Instead if picking a player based on them potentially playing, why not pick the guy who is confirmed to be playing? You might be waiting 5-6 rounds for Parfitt to get a game while Florent has already made close to 100K.

Worst case scenario Florent gets dropped after a few games and you trade down to another rookie - big deal, rookie correction trades are a common thing early on in the season.
I believe I'm almost settled on a team. (100% maybe that) Florent and Parfitt are my final hurdles along with T Stewart in the backs.

**** this game is hard this year.

Thanks, good advice man!

Just got vid from North...

Might only be Sunday squad, but 6 debutants: Hrovat, Marley, Preuss, Simpkin, Hibberd & Mountford... So no EVW & Durdin.
No Durdin or EVW? WTF?
Scott obviously does'nt want to develop the next batch of defenders. :drunk:
Cheers DBoy. North Rookies are a big factor in my team ATM.

No probs. My guess is it's a bad match-up game vs West Coast. But can't disagree too much with what you state.

Are we all locking in Preuss as R3 now?
I'm worried about his JS. Our preferred forward line will be Brown, Waite and Daw/Preuss. Brown and Waite are locks, the final spot is up for grabs.

Preuss will play this week either in place of Brown who missed a fair chunk of the preseason, or in place of Daw based on form.

If he plays well he'll hold his spot

North naming Mountford, Pruess, Hibberd and Simpkin. Happy days
Mountford's the most likely to make way for Cunnington in Rd2 but should still see his share of games.

Bummer about no EVW. Liked him in the JLT. At least we'll have a downgrade option.

Just checked jjsmitty8 's cheat sheet but couldn't find Mountford, iirc he had an alright points per minute in his 2 JLT hitouts.
Averaged 60 from 51% TOG. He was going at a much higher rate before he started to tag O'Meara in game 2 and barely touched the ball there after. He did a good job at shutting him down though so not sure what his role will be.

Forgot about Cunnington, makes it hard to have a lot of faith in picking him.
Would be happy to use a corrective trade on him if he has a good start tho.

A bit of everything. He will tag, spend time forward as he's a quick little thing, he will play inside and out on the wing.

Hibberd will play hb/wing, so he can people a lot of SC money.
