I don't like Ball or Fyfe in the midfield. Ball is definitely a value-for-money pick, but once you get over 300k, you're probably looking for a keeper (as you will make a lot more money - and much more quickly - with a sub-150k player). Ball's ceiling is probably a 90-95 average I reckon and that's just not good enough to justify a spot in the midfield by the end of the season, where 110 averages are what you're looking for.
Fyfe is great as a forward. As a midfielder? Not convinced at this stage that he will pump out the 110+ average that you need. Still, it's not out of the question and he could be a potential early upgrade target if he comes out firing.
I'm not sure about LeCras, Varcoe and Macaffer in the same forwardline. All picks have their merit (LeCras and Varcoe as potential keepers and Macaffer as a dirt cheap player who could easily increase 250-300k in value if he stays injury-free), but you're really rolling the dice, having all three. I reckon one needs to be chopped (probably Varcoe/LeCras, as you're looking for the same thing out of them).
