A lot of you look forward to my amazing brilliant advice and intelligent insights and are intrigued by my curious team changes, so here's the latest model.
Note, this team is not formed by chance, or luck, careful consideration and extensive research has gone into every selection. I am an awesome SC player and fully deserve the 50k.
Houst, BSmith, Doch, Cumm, Nobl, Z-T. - Brander, Williams(WCE)
Neale, Bont, Conig, Walsh, Viney, Dev Smith, Rowell, TomGreen. - Pick, Robertson, Budar.
Grundy, Jacobs. - (big difference..R3) Naismith.
TobyGreene, MacPh, Petra, TLynch(Rich) Braysh(Freo), Curtis. - Max, Rank.
If Darcy Cam gets up I will start him, MKing or Rankine out, however keeping Naism at R3 to your chagrin.
I'm really valuing the importance of Naism at R3, because of the c of a season this will be.

Last Minute Panic Team Version 0.9873:
Rationale:
After a bit of reading & thinking, I decided to scrap my whole approach to Season 2020, we are in uncharted territory after all. I'm taking some HUGE risks here I wouldn't normally consider, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. This ain't a normal season, so why play it normally?
The approach is simple: Minimize on-field rookies, Go for Job Security & (Potentially) Underpriced risks.
Let's face it, the opening rookies are dog shit, Mid Priced Madness was already the flavour weeks before the Coronavirus jeopardize the season. So to start off, too much money was wrapped up in Grawndy - and it pained me greatly - so I split them up, and I chose Grundy out of the 2 (I'm so sorry Maximus). Additionally, I downgraded Neale to Viney (that one really ****ing hurt as a Lions man). This allowed me to splash in the Forward & Defensive lines, eliminating as many starting rookies as possible.
Starting all of Crisp, Viney, Greene, MacPherson, and Petracca is a massive gamble, but again, this ain't a normal season. The logic is that with a shortened season seeing games played more often, coaches will be looking to rotate players through the midfield more, so more opportunity to rack up those scores.
One other aspect that many will probably overlook is the likelihood of Coaches resting players from game to game, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is 'Roughead Madness' come May (assuming the season lasts that long).
The big downside with this High Risk/High Reward team is that the immediate cash generation is going to be shit, but the rookies have to play at some point... right?
Right now Andrew Birch is crying tears of Joy.

I just brought Bont into M5 (was cogs) but I noticed before his 115 last year his averages were 104, 105, 108 and 103. Is It just me or does it seem that is his usual score point and there is a good chance he returns to 'normal'. I usually pick players who have done the opposite (averaged high then had one off year).

When did MacPherson.... let me say that again, MacPherson suddenly become the best must have player in the comp?
Houston is the expensive 2020 version of "Mills going to the midfield".
Macpherson is more like this years Shitrucca.
I'd back shittruccca to finally..... finally not be shit, before i put my money on MacPherson and fat Stuey Dew.

Like me you have 3 fwd rookies on field which isn’t ideal. With Steven going down I can’t seem to structure away from it though.
Was thinking more like how Shitrucca has been.
Everyone knows Shitrucca is going 110+ THIS time around. Surely.

Never. Worst mid-price pick out there.
Wish his ownership was higher than 10%!

Was gonna be a more MPM team but with the shorter season and possibly extra trades. Ive decided to just load up with as many ubers with the highest ceiling possible. This is prob the wrong strategy but i really dont think any of us know whats best so im just trust my gut thats failed me every time lol.
Booted Oliver for Jelly who I have never had before and wouldnt normally becuase he is so injury prone but the campaigner can go big and has had the much talked about full preseason.
Ceglar and Steven out for Whitield and Sturt.
Not sold on brayshaw but **** it.
Pray for me

ok, so what does that make Darcy Parish and our old mate Lunchmeat ?
You can guarantee the worst mid pricer will be the one I choose at F3. Whoever I settle on will do a Toby McLean you can be sure.
Think I'm pretty much settled with this but **** know what will happen when teams come out.
Not sure what I should do with the remaining $140k. Could either go B.Williams to Roberton but I don't think he will play every game if there are multiple games in a week, or just save the money and use it for upgrades due to only 2 games before price changes.
This year is gonna be a shitstorm and I'm gonna love every second of it.
