Premium forwards help

[Lord_Travis]

Looking for some advice. It's my first year doing DT, im ranked 18104 But that's due to a poor poor start where I was in the 70,000s lol. I'm actually top of my league, undefeated, and have scored 1900+ for 4 weeks running now.
I'm looking to upgrade to another premium forward.

The ones available to me are Franklin, Murphy, Didak, Burton. Dont have enough for Richo.

Everyone seems to have Franklin, but I'm not sure whether him or Murphy would be the better buy. Franklins going to get double teamed and is innaccurate at goal, so I'm worried his average will drop as the year goes on.
Murphy looks like a solid choice who will get me 100 every week without having as many of those big 140-150 games as Franklin, Didak or Burton would.

Is Franklin definately the best buy? What are peoples thoughts?

BTW my forward line is currently Pavlich, Brown, Chapman, Deledio, Porpz, Hawkins, Rioli, Gamble. Upgrading Hawkins to a premium this week and trading out Gamble or Rioli in a few weeks time.

It's a hard choice between Franklin and R.Murphy.

As you said, R.Murphy will be very solid with consistent 100 scores without exploding. Franklin will score a number of 130+ this season but then can have an off game.

Franklin for me though. He's much more consistent than last year and even if he isn't accurate on goal, he takes plenty of marks and averages 6 shots on goal each match. Not too shabby.... the only thing worrying about Franklin is he's currently playing with a shoulder injury which apparently will remain for the rest of the year but it doesn't seem to be fazing him at all.

Didak and Burton could be an option too but they are injury prone, well Burton is anyway.

Franklin. Didak is consistent but expensive. Burton is good value but just as inconsistent as Franklin (based on past years-he's improved on that this year) and 10-15 points lesser in scoring.

Go with Murphy or Buddy, Murphy probaly more consistent.

Coming from someone with Buddy, Murphy and Didak in my team (and put up with the inconsistency of the Birdman last year), I would go for Murphy. He is going to be the most consistent out of the lot.

Full forwards are always a risk in DT (even someone as good as Buddy), especially if you are double or triple teamed every week. Murphy will almost always take his 8-15 grabs a game, he just runs with so much freedom.

Didak is a jet, but I think his price has peaked.

Good luck, I'm sure any of them would be a handy addition.

LBF, has been absolutely awesome this year and doesn't look like slowing down.
