Or just choose them all
Has this year been an anomaly in regard to not a lot of good rookie DEF's & FWD's coming through? Or is this the usual thing and the best SC strategy is to stack the living s**t out of your FWD and DEF line's as the MID rookies are much easier to upgrade to Premo's?
Depends if your going for wins Or Over all if over all you likley to be chasing tail.Has this year been an anomaly in regard to not a lot of good rookie DEF's & FWD's coming through?

There will be some cheap def next season if you go cheap down back need to nail the forward line and have some of the best mids going.Many different strategies
Def rooks looked thin this season
Need to find a balance
Fwiw my 2015 plan is one prem def and all def rookies.
Defence just SUX
Only started with 3 premo mids (One of those was Beams) Made plenty of cash, missed out on Langford & KK though. However the big problem I had was having so many injuries in my DEF & FWD's at the start that put me on the back foot.I think next season I'll stack the mids with premiums & pick up DEF & FWD's on the cheap.Has this year been an anomaly in regard to not a lot of good rookie DEF's & FWD's coming through?

If you started this season with Malceski(498k) B Smith(407k) Swallow(375k) Suckling (314k) Jeansch(295k) Langdon (117k) Litherland (117k) Gardinder 117k) you'd be laughing.
My estimate is $737,400.Will be interesting to see how much Ablett is.
Note also that this is only the second year of a 6/8/2/6 split.Has this year been an anomaly in regard to not a lot of good rookie DEF's & FWD's coming through?

Back in the days of 7/6/2/7 you had to really search for value in the forwards and backs.
Nowhere else to really post this.
Brad Crouch should get the injury discount I think. Locked in my midfield.
Harley Bennell if Fwd/Mid. Might get him if just Mid anyway
Big Kreuzer will be the Sandi of 2014 I should think.
will be interesting to see who gets dual position status.
Selwood and Zaharakis would be near locks for me if they get Mid/Fwd, and i'd be looking very hard at Bontempelli if he gets it as well.
as far as rookies go, Petracca and Brayshaw are locks from day 1 if they land in the right situation.
Alec Waterman looks handy for what will likely be 125k ish
Macrae - but he needs to slow down now and play a few spud games, otherwise too expensive
If Watson doesn't play another game this year could be sub 450k
Kreuzer and Crouch looking like locks
Also don't mind Andrew Walker as has been much below his standards this year and confirmed out for the season
B. Jack as a high-priced rookie, as long as he keeps starting as sub or doesn't get games. Yet to see that 150+ pre-season score transfer to the season proper.
Daniel Rich - not sure what price he'd start at.
400k+ - probably not
<400k - mmmm, interested depending on his preseason
Ben Reid..
Locked in
Ryan Griffen would be sub-500k based on his current ave of 88.
(Murph & Beams were priced at ~498k, based on 92 pts)
Hopefully he could get over his back complaint and have an un-interrupted preseason.
I don't care if Luke Parker loses DPP, he will be locked in the guts for me. Outstanding player.
Guthrie has shown steady improvement since he came into the league and I can't see why it won't continue. If he's a Defender in 2015 he'll be top 8-10. Would love it if he was a D/M.
Swan apparently been carrying injuries all year. Will be a mid-pricer next year if he doesn't improve on his current 89 ppg average.
Scharenberg and Freeman will be extremely cheap next year.
Jon Griffin could be an interesting one if either Sandilands or Clarke gets injured and he's fit. (averaged 101 in 2011 and 91 in 2012)
Kreuzer and Leuey could both be the new Sandilands
Walters, Ben Reid if cheap enough should be worth considering
Matt Crouch is a lock as he will be a cheap premium and should average 105+
If Daniel Menzel finally gets on the track will be rookie priced
Jesse Hogan, Scharanberg and Nathan Freeman will all be cheaper rookies than they are now
Alex Johnson will be rookie priced
Beau Waters (if he decides to play on and gets fit for once) will be under 300k
Brandon Jack will be an expensive rookie although has potential for good scoring if he gets full games (pumped out a 160 in the NAB cup)
Food for thought
HehNathan Bock - remember him...could be priced around $60,000 after multiple injury discounts
BontempelliWho's everyone's bet for the 2nd year breakout in SC?
It happened to Bennell, it happened to Wingard, it happened to Macrae.
My money's on Billings fwiw.
Yep - Sidebottom, ROK and Dangerfield were the three that smashed it for me in the forwards.7/6/2/7? with 2 bench as well? Wow. That would've been difficult. Were DPP as prevalent?
Fair call. Although in fairness if he is to be considered a "breakout player" the way he's going he'd have to close to elite status lol.Bontempelli

For strategy purposes I reckon he will be made MID only.Don't see why he wouldn't be a Fwd option next season, he still plays a lot of footy as a high half-forward.
It didn't stop them making McVeigh, Mitchell and Dangerfield DPP. Can't really remember times where they've made someone MID only to stop everyone from picking them.For strategy purposes I reckon he will be made MID only.
In 2014 the following (among others) lost DPP and became mids only:It didn't stop them making McVeigh, Mitchell and Dangerfield DPP. Can't really remember times where they've made someone MID only to stop everyone from picking them.
