Any hints/tips?

Not sure if serious, not a good team at all.

Maybe best look here for help first.

Not sure either whether this is serious team or not as it is lacking real prems.

Goodes Scotland should be in their correct lines - Need to get Ablett, Swan, Pendles, Dal Santo or Selwood in mids.

Defence Otten and Duigan better options available.

Rucks Bellchambers not even main ruck at Essendon.

Forwards start again.

Rating 3.5/10

safest and best way to pick a team is to observe a few points.

1. GUN / ROOK strategy is safest and works best (unless you get mid priced picks right which is risky)

gun/rook strategy works like this

DEF: 4 gun rest rooks
RUCK: 2 gun 2 rook
MID; 4 gun 4 rook
FWD: 4 gun rest rook

now 2 of those guns will need to be a fait bit cheaper than the super guns to fit you in under the salary cap, like brown or christensen dangerfield in the fwd line. And grimes, waters,grima,lake , conca types in defence, barlow hayes types in the mids.

2. pay attention to this years bye rounds and who has what bye and as a general rule [for premium/keeprs only] try to only have 2 of each type (1 of ruck) on the same bye round in each line.

3. As Ringo says, players who are MID/FWD or MID/DEF, should only be in the FWD or DEF, they never score as well as the elite MID only players which are the ONLY MID premiums you want in your midfield, if you want DPP use rooks, brown from adelaide is good for DEF and Zorko from Brisbane or hampton or treloar from GWS are good for FWD.

4. research players and look at what other coaches on this site are doing, but dont just copy, then look for info on the players they have and decide if you agree.

some helpful links to get you started.
