Yeah, sounds easy in theory. There were 88 players last year that played 3 games or less all season. You can spend all your trades chasing the right rookies, or get lucky on the right ones.
I don't see what's so hard about picking rookies. Two thirds of your rookies should be successful then you if 2 pre round 3 trades to adjust rookies. You should be able to get enough good rookies.
I don't subscribe to the 2 trade pre round 3 theory. With the 3 bye rounds and 3 trades going in each of those rounds if you want a hope, people are going to find that more benefit will come from saving those two trades for finals/ a late overall push.
How many premiums are coaches looking at starting? 13? 14? 15? In my current team i have 13. Is that on the money or does 14 sound like a better starting point

How many rookies would you tend to have? My team is made up of 43% rookie's, 20% Mid's and 37% premiums. Too me it looks like i have too many rookies but most of the rookie's i have chosen have fairly good write up's????
awesome days Fanplanner squad in the Super Coach competition coached by pbabs. Salary cap left: $1,086,800. Brendon Goddard, Brett Deledio, Josh Gibson, Brian Lake, Phil Davis, Marty Clarke, Brandon Ellis Billie Smedts, Beau Wilkes Matt Priddis, Joel Selwood, Jobe Watson, Anthony Morabito, Sam Reid, Dayne Zorko Luke Brown, James McDonald Ben McEvoy, Matthew Kreuzer Jonathan Giles, Orren Stephenson Dustin Martin, Jonathan Brown, Tom Hawkins, Alan Didak, Jason Winderlich, Jason Porplyzia, Scott Gumbleton Darren Pfeiffer, Sam Rowe First go, lots of money to spend. I am more likely for the leagues, as much as I would like to think, I am no chance for overall (25,000's last year)
The common structure that most people tend to have this season is: 13-14 premiums, 2 midpricers, and 14-15 rookies.
@pbabs Why would you have $1,086,800 left over you should use the cash to upgrade two rookies to premiums.

I think i would be upgrading with that kind of salary left.
If I work on the premise that a premium is a player over 400k, a midpricer 200-400k, and a rookie any price, I have 12/8/10. Also, my bye setup is 8/11/11.
I think I have 10 then. I'm taking a few risks this year but if they come off then I'll go really far in overall. That's a big if though.
You would want to start with more than 8 players with byes in round 11 because GWS have their bye in that round and you are likely to have rookies from GWS that you are going to trade out.
Id rather pick rookies such as wingard over coniglio. I only have Giles and Treloar, but looking to get McDonald.
@ everyone questioning why $1m in salary left. I will probably upgrade 2 more rookies to keepers, and try to have $200k left in the bank. I have just put in all the speculatives in my team and will get more conservative as the clock ticks down. Cant wait for week 1!
