Last time it was this low we also had all high draft picks initially valued at <$200k
Perhaps the number of players will be retained at 30, but the low MN will be compensation for an increase in prices of the higher draft picks, as seen in the AFL Fantasy (Dreamteam) pricelist?
Maybe both will come into effect? 33 selections and higher rookie prices?
Gee, that would really make you stretch the dollars - selecting rookies with care and premiums with value.
It would introduce a bit more skill back into team selection and reward those who put in the research effort.

Personally given the while point of rookies is to generate cash I'm of the opinion that it is vital to have the best in each position. Wines started at around $170k last year and Vlastiun at around $160k these aside from O'Meara were two of the best.
Both were more expensive but proved to be vital not only because of the cash generation but also for the higher scores they were able to generate.
If the best rookie in a position costs $180k-$200k then I am prepared to pay it.
This is just my opinion of course.

It's a real interesting one. I almost never pay more than rock bottom for rookies as i'm a firm believer in the loose change philosophy as well the perceived additional money made from not spending top dollar...that has served me well until the two players you just mentioned, punished me week in week out in two ways. The money made was one thing but the higher scores you mentioned were what really hurt and had me falling behind week after week.
Wines was the one that really stung as it changed my whole starting structure for the worse and alot of top teams started with him.. definitely taking a different approach next year.

Like everything in SC it's all about how you spend that extra cash. Say you Kelly averages 90ppg next and someone like Jansen (just an example as he's the only later rd mid draft pick I know) averages 80ppg and both play the first 8-10 rds (until upgrade time basically). By picking Jansen you'll save about 80k, which you can spend in another position. If you spend it well you can get a player who averages 5-15 points more in that position and ends the season as a premium who needs no upgrading (saving a trade even if you may lose a few points. Alternatively the cheaper player may not play every week and only averages say 70 and in this case you'd be better off with Kelly. Also if you don't spend the money well and get someone who provides the same or less output than your original pick then you're better off with Kelly. The important thing is to pick the best rookies in respect to the rest of your team.
