It will just have to become even more mid-pricery, I guess. Though there's still a few cheap rookies backstage if the ones I've picked don't show up. Ridley, Clark and cousins also possibilities. I think first to go would be billings (down to Worpel?) to fund another cheap mid-pricer. After that maybe macrae down to a cheaper premo?
Looks good me ... we could afford Higgins > Worpel who has a BE of 17 as opposed to Higgins with a BE of 84.
Only other I have ?? about is Witherden ( BE 147) .. Crisp (BE 73) has a similar price/ave. Think he has had an interupted PS though and is more of a SC player in a stronger team.
Happy enough with how it sits though ...

I assume they are calculated by the last games played (home and away). Price changes take affect after the first game in this format.

Which would explain the high BE for Witherden

I'm actually at work now, and won't be home for another 4 hours. I think you'll find last years last few games have no affect on this years B/E's. When I get home I'll show you a more likely model for calculating them. 
From the rules I also found this ...
I'm very open to Worpel instead of Higgins, if people prefer. Or if anyone has someone they like around that price, or someone cheaper that they don't mind on-field, which might allow us to upgrade elsewhere. Will Powell is one I was briefly interested in, but don't know enough about him to pick with confidence. Is $267k, so cheaper than Walsh, with 67 and 47 Fantasy points in JLT1 and 2. Not huge, but not nothing. Don't love the idea of him on field though.
Are you suggesting putting someone in-between M Crouch and Macrae at M2 or ditching M Crouch altogether? Open to the former, but I'd argue against the latter. IMO M Crouch will be top 6 MID clearly in this format. Was 11th best MID last year despite RD2 injury and playing without Sloane or his brother for much of the year. Is 23 and ready to go to next level.
I reckon Angus Brayshaw is the obvious fantasy pig we're missing. Not sure how to fit him in though, and the Viney factor has me doubting enough to keep him out. But I'm certainly not opposed to him, if people like him and have good ideas for how to fit him in.

If Constable is named I reckon that's a good option. Or if we think Scott or Atkins will be ok to put on field, we could do Libba down to Gibbons. Libba priced to 54 and Cousins to 45, so I don't have a heap between them but prefer Libba's chances of beating his price by more.
If we went Libba downt to a 170k option it could get Higgins up to Dunkley.
What do people think about:
Libba + Higgins
v
Libba + Worpel
v
Constable + Dunkley
v
Gibbons + Dunkley
Or any other forward under $703k?

Just another thing to consider is that prices tend to go like an escalator and drop like a lift. So entry price can be important.
- point being that since rookies only have limited scoring history they don't tend to suddenly jump that much in price (like SC / RDT) that you've totally missed them. Still need some dollars in hand to grab them though ...
- same could be said for mid-pricers too ... all about the points as they gradually increase in price

Well done stephen, I think you’ve done a good job here with quite a few constraints.
I had meant to send my picks through but missed the window, sorry! With that said, I was planning on choosing my suggestions from within my DT side (given it’s the same scoring system) but I now see that that needs a fair bit of updating in its own right!
I may offer a view on the odd X vs Y as I get back up the curve on suitable DT picks, but I think this is looking good already as things stand.
