was bored put this together quickly
TEAM NAME: FIGJAM
DEF: M. Hurley, G. Birchall, B. Smith, C. Salem, N. Malceski, D. Viojo-Rainbow (H. Wigg, A. McDonald-Tipungwuti)
MID: N. Fyfe, S. Pendlebury, T. Rockliff, G. Ablett jnr, T. Liberatore, D. Thomas, D. Myers, C. Oliver (M. Kennedy, N. Freeman, J. Gresham)
RUC: T. Goldstein, S. Martin (D. Currie)
FWD: C. Wingard, M. Barlow, D. Smith, K. Langford, J. Lamb, B. Williams (C. Petracca, J. Pickett)
CASH LEFT: $47,700
Most of the rookies are place holders obviously
Salem and Malceski scored ok towards the end of this year so the calculated risks
same with Thomas and Myers both under 250k but we know they worth more then that
Would love your thoughts on Langford. Cheers.
Gday KB
Loving some of these picks Salem and Smith in particular...
Salem would probably end up your D6/7 around 85ppg not quite premo material yet... Smith may see more midfield time with Treloar gone allowing him to reach the potential he was expected to last year.
If Essendon are set to rise even slightly up the ladder then I agree with Hurley in your team has huge potential as an intercepting and rebounding key defender!
Langford I assume is in the bombers 22 if he's in your team.. Unless he's a place holder rookie as you've mentioned!
A lot of upside mate

i'm a huge fan of his rate him very highly
he applies pressure and is smart when under pressure
he is fighting for a bench spot with about 10 players in our best 22 though
Like some of the risks, dont like others.
Def - Dojt mind Hurley, Salem, even Malceski thought i wouldnt pick him. Dont like the Birxhall pick, just him in a slow decline, might just make top 10 defenders but only going to go down in value.
Mids - like, most of us will have those similar premiums, im avoiding libba but can see good reasons why a lot of people have him. Thomas and myers underpriced, and will depend on how good the rookies look.
Ruck - Big money spent here, but can set and forget. Could also save some cash here though potentially.
Fwd - like wingard, like D . Smith, could average 100 next year. dont like barlow, think neale took a lot of his points with his improvement and think barlow might be on the decline, or at least becoming more of a role player than full time mid. Not big on lamb for langford, 2 on field spots for guys i wouldnt be sure will plqy more than 50% of games.
Overall i like it, but would look at downgrading a ruck and changing out birchall and barlow.
cant get Simpson off the bench for some reason
(http://i68.tinypic.com/lkspz.jpg)
Nice spread
Same fwd line setup as mine, I'm happy to take the punt of Leuy at F3
If a 4 solid def rookies are available rd1 i would downgrade Malceski and turn Myers into Libba
how much cash left? seems like you'd have a fair bit!
Same rucks as me so i like!
Really like the team mate!
Got to wait for nab to judge malceski

drop adams, drop simpson, pick up simpson, pick up adams
also McVeigh just got off crutches so watch him closely
the system is telling you...don't field Simpson. ;D
Im assuming you have a lot of cash left over!? Anyways id personally prefer another premium forward instead of the 5 premium defenders but that's just my opinion. Good looking team there mate!

well there are way more forward rookies to like then in defense
liking this team better more even spread
(http://i67.tinypic.com/33tibmu.jpg)
This is a very good team. Maybe downgrade Hoper to a cheaper player and Mills to Crouch?
You got Libba in there, that's why it looks better ;)
cheers guys
the 2nd half of each line is determined by rookies named round 1 anyway
wondering if this defense is worth not having Goldy
(http://i66.tinypic.com/xp3gbk.jpg)
Why Rosa?
Can he average 95 and be one of the best defenders?
No.
Will his price rise by more than 150K and be worth it as a cow?
No.
Not worth having.
So you prefer something like this?
so do i actually
(http://i67.tinypic.com/2hd0fwh.jpg)
Great side you have there mate. Would be trying to get Crouch in though.
Love you side. I have gone the same top four mids but have gone crouch instead of Libba.
I also like your F3, I reckon Merrett is going to have a great season and go to the next level
i doubt i will be starting Crouch is to injury prone have watched him closely for last 2 years cause i had him in BXV

great team fj. maybe consider greene for zerrett, understand crouch reasoning and will save you atrade over the rest if he doesnt last. zorko likely to avg 100 but martin or bennell likely to get 110+
Appreciate your comments on my team

Nice defence
Strong mids, understand your reasoning for Crouch, been thinking the same myself, but still have him in for now and hoping he'll last the first 8-10 weeks at least
Strong rucks, nice
Forwards look alright
How much cash left?
Do you have much cash left KB. Reason for asking is you will initially with this team be relying on 6 rookies and Kennedy to play each week which may be a bit of risk but then may pay off big time if they rise quickly.
With Fyfe back injury need to monitor as well. Nice team though
Like most of the premium picks, not sure about Hurley or Zorko, only ones I don't see as great picks. Main issue I see with this team is relying on 13 pretty much bottom prices rookies, 5 of them on the field each week. Very likely you will have to sacrifice a premium to get 300-400k to upgrade some of these I think.
With Fyfe doubtful and at that price tag he is hard to justify. Shaw is an excellent pick but at the price tag you're scraping elsewhere. With Goldy you've done it again...I can see why he's a must have.
My advice would be to get some cash back from Fyfe and play further with your forwards.
which structure do u guys prefer notice Deledio on the bench with team B no matter what i do he gets moved onto the bench for some reason when i click save lol

Had the same problem, remove two fwd rookies then hit save, then add them back in and hit save again, worked for me

I just wanted to make fun of Lids on the bench...like team 1 cause mids go deeper, better rucks, Heater nullifies Lids....well he's better actually because he's on the ground lol....oops did it again ;)
;)
I like team 2 mate. I would consider trading Birchall down to Seedsman and then Oliver up to Brad Crouch
But as usual your teams are always quality, any thoughts on Toby Greene for 2016 ?? Hate to quote such famous words, but
" I had a dream " :) ;D ::)

cheers bro i usually have shocking luck with injuries though lol
Zerrett is a better choice then Greene imo
best choices under 500k in order imo are
Zerrett
Robbo
Edwards
Smith
Greene
Motlop
interesting team
midfield is weakish but i don't mind it as not sure who else i want to start
(http://i67.tinypic.com/wirgxk.jpg)
i think this team could post some big scores early
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2whnx5f.jpg)
Anyone heard anything further on Wells playing - how has he been training?
Think Dec 31 team is very good. Great depth on fwds best rucks and considered mids with cashcow generation to come from rookies. Good selection of midpricers in Def.
Well done.
Dont like wells and anderson in d4/5 in latest team and would consider KK instead of Yeo.
made this team for lols after reading eaglemans theory that there wont be any rookies this year
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2vvnbyo.jpg)
Haha I've done the same thing, its not the worst team, you would probably start really strong but fade away later unless you had a perfect run with injuries.
I'm thinking of trying this in AF with the unlimited trades, it's my first year so I don't really care if I crash and burn
Haha I am not saying there won't be any rookies ... I just feel that overall the competition for spots will be greater than in previous years ...
I even looked at best 22 for lions blues saints and demons and even that has me slightly concerned.
If u check my side currently I have the same placeholder rookie set up that most have

very good team KB. i like it very much. unsure on robbo pick put could b a great POD
Looking good mate
What are your thoughts on Aish and Merrett? I can't see Aish making enough money to be worth it and I don't really see Merrett's scores improving either with the lack of support

i highly rate Zerrett man his lowest score was 69 was last year very consistent predicting top 10 forward for him this year doesn't really have any flaws
about Aish it will depend on rookies available if i start him and how he goes in nab i could get a rookie instead and upgrade someone tp Shaw
See 12-15 keepers which is good
Zerrett + Robbo good pods it will be interesting to see the impact of Bastinac and Bell on him which I doubt will be any.
Birchal although reliable is on the decline and i would consider a swap for him
current team which i'm pretty happy with like 45k left
(http://i63.tinypic.com/16gfv29.jpg)
Nice team KB, looks real good. No Dusty is interesting though.
Not a fan of the McKenzie & Merrett selections, think you should bring in Deledio and pick another backline rookie, there should be plenty to choose from, Hartley for example. Don't like the Dea pick either, he had plenty of chances at Richmond and proved himself to be nothing more than a a bush footballer.
And surely Martin deserves a gig over Robbo? Dusty is a gun who is good enough to win a Brownlow, non negotiable.
Dea is mostly a place holder
i don't like the life issues that come with Dusty
backing Zerrett to be a top 10 forward

Good man KB... season low of 73 last year, with natural improvement- has a big ceiling too. I like it!
changed team up after hearing Wells and Fyfe are doing well and this team gives me a boner

He's probably not the worst pick.
What are people expecting from guys like Mills, Hopper, Francis, Parish? 75-80? any more and you're dreaming.
If Crowley can average 55-60 tagging every week there is no reason why he could push towards 80 if he playing as a normal mid

literally 1k lol if i need extra would get Malceski or Salem instead of Bob
really it's kind of Tippett at R2 but going with the theory Michael will make more cash and score better then the forward rookies

As a key position player I think he will struggle to match the output of the other rookies. The volatility of having 2 KP players in prime positions is a recipe for disaster, Tippett could score 35 one week and if Grimely has an off day you're Garnier Fructus.

You're stylish KB ;D
I like the bold move of a rookie at R2. Could be genius if you get away with it.
It does allow you to get away with more premos in fwd/def and that's always handy.
If you decide against the rookie ruck starting, who are you looking at to replace him and how would that affect the rest of your team? Would you go lighter up forward or down back?
