First thing you need to consider is how many of these blokes will be the top scorers in their respective positions? I'd say maybe Gawn, maybe Bont, maybe Kennedy. That's a problem as it will be impossible to trade your way to elite performers.

Defence - need Shaw, Docherty, Adams, Montagna or Laird. Howe I also like if you feel like a bit of a gamble.

Mids - Danger, Pendles, JPK, Selwood, Hanners, Rocky, Sloane, Zorko (110+ should be your aim)

Rucks - Gawn is an ok bet but he's riskier than say Pendles. This is the line for mid pricers.

Forwards - NRoo, Buddy, Greene, Macrae, Dahlhaus, (Higgins & Ryder I like also)

Start picking your team with a view of having an unlimited salary cap and then work from there. Best of the best to start.

Agree with Bully here -

With only 30 trades you need to make sure that you have a number of players you will be retaining all year. Most will have 10/12 definite with possibly another 3/4 mid pricers who may be retained. In your team I can see only 5/6 who would be definite keepers.

Have a look at other teams posted here to see how they are structured and then work out what suits you.  Bully has given you a list of possible contenders to consider.
