IMO those 600k+ players are priced that way for a reason. They were the highest scorers last season and often have been in past seasons as well. Identifying those players that will stay amongst the highest scorers is one of the keys to having a good team. The old cliché " Past performance is no indication of future performance" is true but it is the best and sometimes the only indicator we have got. It might be flawed but we use it anyway.
One season I tried a strategy of picking several 100-105 ave mids that I thought would either go up and be keepers or at worst hold their price and then I could easily trade up to the premiums that showed themselves to be the must haves that season. Failed miserably. I think the volatility of players scoring in that group makes it hard to find those kinds of players pre season. I don't think the strategy is flawed but it was just too hard to apply.
For the record my current team has 5 premium keepers and 4 of them are over 600k. I can find a reason to query just about every one of the players in the 500-600k bracket but I have no doubt several of them are going to have a big season. It is just hard to see that at the start of the year when you build your team.
I find Neale at 27% quite low.
