Am i too thin in mids ?

[LEV]

lot of cheapys available in mids, so i loaded forward line and rucks.  Can this work ?

I reckon you are.

While your midfield will get [115x2+120+105+100+75+70+70+60] 830 points a week, including captain, mine will be getting [130x2+120+115+110+100+75+70+70] 920, based on mei predicting averages. That's 90 points per week you're missing out on; while the only other major difference in our sides, i.e. structurally, is I have Smith and Harper compared to your Maric and Martin, 75+80 vs 100+90, doesn't make up the 90 points, only 35. That's 55 points you're missing out on, imo, for having a poor-strength midfield.

Pretty good side, however. Might want to take note of Buddy's hard early draw (plays the other top 8 teams from last season in the first 7 rounds, don't know how that works; including Rivers and Glass R1 and R2).

thanks for the reply jukes :)

I'd probably prefer to go with Docherty/Frost/Heath than Vlastuin. Might just be one week, but that's 50k wasted on your bench on a non-playing player compared to a playing bloke. That 50k could turn Ablett into Swanny or Murphy into Lids/Cotch.

I havent even seens vlastuin, just noted that a lot of people have him, so thats why hes there. I might change him to docherty then.

[Jukes]

yeah you'd want all your rookies playing r1, with the possible exception of rucks.

Trade Vlas to Docherty now so he doesn't get locked into your side, then, if he isn't named but these guys are, trade him to Heath or Frost.

Use that cash to go Ablett to Swanny imo.
