Will there be any forward rookies playing round 13 so next week I can downgrade Macaffer?

I'm in this exact position, really want to downgrade Caff so as i can upgrade Brown to a Hanley this week or next (depending on whether he is at rock bottom or not). There doesn't seem to be many options, one that comes to mind is Hitchcock but i have no insight on his JS or anything really do do with him..... Anyone know anything about this guy, had a respectable first game in Rnd 11 which saw him score 60.

Burbury is one if he gets named round 13

Yep, I'll be jumping on if named, probably won't be any other forward rookies worth looking at.

Matt Spangher scored 84 in his first match then had the bye could be another great option

I don't see the point in picking any forward rookies, the midfield rookies should be enough cash generation for the entire season. Upgrade the forwards, as opposed to downgrading. Ultimately, your depth players should be more reliable than guys who may only churn 50-60 points and then get dropped.

Spangher would be a great option for that price, but his shaky JS means he won't play enough games for a good price rise

He's 22, so he's no youngster, but he is such a slight build, at 176cm and 75kg he is fairly limited in the impact he can have upon matches at this stage until he add a few string to his bow. But give him credit he goes at a goal a game which is a promising start, I can't see his JS being to great tbh though.
