Pretty sure there is somewhere on this gold mine of a site. But grab a sheet with the year's prices and the previous years games played and average and you'll get an indication. There is always a bit of SC magic with some more obvious types...but it's something like 7 or 10 games = 20% and 3g = 35%.... but have a look it'll jump out.
Should be but depends on how popular the player will be if they are too cheap
eg Ablett , Franklin , Libba , O'Meara etc have had between 10-30% discounts applied.
Naismith starting price even increased even though he missed a year.
6 or 7 games used to get 10%
4 or 5 games used to be 20%
1 to 3 depended on a certain average , think from memory it was 40 so was between 10 - 30 % whether they were above/below 40
0 games used to be 30%
Be surprised if Crouch , Preuss & Sicily get the full discount.
Preuss theoretically should be cheaper than Daicos/Horne

Yeah, some players never get back to full strength after a broken leg, but it doesn't mean it can't happen as you've seen. A proven ball hog, who quoted a real keenness to learn from Smitchell when he announced his transfer a few years back. A proven pig I'll go back to the trough for 
round 9 you say??? oh, that's only 123, last 9 games...so close.
Less said about Harmes the better....

79.83 in his last 6 including a 49 & 54 , not sure when he started his new role , probably depends a lot on if Houli goes around again or not.
4 premium mids + Neale , 2 premium Rucks would be nice to start.
Not sure of the Crouch , Coniglio , Shiel price type to start , might be just locking in a poor M8 (or worse) from the get go.

These are already dangerous looking picks I reckon.
Plenty of people on Tarranto this year at that price, and he's performed pretty well for most of the season (100+ average and good enough that you wouldn't trade him out).
But a few poor scores near the end has him averaging 97 overall, which you have to say is a failed pick as an M8 keeper right?

It's interesting , we all want our mids averaging 115+ (but how realistic is that to achieve ?) and dependent on when we bring them in.
So say you start a 100-105 mid how much are you really giving up over a entire season and can you make it up with the "loose change" starting pick.
Sounds like contract talks have stalled with Crouch , 2-3 times they have increased his training loads and more soreness has developed so would want to have a 100% safe preseason.
Does he then get a full discount ?
Coniglio having issues with his toe , maybe Shiel a option or Rowell.
But I guess you would need to be confident that they are going 100-105 +
If you can get 4 x 115+ mids and Neale from the start may not need a Crouch/Coniglio/Shiel/Rowell type in any case.

Don't know if it's the game changing, or just the players we have going around at the moment, but there are 11 mids going 115+ this year (5 of them 120+) which feels like riches.
And bar Touk missing one, those 11 have played every game. The mids are where the points are at.
I think those numbers say that cheaping out and getting a speculative 95-105 player in the mids costs you 20ppg or more. Just spend the dollars and pick a $400k speculative forward instead. Playing every game and averaging 90 makes you top 10 this year and is probably good enough next year as well.
