Still too many rookies in this list, I just can't see us getting more than 1-4 playing rd 1 and only one of those in the top 10.

COACHES CHOICE AWARDS - 14 MARCH 2021 (RD 1, NEXT WEEK!)

Overall

10) Downie = 47% (NEW)

CHANGES - Out Neale, Seagull, Cyclone (Treacy). In Powell, Kosi, Downie.
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.

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.

Rowe (Yourboat) = 51% (was 44%)

10) Dow = 32% (was 27%)

CHANGES - Out Macrae F, Cocka. In Kent (Brockman), Dunks.
Feels safe.

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! :)

It's interesting to see who is currently the most selected player. I definitely wouldn't have expected it...

Well, many changes as expected. Over half of the coaches in the game now have a Danger headache, although thankfully not as bad as Kelly's...

How and why almost a quarter of coaches still own Jones at the end of round 1 when he didn't play (see, told ya...) and is injured is a mystery of the universe.

I don't own StillMr4Games or Neale. If they have both fired this rd I could be outside the top 100k...well when you look at things that way...I really did get a rubbish rd 1 score...

Obvious who the masses think the top prems will be in the fwds at the moment.

And that is done for another year! Apologies, I didn't do a what did they start at % - just not enough people read this thread for it to be worth the time and fiddle factor.

Hope everyone had a good rd 1 and that rd 2 is even better!
