Still convinced Lomax wouldn't have kept getting big scores at FB

Hoy is definitely not new Lomax, he has limited shelf life and there's no way he stays in 17 after Ponga returns with 5/8 taken by Green, Mann taking utility spot

If he does end up on bench, probably worse than being out of 17 because then would lose all cash gained.

Likely end up wasting too many trades on fullback, going Hoy > Isaako > Gun.

Given that we can't have guns at every position to start the season, there is no difference between having HOK 60 WFB 30 then WFB 60 HOK 30. In my opinion the most important thing for squad balance is making sure you have two decent captain options to go along with under priced players.

Two main concerns if I don't start with Teddy. Taking goal kicking when Tauk is off the field, does Teddy elevate his game and have more stability in his scores? If I don't start with Teddy, when do you trade him in? First upgrade targets are probably going to be guys like Haas, Taumalolo who we expect to drop a bit of cash. That leaves very little cash to grab someone like Teddy before origin

Would mean rolling the dice on some very cheap WFB options, which was much easier when Turbo was fit.

Giving fantasy a miss this year, but keen for the footy to get underway. Looking forward to just following a few teams and players and not worrying about the fantasy implications. Expectations for Tigers and Sharks are low, and Storm will be exciting to watch as usual, so should be a cracker season

Will be around to partake in the shitposting from the safety of the sidelines still of course Hopefully a good fantasy season for you and a couple others, couldn't give a shit about the rest of you lot

Agree.

I also like to combine the value of the choices and points potential when I’m struggling to decide, in this scenario

Example
HK Cook 64 $856,000 + WFB Isaako 40 (high end) $399,000

WFB Tedesco 64 $850,000 + HK Brailey 48 $410,000

Think I'd rather roll the dice on Oates/Moylan/Smith/Simonsson/Niu/Laurie rather than splashing the cash for Isaako

WFB seems pretty bad this year below gun tier, so unless I end up with Teddy/Papy/RTS there will be some level of risk

I think it'll be much harder to upgrade to Teddy as there are few mid tier backs that will come even close to Teddy in price.
