Highly Selected Players

[RaisyDaisy]

I think it's legit concern this year - deciding on how many top end players to start, and thinking about whether or not we should maybe start a few keepers who are a little cheaper

If we start with 12-13 keepers, then it's going to be pushing it to get a complete side with 22 prems, whilst factoring in injuries and correction trades

Most of us want to start 4 600k+ mids, but maybe we need to look at starting 2-3 and starting 1-2 guys in the 500-600k range

Same down back, maybe look at starting 1 500k+, 1 450k+ guy and Docherty?

I think it's a real thing to consider - because if we can start with 14 keepers somehow, that will certainly make getting a full side of 22 keepers more achievable

Selecting premium mids in the 500-600k range is a recipe for disaster IMO

Unless it's an underpriced superstar returning from injury, players in the 500-600k range tend to drive you insane averaging 95-100 whilst anchoring down your M8 position all season eg. Matt Crouch or Dusty in 2019.

There is the occasional diamond (ie. Bont 2019), but it's a massive gamble attempting to successfully nail the right guy.

Personally, I wouldn't be going any cheaper than Oliver at 593k.

Yeah, if I was to go cheaper it would be in def or fwd - since posting that I just cannot see a single mid under Oliver that interests me

Tim Kelly

With TK, Gaff and Yeo it seems pretty hard to determine which of them is going to be the best, hence I wouldn't start them - just wait and see and look to bring them in later if they warrant it

Think I'd rather roll the dice on Conigs at 549k if I am forced to start someone cheaper than Oliver

Same logic for Bulldogs? Or willing to gamble? Also byes is a consideration

Yeo ^^^ if I was going 6 prems he’d be next in for sure.

Just can’t ditch any of the 5 guys I have in front of him.

I have Yeo at M6 hoping I'm not absolutely nuts.

Now Wallis is back in the team, does he get midfield minutes or stop dunks and bont playing forward
