[span style='line-height: 1.3;]The biggest issue I have week to week and season to season is knowing which rookies to play on the field and which to sit on the bench. In the trading post Walesy wrote here[span style='line-height: 1.3;] he talked about the winner of the SuperCoach season being decided by a thousandpaper cuts[span style='line-height: 1.3;]- little errors that gradually put you out of contention as the season progresses. Whoever suffers the fewest cuts, wins the day.



I have a team that I'm pretty happy with which went fairly well with a score of 2,423 leading to a ranking of 1,042. I really can't complain there except for the fact that I had so much sitting in reserve. Leaving <a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2305&name=Jack Viney">Jack Viney[/url] on the bench? Pretty bloody dumb in hindsight! Had I fielded the right players, my team had the potential to score 2518 and put me in 32nd place. That's 95 points and a whole bunch of gloating to Walesy I missed out on right there!


If small mistakes arepaper cuts, my inability to field the right team in any given week is a gaping axe wound, particularly with my heavy reliance on rookies to fund my (spectacularly awesome don't you dare get injured) midfield.



I figured I can't be the only one, so what are your strategies? How do you decide which rookies warm the pine and which ones hit the field on matchday? Do you go off last weeks points? Position in the team? Coaches comments? Gut feeling?
