Choosing a mid fresh off their bye this week to replace Crouch (assuming he is out for a while) is going to be tough.
Had a bit of a deeper look into LDU and there is a trend of him finishing off his seasons much better than he started.
Used the bye as an arbitrary cut-off point for the sake of this exercise and also didn't include any very low TOG games.
2020 - Pre-Bye 71.8, Post-Bye 98.0
2021 - Pre-Bye 75.2, Post-Bye 92.8
2022 - Pre-Bye 100.1, Post-Bye 110.9
2023 - Pre-Bye 106.1, Post-Bye 121.1
2024 - Pre-Bye 121.1, Post-Bye ???
On top of this noticed that NM have the best remaining fixture for inside mids and that all the other teams fresh off the bye are in the bottom 8.
