Midfield young gun or higher priced player

[Statman79]

What are your thoughts on this?
Is it better to have a young gun (ie, Rich, Ziebell) as your 6th midfielder (most likely to play most games) and score around 40, 50, 60 points each week + go up fair bit in value and have another 2 rookies on the bench OR
have a more higher priced player as 6th midfielder to score 60, 70, 80 points each week with 2 rookies (Rich, Ziebell on bench)?
With rookie on field, can save extra money to upgrade other players, have 3 possible money earner trades later on but score less points or try for extra points and have two possible money earners for trades.

Its a hard one to quantify unitl you do the sums.
Explore both of your theories and assess what price you think players will peak at. Work out who you would upgrade to.
Work out some average scores over the period before you start to trade.
One scenario should standout over the other.
Remember you only have 20 trades, they are gold.
Hope that helps.
