Ok so haven't done a lot of research so struggling a bit to structure, keep second guessing myself as to best option. At the moment my team is:

DEF: Lloyd, Whitfield, Smith, Ridley, Clark, Duursma ...... Burgess, Hore
MIDS: Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Martin, B.Crouch, Walsh, Butters, Constable, ...... Scott, Atkins, Gibbons
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn ...... Fort
FWD: Dangerfield, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Balta ...... Drew, Parker
$192k left

So my struggles at the moment are

Def - torn between laird/lloyd and hurn/smith.
Mid - Possibly was going to go sheed, that would require a martin downgrade.
Ruck - Set and forget is the best way I think
Fwd - Not sold on greene, he is so injury and suspension prone, I could go straight to gray and leave myseld 20k but don't see him in any teams. Is he injured? Are the new rules going to play against him?

Any help would be good

Lloyd and Llaird are unknown if they can back it up along with whitfield role changes are risky

if u went Witherden and Williams instead u could get in another keeper like Hurn if u like him

Money Shot

Prefer Laird over Lloyd but think value is the way to go down back this season.

Sheed would be a good pick but not worth downgrading a premium for.

Greene I am all over personally but Gray isn’t a bad pick either.

Thats exactly what I am doing down back + add Mills in there.

Thanks for the info guys,

So after a bit of tinkering I have come up with the following:

DEF: Lloyd, Hurn, Smith, Ridley, Clark, Duursma ...... Burgess, Hore
MIDS: Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Martin, Neale, Walsh, Butters, Constable, ...... Scott, Atkins, Gibbons
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn ...... Fort
FWD: Dangerfield, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Balta ...... Drew, Parker
$22k left

Whitfield -> Hurn ... heard about the possibility of Whitfield being swung fwd a bit so went to Hurn
B.Crouch -> Neale ... get in another premo

That is the only real thing left for me to decide, start with 5 premo mids and leave myself 22k. Or start a B.Crouch/Sheed in place of Martin/Neale and give myself roughly 190k.
Not sure which is better, the premo or the extra coin to shuffle players if need?
Realistically sheed or crouch have potential to score well so could maybe leave myself cash?

MIDS: Macrae, Cripps, Oliver, Martin, Neale, Walsh, Butters, Constable, ...... Scott, Atkins, Gibbons
RUCK: Grundy, Gawn ...... Bines
FWD: Dangerfield, Heeney, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Balta ...... Drew, Parker
$36k left

Ok so my team is essentially this now (of course depending rookie selections)
Only dilemma I have now is do I keep it as is and leave myself ~$36k
Or go martin/neale to B.Crouch and have ~$180k

Would neale/martin outscore crouch by enough compared to the extra cash he'll make? Then can trade to martin/neale if they fall in price? Or do I leave it as is and rely on rookies getting me the cash and keep the extra10-15ppg that neale/martin score over crouch?
