Totally agreed. They lacked imagination!
Round 0 = best 18, to keep the consistency.
A one off, lost if not used, issue of 12 trades from Round 0 to Round 1.
What they've done, has made it so around 70-80% of teams will have 16-18 players, from the same pool of 20-22 players. That's not great for the competition imo.
We used to get say 8-10 Rookies from a pool of say 14 in 75-80% of teams, but it's a whole different kettle of fish, to have such a large % of teams, with only maybe 12 players, with still quite a few of those 12 in common, separating them!!!

That's why he's not in my team now, don't think he will start the year onfield. Plus playing forward looks like a Phillipou type role.

I was just looking a last year’s winning team and now I am feeling a bit better about considering early bye players.
That team made 8 trades in the first 6 rounds. It also had just 9 players that were in the team in first round and final round. One of those players was a rookie and one was a mid pricer, whilst two others were traded out during the season then traded back in again. So that is just 5 premiums who were kept all season!
With four extra trades I can’t see any issue blowing a few early. I just need to nail those five premium season keepers! Maybe I’ll aim for six.

Having two teams is a good idea.
As things stand I am trying to remain flexible across the board. I expect I will have several midpricers that can be upgraded or more likely downgraded if I need to reshuffle. If I don’t get wedded to a particular structure of player, I think that will help in remaining flexible, and probably be wise independent of that.
