Money Shot 2017

[Money Shot]

Really like the set up stacking the midfield and setting the rucks. Early on in the season that will still get you plenty of points.

I think you need one of either Taranto or Ainsworth. I haven't really kept up with pre-season so forgive me if they're not fully fit.

My pick out of those would be Ainsworth simply because he's more likely to play round one.


It's probably the best year for a long time to stack up on rookies so hope it pays off with the ones you select.

Goodluck!

Cheers mate.

Taranto is no where near best 22 in my opinion but he will deffs be on my radar if he has a strong showing in the JLT.

If I could afford Ainsworth he would be there but have decided to spend more money on the defender rookies at this stage as many 123k and below forward rookies seem like getting the nod round 1. McCluggage or Bowes could change to him come round one however.

Regardless of player selections, I far prefer the structure of Team B. Team A leaves you little flexibility as far as your mids go, and leaves you very exposed in defence (and to a lesser extent the forwards). If a player explodes (Shiel for example) and a couple of yours underperform, you're locking in some sideways trades from the get-go.

I agree. The team structure is much better. But for some reason I just feel as though I'll be losing 15-20 points a week from the get go. I can't really see any of the midfielders in my team under performing but it is a valid point. I guess it'll come down to how much money I have to spend on rookies.

Yeah agree with this, think 4 rookies on the ground in defence is a bit much, need a mid-pricer or premo at D3.

McGrath, Louge, Hampton, Scharenberg, Keefe, Berry, Hibberd, Neman, Ryan, Stewart, Long are all chances to play so I'm not too concerned at this stage.
But again valid points.

Berry won't, and don't thing Long is that close either tbh. But the thing is, how many of those guys are gonna score well? You'd want 4 of those guys averaging around 65-70 (or higher obviously :p), and from those I'd say McGrath and Logue are your only safe bets, and they've already said they'll manage McGrath into things so as not to push his body too hard.

Could pay off, but providing there are a few mid rookies, just think there is much less risk in going that extra defence premo.

Yeah I will watch JLT closely and that will help me decide my structure.

Team B is clearly safer but Team A has much better scoring potential in my opinion.

I also prefer the structure of team 2. Just to give yourself a bit more flexibility when the season is moving along. The rookies in defence and forward all seem much more likely to get good game time and the Premiums in Forwards and backs aren't that strong so it could go either way. Good luck

Thanks mate!

I prefer the premiums in team 1 but the structure of team 2 is much more safe.

[Money Shot]

Deciding to go with team 1 although it is more risky.

Trealor (115) Sloane (110) Smith (65)
Shaw (110) Gunston (95) Ainsworth (70)

Losing 15 points a week from the get go isn't doesn't sound too good.

it will come down to how confident I am in the rookies after JLT I guess.

I think I'm a bit more conservative in my estimates for scores, Shaw goes closer to 100 and Gunston 90 in my books, though as I said, it's more about structure, the premiums can all be swapped around for free for another 35-odd days.

Yeah Shaw is probably a bit high but I reckon Gunston will go 95-100. Either way stacking the midfield looks like the way to go to me

If rookies weren't a problem I'd also be all over Team 1. Treloar Sloane rookie smashes the other option.

Okay good! So it's not just me thinking that hahaha

Hopefully the JLT unearths a few more on each line.
