still wasn’t a dominant half. Everything was spread between Ponga and Sandon Smith, with Brown occasionally there. Newcastle are still Newcastle and he’s not even a dominant half in a below average team, I don’t see his scores being a worry.

Yeah, Ponga seems to be the dominant player in the team. It was only one game though and his first with the team. People think he could become this years Metcalf but Metcalf was the main man who did almost all the kicking and had goal kicking etc. I do honestly think Brown could be a decent scorer this season and if he looks like he will be i will bring him back.
 
Is Noah Martin really a must have? I generally don't like bringing a guy in that is about to play the Warriors, but he is also coming against Chanel/Capewell/Pompey which I would rate far better defensively than Brooks/Ben Turbo/Koula.. Doubt he going to keep playing 80 when Timoko returns and Sasagi is back on the bench as well?

Couchman I don't really want to touch coming up against the Storm lol, plus Liddle back in a week or so and I already have two Dragons.

Chan I could be keen on but already have Leo, Lisati, and Fa'alogo.

Hau I want to lean towards.. if I make a trade at all Cooper Bai will be the guy going out.

Also, I gotta say, I understand the basic "If he scores less than this he loses money, if he scores more than this he makes money" but I really don't understand how breakevens work the week following a massive game when a players B/E goes into the negatives haha

Yes he's a must have for cash gen and presumably you should be able to move to him in one go via an underperforming cow.

I'm going Bai to Martin in one go, feels a good move.

His BE this week is -20. It's not 100% accurate but approximately the number a player beats their BE is the $1,000s they will rise. (Likewise fall if they don't hit it)

So Martin could go out and have an absolute stinker, score zero and still rise in price by 20k

BEs are based on an average across 3 games. If Martin averages 40 across the next 3 weeks, he'll rise another $150k+

Like Makasene said. Hes as close to a must have as any fantasy player will ever be. Hes very cheap, has a history of scoring well in reserve grade, scored really well in his first week, has a crazy -20 BE and seems to have his role sewn up for a while.

Players score - their BE is usually pretty close to the price change. So if martin scores a 20 he will make approximately $40k

I've pretty much just repeated Makasenes post haha. One very minor thing i will add is that no one actually knows how the rolling average is calculated. some people say 3 week or 5 week rolling average but there seems to be some type of formula they use and no ones been able to quite work it out that ive seen so far.
 
Ahh okay, got yas, cheers!

So annoying.. I was deciding between Martin and Bai for my last spot anyway.. Miss out on 80 points, 66k, and a trade 😂

(Truth is it was actually between those two and Laban as well, but that doesn't suit the narrative lol)
 
Overall league is underway.

Not too late for the 4 missing people to join.

Best of luck all

Does that mean scoring only counts from round two and round one scores don’t?
