Best Defender With Rd 11 Bye

[mike_3456]

I'm having trouble choosing a decent backman with a round 11 bye. Who do you think would be the best pick?

I have Adcock in my side at the moment. To be honest there aren't many options. Butler, Hanley, Murphy and Doughty are the only other options abover 350k. It isn't necessary to have a premium from each bye but you need at least two rooks in rd 11 in your side during rd 11 to get around it ok in terms of minimising donuts. I'd probably have Adcock in the team without the bye problem anyway, he is a good pick

lol rocket has hit the nail on the head really.

LolRocket is right. Also, Beau Waters has the Round 11 bye...

I wouldn touch any r11 bye top end players. Lake continues to get good press and seems to have trimmed down. For 255K your not taking much of a risk if you were to include him. With Mohr Darley an many other potentially good rookies you will have at least 2 r11 starters. Id suggest you start with more than 2 cause of all the rookies and look to upgrade/downgrade before r11 to get your structure right and set team up.
