Yeah the early season heat plays a part for the mids and maybe some edges. I'll try not to make any kneejerk reactions when some minutes are a little lower the first few rounds, as long as the player landed the role I picked them for.

Just training the house down type vibes, did they not like Hands last season?

They signed Lussick mid season last year and played his first game off the bench and after that started for the rest of the year. Also been named to start with the 'A' team this week.

Part of the reason I started so poorly last year (50k after about 8 rounds) was a few low ownership players that were independently decent picks but didn't go as expected which left me needing mass changes to catch the pack.

Hastings, Collins, Ponga, Turbo, Kenny, TMM the main suspects. Add in some early injuries (Ford, Bsmith) to the usual dud popular picks (Talau, HSS, Doueihi) and there is no way back.

Going more cookie cutter makes it easier to not fall behind early then trade your way to the front
