Many changes overall this week... If you aren't running Grundy, you are certainly up against the mob. Rookies fill out spots 2, 3, 6, and 10, otherwise tried and tested other than Mr4Games. The expensive Neale and Seagull leave the top 10.
Def
1) Laird = 49% (was 45%)
2) Kosi = 48% (was 23%)
3) Highmore = 42% (was 33%)
4) Clarktrain = 39% (was 23%)
5) Seagull = 36% (was 46%)
6) Jones = 35% (was 39%)
7) Gould = 30% (was 43%)
8) Short = 30% (NEW)
9) Daniel = 25% (NEW)
10) PureFanasty (Orazio) = 20% (NEW)
CHANGES - Out Zacattack (Williams), Wehr, DGB (DGB). In Short, Daniel, PureFanasty (Orazio).
I can see some major scrambling when team drops come and none of Jones or Gould are named... PureFantasy is a drug which will leave you with a headache. Next stop for the Clarktrain, Scottwill****youover Station.

Some marvellous nicknames knocked out of the top 10 due to injury but some equally excellent ones come in. Interesting divergence in the rookies in this list, some are definitely going balls out and running a rookie R2.

Well, that update took longer than normal - loads of changes in each of the top 10s. To you, my loyal readers (and I know there are not many of you), I hope the Coaches Choice updates can help to craft your team to dodge the traps and hit the must haves.
I will update once more following the completion of rd 1, with the locked in top 10 of each line and the traditional what % did they start at.
GLHF!
