I look at my team and I feel nervous

[footyfan11]

Havent seen many teams adopting this kind of structure. I think this Rd 1 side will make lots of money and will mean I finish the season with a bang and hopefully will compensate for perhaps a few points lost early.

*revised team
Def: Scotland, Goddard, Shaw, Deledio, Birchall, Hargrave, Ellis (Bugg, Darley)
Mid: Pendlebury, Ablett, Selwood, Hogan, Neale, Magner (Gibson, McDonald)
Rucks: Mumford, H-mac (Redden, Giles)
Fwd: Franklin, Fyfe, Pavlich, Martin, Sidebottom, D. Smith, A. Hall (Cameron, Couch)

~ $9k remaining.

Appreciate all comments in advance and please post a link to your team so I can reciprocate the good deed.

Cheers men

Also, a little on my strategy:

I have no idea who will be #1 ruck this year. Ive had Mumford in my team all preseason, and have had Scotland out all preseason, until I figured that I know Scotland will be top 3 backs this year, whereas the rucks you only have 1 or 2 shots at choosing from a number of candidates for the top scoring ruckmen.   Therefore I will wait to assess how the big men are going and upgrade accordingly

If your gonna go that risky ruck you are going to need atleast 4 premium midfielders if not 5. Downgrade a premium from your fowards or backs and get in another premo in the mids. Verry risky tho

Perhaps.... but the money spared will not be enough to purchase a Swan/Boyd type. Am planning on getting in both Rockliff and Boyd the week following their bye and Swanny the week after. Should have a BOOM team by then

Well you could do that but you have 5 rookie mids that should score well and i see jmc as an early upgradable trade

Mids will be alot easier to upgrade then fwds and backs.

Rucks are a bit risky though with 1 premi. Alot of people are doing this but you may be playing against people with 2 premi rucks and losing up to 50 points or more that you should make back in your forwards.

If you are happy with your bye structure then your team is fine. Make sure all of your rookies are elevated and play R1. 9/10

Yeah i dont mind the 3 gun midfield structure, lot of jet rookies. Just dont like the ruck division. Maybe a bak premo to rookie then redden to a mumford/mcevoy?? Team would look much more solid then

[Mr.Craig]

It could work but if HMac and Hogan don't do what people are hoping then you might be in trouble. Pav to a rookie and Big O or Redden up to a premium would cover off a bit of risk.

Okay turry Ive had a think and I tend to agree. Reading about Goodes' annual "slow start", Ive gone Goodes > Pfeiffer and Stephensen > Mumford. Again, probably gives me more of an opportunity to make cash, assuming Pfeiffer rises in value more than Stephensen (likely).

In summary:
Goodes > Pfeiffer
Stephensen > Mumford

[turry17]

Only my opinion, if you like it then go ahead. I just think it gives you a real solid ruks with loaded baks, fowards and good cash to be made in the middle. glad i could help but :)

Yeah that looks like a pretty strong team across the board now. Not sure what you're nervous about, I'd be quite happy with that.

thanks granny. was just unsure about the 3 premo mid structure... have seen others attempt it and get shredded

[Lecras2]

I'm pretty sure you have one too many premiums in your side, the players you have breach the salary cap. Sorry if i'm wrong.
