$26k left over


Think I'm pretty well set, obviously guys such as Caddy, Watts particularly and Swallow May not pan out, rookies subject to change particularly back and forwards based on who gets picked round 1. Contemplating Libba -> rookie and Watts/Swallow to genuine premiums as I feel it's much easier to make money in the midfield, have been burned by this in the past though as premium mids usually need at least 2 and usually 3 cash cows cut down. Anyway I'd love some suggestions for improvements, probably not enough uniques I feel but let me know your thoughts and rate /10 and I'll do the same for your teams. Cheers

Don't get sucked into picking unique players just because. There's a reason why no one else rates them. Watts, Swallow are real gambles, Watts reminds me of the great white hope of boxing, lots of promise but it aint gonna happen.

26k left over?
have you a plan if Cameron, Buckley or McCarthy aren't named round one? I know there subject to change but make sure you can afford the alternatives.  Have a plan B before round one.

I'd downgrade Thomas to aish and then upgrade watts to someone like Simpson, hibberd or hanley.
Dale Thomas won't be a mid keeper by years end, and aish is going to generate more cash for you. Otherwise solid team

Think I have enough cash to switch them all for other rookies who will be picked. Have already switched Buckley for Crouch which frees up another 16k

Dixon is an extremely risky pick at F3.

I've said it in a lot of other RMT's that I don't like a mid pricer in the midfield. Daisy won't be a keeper nor will he make enough cash to upgrade to a super premo. Either replace him with a Premo or a Rookie- whichever fits your structure/strategy better.

Hickey and Sandi are too risky IMO- Hickey needs to become a premo.

Id only go with one of Swallow/Watts and upgrade the other to a premo who you can keep at seasons end.

Then you have to make sure you have enough $ left to change rookies if they are not named.

Well unfortunately mate the salary cap is 10 mil. Dixon is insurance against Sandi going down

[AaronKirk]

fair enough.

still may need to look at rookies though- Derickx is an emergency, buckley not named and impey on the extended bench for Port.

[MCGtigs]

Don't mind the side just worried about hickey and Dixon in particularly.

Good midfield though!
