Relative to other teams, do we have too many starters for whom you cannot pinpoint the above average or elite skillset they bring? Using JOM and Banfield vs Sharp as an example - JOM and Banfield are probably better at more things/more well rounded than Sharp, but don't have a strength that's on the same planet as Sharp's skillset. As a result, Sharp is more valuable than JOM or Banfield.
These are the players that I think fit that bill:
These are the players that I think fit that bill:
- basically whoever our 7th defender is (Wagner a bit harsh, but I don't value his rebound as highly as others do and I'm not sure it makes up for his weaknesses in defence)
- Banfield and JOM (no debate there)
- towards the back end of this season, Fyfe (contest numbers have gone down, and as good a job as he's doing trying to be that defensively minded mid, when you can't really run and don't get tackles there's a ceiling on that impact)
- Johnson (bit of a techy one - he's got some elite attributes but haven't translated to an elite skillset, especially in his role)
- Emmett and probably Sonny when they play (I hesitate with Sonny coz he's still got that class but how much does it amount to when you're physically past it?)
