My thoughts are that Whitfield is much more likely to be a top 6 mid and possibly top 3 where I’m still not sold Witherden hits top 6 let alone top 10. Moore is also an injury risk and his scoring could fluctuate IMO week in week out not too much unlike a good rookie. He’s certainly a better option than Duursma but is also up there in price. This is a risk reward scenario that could end in 2 trades where Whitfield should stay from the entire season.
Crouch recently became my Merrett replacement, so I quite like him, and would happily start any of the top five based on what we now know (I have the top four plus Cripps). I think I recall discussing Merrett vs Crouch with you, and I came away more positive on Crouch as a result ... so he was a natural choice when I cooled on Merrett 
Dusty was both not fully fit and played out of position last year, and still averaged 104 - so with Lynch in the side, I think he has good upside in his own right. Also plays 22 most years (has missed one game in four years) and is a handy VC option. Talk that he may have a knee issue is concerning, but in the absence of further info on this I'm inclined to stick with him.

So that's two questions for you haha, I'm sure of the rest of my side barring injuries.
I'm willing to drop Oliver because I still consider his shoulders a worry in the long run (he may experience pain, might be impeded, I don't know I'm not a doctor but scores tend to drop post shoulder surgery).

Who would you prefer out of him and Crouch? Noting I currently have Brad it that makes a difference.
