Round 1 progressive scores

[LordSneeze]

Cannot believe people paid 535k for Rancid.      KPP,  high variability versus Def who will be spending bulk of time in mids.   

Name all these other defenders who are playing midfield not including Laird who everyone has and Adams who is a major injury risk?

Macmillan, vince, LLoyd

why would I start any of them over Rance

Maybe not them but Doch,Simo,Shaw,Laird are all capable of 105 type averages Shaw more even, at not much more of a spend than Rance.

In a year where the backs look full of high scorers why would you settle for 95 at 535k?

I don't expect there to be the 105 averages others are expecting.
Maybe 1 or 2 of Doc, Simpson, Shaw could but I don't expect Laird, Adams, Boyd, Montagna, Rance to go over 100, nor the breakouts going over 90.
I feel Rance is one of the safer options, especially with the amount of risk required on other lines.

I am not worried about Rance at all - As LS says 50 points in a half after being on 8 at HT will do me. He has a huge deviation which I Knew when I started him but banking him in to still be in Top 10 Mids.  10 100+ scores from 22 starts last year is the basis. Also CD seem to love him in SC compared to other comps eg only scored 44 in DT.

Not worried about price set up my team with premiums I suspect to be in top 10 at years end and Rance is one.

I am definitely biased.   Dont like large deviation players.   Took me 3 years to get over dusty doing me over in games I needed to win.   Since I only play one cash league and more focussed on Overall nowdays I have mellowed somewhat.   When in doubt mid over KPP for fwds and defs.  Just one of my SC rules.   This year more than others we have a lot of mid high 500k players in def to select from.    I just dont see Defs worth it for points generation compared to similar priced mids.    my starting defs are adams, laird and macmillan.   I expect macmillan to spend most of the year in mids for North and get plenty of ball.    Not a huge fan of adams as he misses a lot of games but not willing to pay for Simmo, Doc and Shaw at their prices.     Plan on having all three by  end of season though.

Well I already have Shaw and Laird and you've only named 4 premium defenders, we end up with 6 so still two other spots mate and Rance is an excellent option for one of those, nothing wrong with starting him while waiting for the others to hopefully drop in price, also couldn't just pull the 60k from anywhere to start Doch over Rance.

4/398 Doch, Marchbank, Nank & Butler

With 2 rookies locked down I'm reasonably pleased.
