Essentially a non-player loop gives you 2 bites of the cherry of getting a score - however probably wouldn't recommend in COVID affected season and fact they will be earning 0 until they play

Basically a simple loop would be:
#17 Red dot (late lockout)
#18 cheapie (e.g. Bullemor)
#19 cheapie (e.g. Ilias)

Bullemor would play before Ilias in R1 and can see what he scores. If he smashes it, he will automatically sub in at the end of the round. If Bullemor gets injured in the 1st min and gets 1, you swap Ilias with red dot and get Ilias score

David Fifita
I think there's a fair chance he goes crazy to start the season, before limping home late season as his body starts to get sore

You will have 4 edges, just swap Fifita with Bullemor

So Bullemor is getting EDG status?

For me it's Jack Bird.

If he is named on the edge next week he should get DPP given.

Bird and/or Aitken

If a season long keeper in any other position was mostly likely 5-10pts undervalued, then it'd be a no brainer. But because it's CTR I don't want to? It seems the prevailing wisdom but not sure its rational or correct, really.

I guess it feels irrational, but really a keeper CTR averages 40? That's a "meh" player in most other positions. So it kinda makes sense to focus on that position last.

With that said, barring injury I'm not planning on trading much in the CTRs at all. Just gunna start with Bird/cheapie, and upgrade when possible. Max 2 trades 0(barring injuries which will of course occur)
