Tier 1 WW Player
Personally, I can't see him winning it because the way I see it, we have 30 or so players that could play 15+ games, and I can foresee them making several rests for Francis.eth, I am a huge fan of Francis. I was hoping like hell he would slide to our pick #8 in the 2015 draft. We missed by a few in the end.
Drafted as a 3rd tall (or maybe huge midfielder), I notice he's now listed as 194cm. I figure at that height he could easily play CHF/CHB. And bloody well.
In those positions, I think it's hard to win the Rising Star in your 1st/2nd season. With some exceptions, I think the award is more likely to go to a midfielder who can rack up 20 possies each week.
You got any info on what he has been training as / where expected to play this year? If say it's in defence, I see little chance he wins the award.
I'd be hoping he plays a bit of HB, a bit of HF and a bit of midfield
