I’d check that Wayno. LDU seems to finish years far stronger than he starts them.
LDU is serious value but can’t shake his injury history and he loves a late out

I did think about LDU, but thought Simpkin was good value and didn't want 3 North mids (+ McKercher).

Pick 1...
Yeah this is where I get stuck with LDU. Means I’m going Guthrie over Simpkin.

Maybe I'm thinking to get LDU ....B4 he gets injured
He started strong last season ....but then he had a series of injuries / niggles ....once he got back to full fitness he killed it
Even first game back after the long break, he was poor .....so definitely, not a player to perform with injury niggles
At 24 YO though .....he's right in his sweet spot
Yeah definitely feel like it’s a matter of when with LDU, not if.
His injury history is a shocker though. Loves a niggle. Hasn’t played a full season ever. After owning him last year in several draft teams and watching him extra closely, I felt like North were extra careful with him since he’s essentially their most important player when up and running. Kind of puts me off him a little knowing a rest or late out is just around the corner

Pick 1...
You’ve talked me out of LDU. I didn’t need much reminding of trading him in, putting the VC on, rocking up to the G when we played them and the campaigner wasn’t even on the field.
I’m now at my last one for now;
Rozee & NWM v Butters & Sinclair
Butters and NWM and upgrade somewhere else ^^
K. Coleman + M. Crouch
vs
Z. Williams + T. Kelly/J. Steele
vs
Z. Williams + T. Kelly/J. Steele
Yep that was a dirty day.
prefer option 1. Feel like all of Rozee, Butters and NWM still have upside whereas I think Sinclair is maxed out
tigs2010
Pick 1...
Probably only gets me from a Laird > Bont or Simpkin > Amon if he looks good pre season. I’ve done this and grabbed Bont
I'm currently heavy in the midfield right now, think its the way to go this year with byes etc.
Bont-Brayshaw-Butters-Steele-Walsh atm xD.

(Straight male but boy he's had a preseason)

Pick 1...
Got the same top 4 but then Simpkin at 5. Can go Walsh if I go Fisher or Billinngs instead of Crae or Flanders. Would need to see where that sits in PS games.
Forgetting about the early byes for a moment - S. Walsh vs T. Miller?

Pick 1...
Think we really need to see GC play under Dimma to decide that. He could neuter Touk

Hard to split them, maybe Sinclair and Butters hold a little more consistency over Rozee and NWM - do feel Rozee is going to go to another level this season though. There is a kiss of death if ever you heard one!

I'm expecting a slower start for Bont than his price suggests.
Last season he had a slower first 3 games, but with no significant off-season surgery
Off some surgery to the foot this off season, am expecting another slow start.
Williams is a watch, but so is Coleman, but for different reasons. For that reason I think you go option 2 looking for consistency early. Maybe Williams and Chapman are interchangeable (13k +/-) if Williams knocks it out of the park
I'm finding it hard to fit any more players in Def with the rnd 15 bye. I've got Sicily and Daicos will come in, another one will guarantee a premo missing r15. Not sure how to navigate it yet as there's premos on the other lines that will also miss.

Not ideal, but I did note last season that as long as the other two main lines were good, you can scrape through OK. Does force your hand though.
Both those Saints boys are priced at their average, there's possibly a bit of upside to NWM but running with Zilliams and Young as my value picks in defence (with Sheezel as a gamble) pretty much rules both of them out when factoring in that r15 logjam
See i think Bont comes out and goes 120+ early on this season. His first 9 rounds like 6-7 of them are very good matchups for him.
I think i want Chapman over Williams right now but just trying to figure out who to cut and it probably does head towards Bont right now.
