Money Shot 2018

[SilverLion]

Like your premiums Money.  Structure sound. Just need to hope we get some decent rookies starting Rd 1.

Yep, only pick im not confident in is Brayshaw but he has another chance to impress me in his final JLT.

+1 to that

[Money Shot]

with the mid pricers all looking sound I thought I would try something different, at first I was just playing around but the depth in this side is ridiculous.

Laird, Hibberd, Simpson, Savage, C. Ellis, Doedee (Keefe, Mirra)
Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Redden, Libba, O'meara, Armitage, Griffen (Kelly, Barry, Worpel)
Goldy, Gawn (Olango)
Heeney, Walters, Smith, Sicily, Bundy, Fritsch (Dawson, Garlett)

Is this doomed to fail or is it a stroke of genius?

Not bad at all. Needs a more reliable C/VC option i.e. Danger/Titch.

Is that quite enough rookies to make money?
If u downgrade Ellis and Armitage to rookies and upgrade Cripps to Danger.
May have enough left to get Billings in for Sicily for less risk.

Or choose one of Libba/Redden and keep Sicily/Cripps, other to Danger?

[Ringo]

No Dusty, Titch or Martin the obvious if you could get one of those three in there think it would be sound. Fyfe will be good but do not think he will give you the captains score one of these 3 will.

[frenzy]

thats nearly my team  ;D

I will say though that mid pricers are a lot easier to upgrade/downgrade/sideways than cheap rookies that have'nt made any cash.

I really hope i dont have the balls to start a team like this hahaha

Extremely similar to mine posted this afternoon, but managed to squeeze Dusty in with a cheaper defence. Seriously considering running with something like this. Think Dusty/Fyfe should be good enough for C/VC loophole. Like others said, I'd be adding another solid captain option

Doomed to fail haha

Whilst none of the mid pricers are bad options individually; collectively selecting that many means you won't have enough guaranteed top 10s on any line as well as not enough rookies making cash. Also, with that many, it seems inevitable that at least a couple would backfire.

100% agree with you and im glad someone said it.

[Money Shot]

Spent the last hour playing around with my team and have come up with this.

Laird, Hibberd, Tuohy, Ellis, Doedee, Finlayson (Miochek, Mirra)
Danger, Mitchell, Dusty, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, O'meara, Barry (Kelly, Worpel, Holman)
Goldy, Gawn (Olango)
Heeney, Walters, Smith, Christensen, Fritsch, Ryan (Garlett, Langdon)

got no money left, Tuohy down too Sicily is something I would do if i need cash.

Coniglio I like more than Redden/Libba but that could change
O'meara i like more than Armitage/Griffin but that could change.

thoughts??? really starting to like the look of my side.

[ubeaut]

Yeah I like.
Good structure. You've fit all top 3 mids in and Fyfe. Cripps, Coniglio, JOM the value picks. Mids are deep without sacrificing other areas well done.
I think Coniglio and Redden better bets for 105 than Libba.
JOM over Griff/Armo more opportunities to score in the guts and has youth on his side. All are injury risks so can't split them there.
Same F1- 4 as me so can't fault that!
Only thing that stands out is Touhy. So many guns for points to go round at the Cats, although no Mackie/Lonegran only helps him.
The breaker is he gives u 8 players out round 14. Not sure who comes in for him if u haven't got cash to upgrade.
If u could somehow squeeze a few bucks elsewhere maybe Simmo or Sicily as u suggested (I have him but not sold).

[SilverLion]

I should have patented the JOM at M7 structure haha.

Side looks good though MS, same issue as me though with funds, also gotta be open to being flexible depending on rookies and whether or not Ellis shapes up as a solid pick.

[crowls]

Nice side MS,  not sold that walters/smith will get the mid minutes they need.   McLean is a fwd lock for me,
I have goldy gawn rucks and see goldy being a very reliable 2200 points for the year with all upside over that.

[Bully]

Looks good in theory & I'm hanging out hope that you will be able to field two forward rookies but................reality is you will probably have to strengthen that line at the expense of your defence. Sicily is the obvious choice.

By my estimations you have 5 x Midpricers (Players $200k - $500k)
Tuohy ranked 12th total points / 16th for average points DEF in 2017
Ellis ranked 8th for total points / 12th for average points DEF in 2017
I don't think either of them will crack the top 6 DEF in 2018 so why pick them? You'll lose points to opponents with higher ranked defenders, unless you trade them out, in which case you are burning precious trades.
I cannot see Coniglio going top 8 MID so as above applies.
JOM is a massive trap.  I bet my ballsack he will be managed through the season.
Smith is tempting, I think he could go top 6 FWD so he's worth a punt I think.
Christenson is overhyped, he will not crack the top 6 FWD, won't even go close, so IMO not a keeper and as such will need to be traded out at some point.
I try to stick to some golden rules in SC, only pick rolled gold premiums, only pick 1 or max 2 mid pricers.
