Good cash generation, I've done something similar for RDT, but with unlimited trades in Fantasy its not as important I don't think, but not a bad option really as you can prob have a slightly stronger back and forward line, however you miss out on Daisy who will not be far off a keeper for the season.

Who do you have on your bench then??

I got polec and ellis both on my bench with Daisy at M5 followed by Dunstan, Tyson and Beams

Bench is beams and wanganeen at the moment... Still needs to be elevated

I'm doing a similar thing.
There a lots of good rookie priced mids this year with potentials to avg 70+ compared to very little in fwd and def so it makes sense to load up those other 2 lines and play an extra rookie or two in the mids for cash generation.

Exactly my thought process!

Only fielding 1 first year player in the backline (mcdonald) and then i have jed lamb at F6 but in my midfield i am fielding 3 rookie priced players

So I see it could be viable to drop Thomas at M6 and go with Polec michie and Ellis at M6 M7 M8

Definitely viable, but you'd prob want to go with as many keepers as you can in the fwd line and back line to minimise upgrade trades.  When I've made my team I tend to count how many players I will need to upgrade before seasons end.  Also depends what your aim is. League win or overall?  If it's overall then by having a weaker mid line than others you might fall a bit behind in scoring, but for league win money is key to maximising your teams value and strength.

I was thinking this option

Michie, Beams Ellis (Polec, Cunningham)

Jigsaw

Crouch, Michie, Polec, Ellis are in my side so far in Fantasy.

Looking at Martin, Aish, Polec, Ellis, Dunstan and Crouch for Real DT
