First year supercoach, any chance of a few tips on my team so far?

Hey everyone, new to this so would appreciate any help you can offer in terms of my team so far. I realise I may have too many rookies and may have to assess form and who will be getting a game (regularly) as the season gets closer. Also, wondered on the likelihood of players like Ablett & Pendles dropping in value and jumping on then? Should I go for more cash cow options to upgrade later on?

Backs: Goddard/Deledio/Birchall/Broughton/Yarran/M.Clarke/Smedts (Bugg/Morris)
Midfield: M.Murphy/J.Selwood/J.Watson/Masten/Lucas/Wingard (Shiel/Morabito)
Rucks: Naitanui/Kreuzer (Giles/Stephenson)
Forwards: Rioli/D.Martin/Zaharakis/Sidebottom/Dangerfield/Zorko/Rowe (Couch/Panos)

Too many risks in your team.

Can I suggest this strategy for you.  We have a cap of $10m

Select the ideal you team you wish to achieve going into finals.  Look at this team and then select 12/15 prems with no more than 2 prems in each line with the bye.  Fill Team with rookies lower priced prems. Trades are made throughout the season to reach your ideal team. In my case Clifton may become Swan/Pendles.
Select the best rookies available and are playing as you desire them to become cash cows.

You have something to work with in your existing team but  no obvious permanent Captain Abllett/Pendles and no Franklin in the orawrds.   This will place you behind the eight ball.

No seriously  ;D.

I would definitely have Buddy. I think he could make a huge impact and if you don't have him you'll be behind from the start. If he flops, then you'll be OK because he'll be in most teams anyway.

Same story with GAJ.

Pendelbury has polarised the masses. Some think he is a must. Others think he is too $$$ initially. I don't have him...yet. He'll drop!

Yarran, Masten, Morabito, Rowe and Dangerfield are not on my radar for various reasons.

Rucks a bit risky too IMO.

You have potentially 15 keepers but quiet a few are not super elite so your spread may be too even leaving you fewer points and less cash to be made.

Well balanced overall though.

Good luck with the itch.
