Ryan v Sinclair v Sicily v Day

Ryan probably the lock for top 6?
The other 3 probably fill spots somewhere between 5-15? Sinclair with Steele back seems a decent option. Sicily feels like the old safe option that feels like he should be too 6. Day is the risk - feel like everyone has grabbed him. And he is much cheaper but his best score was against north and take that out his average is very poor.
Ryan is probably the most likely top 6 defender at this stage.

At this point I think it depends on a lot of factors including how many mid keepers you think you have, how many upgrades you have to go, and how many dud rookies you have on your bench. There's a reasonable price difference between the two.

Oliver is one you definitely want by the end of the season, but it takes a fair bit to get to him. Steele is at a price where he doesn't hurt future trades as much (I know I'm struggling a bit with cash generation from my rookies at least). He seems more of a M6-M8 pick to me, which is fine, but you don't want too many of them.

Having a quick look at your team, I see you have Green, who's another in a similar M6-M8 range at best, with Bont and Laird as the other mid premiums (I'm assuming your other mid premiums will eventually move forward). I'd prefer Oliver, and guessing it's an upgrade of Setterfield to get there? As long as you don't bring in another dud rookie or two with your other trade/s (good luck with that - we're all struggling there), I think you'll be OK to still get to a complete (ish) team by bringing him in, but haven't looked too closely.
