Rate My Team going for League Win - ideas welcome..

Backs- Goddard, Gibbs, Broughton, Grimes, Adcock, Otten, Heppell
(Smedts, toy, poupolo)

mids- Swan, Boyd, Bartel, Polec, Swallow, Harris
(Atley, Mzungu, I.smith)

rucks- Cox, petrie
(Smith, Derickx)

Forwards- Chapman, Franklin, Green, Pavlich, Reivoldt, Rioli, Prestia
(Krakouer, Richardson,Jakobi)

Now i know i have packed my forward line withe premos, however they will be rotating through my midfield as my 4th mid. this way i can concentrate on upgrading my mids first. i am also aware of the dreaded bye rounds, but please remember i am going for a cash league win only. also my rookies are not set in stone yet im awaiting the Nab cup as alot of you are.
your input is welcome.

I like the backs and mids.

I think Sandi is a must especially if your going for a league win. He has no byes in the fantasy season. As the pre season has gone on i've found myself turned off by Petrie. But we will see how he goes. He may still find his way into my team.

You have 2 hawks in your forwards which will hurt. Personally i would turn Franklin into Higgins, M.Morton or you could go a bigger risk and take Knights.

I personally like Sylvia over Green, if he finally gets his body right he could be in for a big year. But it comes down to personal preference.

thanks for your input i may trade out franklin, however i am unconvinced on both Morton and higgins (both have not put in 22 game seasons) i like your comments about sandi not having a bye inthe league season. will look into that.. I did like the work of cox in the first nab cup match.

Not sure if your money will allow it but swing Petrie into the Forwards for either Rioli or Franklin and If your cash allows bring in Sandi in Petrie's position.

yeah solid team. I like the idea of starting 3 rookie in mids, is a risk but can pay off if they all play. Weaknesses is ur ruck. I'd go sandi over cox for now. At least that way if ur opponent has sandi, it will canceal the scores out. I think sandi cox is THE combo this year.

P.S sandi will average more than cox!

So i have swapped Petrie into the forwards and grabbed sandi. Still have 3 starting mids and have had to swap frankilin to Dangerfield and have also upgraded Adcock to Enright..
Do u guys think that Enright to Adcock is a bit of a sideways swap? after all i could have the extra 120k in the bank..

hrmm...I'd persoanlly leave Enright for now, will be a good upgrade option at later stages. Adcock declared that he is over his injuries and looking foward to a good year. Ive kept him for now but if ur keeping enright, Id suggest get grimes. Younger, 3rd year player who is ready to have a breakout year and plays like slutty Bowden.
