Kennar is probably the best cost effective option in the CTRs while JMK is a cashcow who I think I am going to start over Cartwright.

If you didn't start with Kennar what is his long term benefit? JMK instead maybe?

Yeah I have been talked out of Kennar. I am going with Isaako now. But I am open to other ideas still.

What's your price bracket mate

I intend to be looking at the leaders throughout the season, to see what it takes to overhaul them. Definitely not going to do something silly just to avoid similar players, but I do see it as a valid strategy to differentiate your team from those ahead of you, to offer the best chance of catching up to them quickly.

I think it is dangerous to be so focused on the top 7 teams there Matt.

For context there are 'girlfriend' teams stacked with guns/cheapies but may burn out fast if they don't build value.
This may be even more important with the size of squads this year as well.

After only 3 games the sample size is small so if a player gunned it for a few weeks you may get a large point/price injection but this may level out with poor games
So if certain teams picked a few of these guys they will be high up in the rankings, perhaps even fluking a risky captain move ala Ponga/Johnson/RTS. These often catch up with you as well
You also only have to see a season average to see that some scores just aren't sustainable, so again the scores may be front loaded.

Lastly players behind you may be just as likely to pass you with a few smart choices, so the table can vary a lot depending on their risk.
You only have to ask a few people here to see a lot have clawed back massive ranks via some smart choices/planning and luck (Myself included)

Ask OntheBeatPete how focused he was on the players in front of him in round 4

Anyways I like you as a new poster and what you have to say is generally good, would just say to focus on your own team right now as that is what you can control
If you are top 50 and within 100 points of the lead in 16 weeks then you can start to worry bout the other stuff

$835k for a CTR.

I mean I want someone who can either be set and forget, although not a major fan of most choices, or a cheap option to stockpile cash for a decent HLF down the line.
