Returning to Fantasy after a few years in the wilderness

Hey guys,

so I used to be very active on this forum maybe 4 or 5 years ago and finished in the top 300 at one point but haven't had much time for fantasy footy recently except for a couple of UF draft leagues. this year I'm gonna have much more time on my hands so am gna have a crack at it again so just wanted to get some feedback on my current team. I'd say im pretty keen on most of the team, the last few spots i was a bit unsure about are Jones, Horlin Smith and Macrae. Im tempted to drop jones to someone like Otten and downgrade Macrae to a rookie so that I could turn Horlin Smith into a premo mid again. but yeah let me know what you think :)

I'd stick with Macrea mate. Maybe Jones to a rook, your call, but good looking team. I'm noticing if people leave the big ( expensive ) guys out of the ruck, the money it saves, makes a fair bit of difference to the look of the rest of their team. Good luck mate, good to see you back

Cheers Dudge, yeah like everyone else I'm a little bit scared about a couple of the premo rucks sharing the duties. If stef is named without Archie in the side for Rd 1 I'll be running with him and if not I'll upgrade him to one of the ther premos who gets named as the solo ruck. If that's the case I'll probably end up dropping jones to a rookie to free up the cash and should have enough left to maybe upgrade horlin smith to swallow as well. about ready to sit and wait now for the teams to come out.

just having a bit of a play, If I shift Nank froward I change my team so that it boils down to a 3v3 who would you rather..

Docherty (100), Horlin Smith (70) and Macrae (95)

v

Otten (70), Parker (110) and Gawn (105)

Assuming Gawn is named without Spencer and Otten gets a crack you'd have to think the second option would score quite a bit more wouldn't you? I'v shown what i reckon they will score.

Second option will not only score more but make more money.

Im not 100% sold on Jones (have Mills who I feel a bit safer about), I like the potential of Otten if he can get a spot and keep injury free. Like youve previously said dropping to Otten and upping Horlin Smith to Swallow is a safe bet and should see him average 85+ and rise to 500k+

+1 totally agree on this one.

Yeah I think I agree with you guys too. Have made a couple of minor adjustments getting rid of Horlin Smith Jones and Docherty to bring in Otten Steven and Mills.
