I believe its because averages on the site are rounded to 1 decimal place.

M3 is the only midfield position I keep fiddling with it at this stage. Not sure whether I want to run a big dog like Walsh, Zerrett, Oliver or someone like Simpkin who I see going 100+ this year
I think Merrett is looking like a great POD to start at the moment. Only in 5% of teams which seems incredibly low considering his output for a number of years. He’s currently moved into M4 for my set up.
M3 and 4 for me. I see a lot of value in guys like Simpkin, Yeo, Telly and am currently considering running 2 of them over a big dog and someone more mid pricey

Dangerfield is potentially 15-20 points underpriced at 86.

Forward line of mid-fwds and a couple of mid-defs seems like a good bet

Carlton fans, do you think Cripps can step back up?

Thoughts on Gaff? Priced at 97, but had three seasons at 109-110 before last season

How much midfield does he play this season? He’ll be 32 at the start of the season

I had Gaff a few years ago, as at that stage he had excellent durability and consistency.
His durability is still good, but his consistency has waned a bit in recent years (still prone to the odd shocking score).
I did some weighted rankings just now of elite mids, looking at 4 key criteria
1. Projected Average (just guestimates right now) - 35% weight
2. Value (projected average - their priced average) - 10%
3. Durability (games played over last 2 seasons) - 30%
4. Consistency (standard deviation of scores in 2021) - 25%
Surprisingly the number one player that came out of all that was Rory Laird, mainly for his consistency (standard deviation of 15, whilst most others were in the 20s).

People won’t even give him a 2nd look now he’s lost defender status, but Laird is a lock for a top 8 mid imo and a worthy starting selection. Captained him a few times late last season and never let me down. Went at like 120 from his last 11. Huge
Laird isn’t a bad shout considering his elite consistency means he won’t really dip a great deal in price

I think that he can. His last two years were mainly because of Teague playing him injured - 3 dislocated shoulders, a stuffed up foot and a fractured back. I'm not sure if he can get back to his best, but under Voss I reckon he can definitely step back up.

Caldwell priced at 58, I’m keen. Think he can do 85-90 this season
104 and then 49 from 42% TOG. Young and in a side on the rise

He is made of glass my friend. Cheap as chips but not built to last. He will get good scores then bam. I guess u can hope for luck that he gets injured at end of the game. Huuuge upside but soo risky. Covid gonna throw curbevalls at us all season so best to get players who arent injury prone. My 2cents anyway.

Durability definitely a worry. And you’re right, don’t want too many of this type in our starting teams given Covid is going to wreck havoc

He will be back to a pure winger this season. I expect a increase in average. 10 points unders
Isn’t Gaff still recovering from ankle surgery or something and was still in the rehab group before the break?

Providing Crouch is for round 1, currently looking at
Steele, Mitchell, Neale, Serong, Crouch, Rowell, JHF, Daicos

I've gone a fair few rookies for my midfield. Macrae, Simpkin, Serong, Rowell, then JHF, Daicos, Ward, and Sinn.
I’m currently looking at going a deeper midfield set up like this. Touch worried a lot of rookies won’t be up to it with so many cancelled games last year but it’s still too early to say something like that so will have to see. I don’t mind going a deeper midfield this year though as you’re able to without sacrificing depth in other positions due to the higher salary cap. Rowell at M6 seems super deep compared with previous years but due to what could be some serious covid devastation it might be a decent move. Probably too far out to really know right now but food for thought

He was back at training jogging laps when the 1-4 year players returned. See how he goes post Xmas break this week but I think he'll be right
