Mid rookies are currently Campbell, Berry, Brockman, Gulden, A Scott - as an aside Heppell is M6 at the moment but I'm mulling over flipping him out for Caldwell. Warner, Fullarton and Rowe as fwd rookies.

Should I consider shifting one of Gulden, Brockman, or Fullarton/Rowe (via dpp) out for Powell?

Plenty of cash to spare as I needed to hold some back for potential corrections so am just looking to tweak rookies for now.

I'd flip Heppell all together and bolster another line.

I'm already running with what I'd consider to be 13 premos in a Grufleek setup (4-5-1-3) and I'm pretty committed at this stage to either Heppell as an easy stepping stone in the mids at M6-8, or Caldwell as an eventual forward keeper at F4-6 to save a trade.

Question is only around which rookies I commit to now.

Bergman's potential scoring, low JS; or Jones High JS, probabale slow burn?

Brockman and Berry my other concerns.

(Clark D/M), Sharp D/M, Kozi, Highmore.
Campbell F/M, Powell, Berry, Brockman, Gulden, Scott*
Warner, Fullarton F/R, Jones, Rowe

I think I've got analysis paralysis.
Anyone see anything that jumps out, pick or structure-wise. I wouldn't mind having Sharp's D/M in the mids, as a link.

I would prefer Jones but currently have both. JS at a premiumthis year in my view, albeit Rowe looks like a slow burner wth JS too.

How much cash ?

At the moment your only D6 options under $ 200k are Guthrie , Butts or Cox.

Unless you do a combo of Clark and say Brockman (or a forward) to move Sharp

Might be forcing things too much for structures sake at this stage, maybe. I pretty flush with cash after trading Gawn to Grundy. My plan is to use that wiggle room to correct over next couple of weeks. Might leave as is for now.

Ok, my last conundrum and would appreciate your thoughts on my fwd rookies.
Currently have Warner, Rowe,Fullarton, H Jones and Brockman.
I have the cash to upgrade any of them to Logan McDonald.
other option is to leave as is and keep the cash in the bank.
cheers folks

I haven’t followed all of those players closely, but that doesn’t strike me as a meaningful upgrade (and may be a downgrade in some cases). Personally I’d keep the cash.

Need to choose between Brockman, Gulden, Fullarton, Warner and Powell in a Grufleek lineup. Other locked in rookies on the mid and fwd lines are Campbell, A. Scott, S. Berry and Rowe. Don't currently have Powell but want to be ready to move if/when he is named.

I'm actually leaning towards shifting Gulden out for Powell, but at this point I'm open to suggestions?

Also sweating on going Heppell or Caldwell at M6 (there's a case in my mind for both). Could instead go from Heppell down to Powell and maybe upgrade Sharp to someone else, but with 4 premos on the defensive line I don't want to go too deep there right now (currently have one of Highmore of Kosi at D6 with Sharp on the bench)?

p.s. As an aside I'm thinking I might need Fullarton up my sleeve in case a correction is needed in the rucks with Flynn at R2 and Meek on the bench, but otherwise he is an easy out to bring Powell in?

Powell has been confirmed on social media, I believe.

Bergman for mine is the guy you don't have that might be an upgrade but JS isn't as good as that group.

Anyone picking Fullarton in their squads? Tossing up between him and N.Cahill but not sure which one to go with.
It will save me 30k in cash. Only have 2k left right now
Any advice appreciated

I'd go Cahill unless you are on the Rookie Rucks strategy in which case Fullarton gives added protection
