P.S. I only managed to squeeze 13 keepers into my side. Not that I used this formula but I did a cross reference with my team and I only have 4 players that aren't on the list and 1 of them is Shiel who for some reason isn't there.

[hannebery2rohan]

well given the list they gave you it's possible. i chose the bottom players in each category of the list, but who's going to start with a team of;

d: enright, birchall, yarran, adcock, morris, bugg, spurr - (darley, smedts)
m: hayes, cotchin, bartel, watson, magner, mcdonald - (smith, ledger)
r: maric, macintosh - (stephenson, redden)
f: dangerfield, j.riewoldt, sidebottom, hurley, n.riewoldt, dickson, hall - (kennedy, cameron)

that comes in at $8.7m. so.... i replaced the bottom 2 of each category with some random ones nearer the top and came up with....

d: goddard, deledio, enright, birchall, morris, bugg, spurr - (darley, smedts)
m: ablett, swan, bartel, watson, magner, mcdonald - (smith, ledger)
r: leuenberger, mcevoy - (stephenson, redden)
f: goodes, fyfe, sidebottom, hurley, n.riewoldt, dickson, hall - (kennedy, cameron)

and that comes in at $9.97m....... depends on your taste really, but overall, it's not *that* bad of a team given the list they gave you. and it depends on whether or not you think a lot of those like hurley, mcevoy etc... are premiums. :p

[upthemaidens]

yeah i think its abit off, its not like u can pick just any off the list..
  pick the 15 best and you'll have under a million left to buy the remaining 15 rookies
so u can get 15 "premiums"(i.e.keepers) but they wont be the cream of the crop  and 2nd rate premiums dont interest me unless i feel a big improvement(breakout) in the coming year
