Very high chance of a lot of similar teams

just going through the most selected players i see that i have nearly the entire top 15 players picked by other players. this is kinda getting at me. making me want to change my team around once again. should i go off popular players like gibbs and try someone like a waters or hanley ?

Well its abit like betting on the horses,, do you take the favourite and get less odds OR do you take a roughy and go for a bigger pay-out.
Players are popular for a reason, personally I dont care what other teams look like. I select the best team I can and hope all goes well....
... Then again i've never won the 50k so maybe its the wrong strategy :P

You also need to understand that with 2 trades per week, teams will change every week, thereby allowing for pod's

You always rank highly - your day will come.

I have to disagree. I think with the increased number of trades we will see more variability in starting sides this year than we have ever had.

Some will stick to their guns & rooks strategy, some will hope to cash in on undervalued players, then there are the midpricers that some will take a punt on with the insurance that the extra trades give them.....

I think the good players will have very similar finishing sides, but how we get there and how many points you rack up along the way will be quite varied IMO.

I think the top players will constantly be having fluid teams- you have these extra trades- if your team is set by round 14, why not sideways players who struggle against certain teams to players who have an easy run?

the unlimited trades went straight through me, I forgot about that. my thoughts have changed once again actually. really looking forward to sideways trading this season. should be fun
