Here is my justification for the three midfield rookie strategy:

I have picked 10 forwards and backs, one ruck and 3 mids who i will not change throughout the year. People gambling on midpricers will eventually have to upgrade them by years end, especially if they have gone bad, but still sometimes even if they are doing well it still worth upgrading. Take Rorey Slone for example (since alot of people are jumping on him), perhaps for now he will be posting 100-110 scores but once every four weeks he scores a 75 and you suck it up. Your laughing at all those people who decided to bolster their team with rookies, but then halfway through the season, when i have 6 true premiums in my team vs your 5 (maby 4) + Rorey slone, who will be laughing then. You will then have to frantically look for a downgrade target (who at the end of the season will play maybe 1 every 3 games and be quite unreliable cover) and waste a trade upgrading to what u could have fixed at the start of the season.

You would have to take a cheep midpricer fwd or back (or even get another forward or back rookie) to cover the cash to get a fourth (or even fifth) mid

Also when the season reaches halfway through you will be looking for downgrade targets, yes there might be some in the forward line or in the backline, but history tells us that the midfield is rife with mid season downgrades. So while your looking to downgrade your five forward (and options may be limmited) rookies i will have an endless supply of mid season downgrades at my disposal.

Now if you want to talk about scores which rookies are likely to post up the best? The key position back or forwards? Not likely. I would be confident in saying that Midfield rookies put up the best scores (of the rookies), therefore wouldn't you want your team to be filled with midfield rookies, and not key position forwards and backs who post 40's each week.

Ur team looks really solid over the ground. I like this strategy cause it makes the whole team look really solid. You have to make the right rookie selections with it however and im not to sure on ur mid rookies. Shiels is in doubt to play round one alongside magner(although he probs will) Mcdonald may be a regular vest target and pieffer hasnt shown much this preseason. besides that it looks good, especially ur defense

yeh ill be having a closer look at the rookies until round 1, and if their going to vest mcdonald im shore it wont be at the start of the season, i reckon he will be my first downgrade, probs when he hits about 250k

team looks really solid, my only suggestion would be to change some of your mid rookies other than that looks really good
strategy could pay off for you good luck :)
