I'm going for Selwood. He usually hits his straps this time of year after a few quiet games which he had from rounds 8 -10. I expect him to finish off the year very well.
I like Rocky and we saw his incredibly high scoring ceiling on the weekend but he is unlikely to get close to that score again this year and his constant injury worries scare me off somewhat.

It sounds like a completion trade BB - so breakeven isn't as crucial.
However, Laird does have a breakeven of 111, which he has only got once this year in his 7 games. Depending on your other trade movements, I don't think you would have to move on him this week.
Rance has a relatively high breakeven as well, 116, so similar argument there. However, Rance does have the ability to obliterate his and hurt you more financially in a one week period.
Interestingly, neither have scored a century in a long time. Picking the right one will be a masterstroke, if indeed one of them returns to the levels the majority seem to think they are capable of!

From MarkM updated RD11 figures, Rance and Laird are in 27 and 34 of the Top 100 teams respectively. Considering where you're currently ranked, the T20 teams have:
1 - Rance
2 - Neither
3 - Neither
4 - Rance
5 - Neither
6 - Neither
7 - Laird
8 - Rance
9 - Rance
10 - Neither
11 - Neither
12 - Rance
13 - Laird
14 - Neither
15 - Neither
16 - Neither
17 - Rance
18 - Neither
19 - Neither
20 - Laird
So in summary, of the current T20, 6 have Rance, 3 have Laird, 11 have neither and interestingly none has both.
1 - Rance
2 - Neither
3 - Neither
4 - Rance
5 - Neither
6 - Neither
7 - Laird
8 - Rance
9 - Rance
10 - Neither
11 - Neither
12 - Rance
13 - Laird
14 - Neither
15 - Neither
16 - Neither
17 - Rance
18 - Neither
19 - Neither
20 - Laird

You are a legend. This actually sways me even more towards Laird. I feel like Laird does best against weaker teams, and his scores this year so far confirm that. With Adelaide's run looking so tasty, I am gonna pick up a couple of Adelaide premiums.
This is such a good post. I'm going to have to start looking teams this closely from now on! I think I'm sold on laird, pending more research!
