300k is ridiculous for a first-year player even if he is the first overall pick.

I remember back when guys like Scully and David Swallow were like 160k to start off the season.

Acres is a LOCK.

Newnes and Savage get DEF status as most expected.

Not sure how Tom Curren gets DPP played a couple games as a defensive forward at the end of the year but I don't think it was enough to get DPP.

I guess the upside is that high prices for early draft picks gives an advantage to people who are prepared to do their research. Some non serious coaches load up on first round picks because they assume they will score better, but we all know this is not necessarily the case.

In this day and age where AF's unlimited trades mean we end up with a lot of very similar teams, I see this a a way serious coaches can get an advantage...

Anyone remember what the top picks started at last year? I like that top picks are more expensive. 300k for a key fwd is a bit silly tho. If it was 300k for Brayshaw/Petracca then it wouldn't be so bad

i would say it is a big difference it's like a 25% price increase for no apparent reason and Goddard is worth as much as a top 10 pick last year :-X

Its only 15% mate and not that bad at all. Its making the game harder which is a good thing. Can't complain about it being too easy when they bring in unlimited trades, and then complain when they make it harder

Some good news for my XVs teams (assuming these changes carry over across all comps).

Wasn't directed at yourself or anyone in particular man. I know I had a whinge about the initial changes when they came out too. We need to look at AF as not being DT anymore or anything similar but a completely different game

These prices make guys that get discounts that didn't play last year extremely valuable
