Discussion Structure, Strategy and Sacrifice

The more players you have outscoring their starting price the better the start you will have. But as your starting picks prices start matching their scoring then the more higher scoring players regardless of their price the better. Over 23 rounds it is a balancing act between not falling too far behind yet still being able to finish strongly. Over 17 rounds the not falling too far behind becomes more important so you need more players who will outscore their starting price.
We normally get 7 or 8 rounds with a full team and this is where team builders come home strongly but this year we will only get 2 or 3 rounds with a full team so early value is more important.
If we still have 30 trades then holding injured premiums might have to be rethought as falling behind early becomes more of a problem.

Think also donuts to play/FDs should be avoided even more so in a shorter season. You have a shorter time to generate cash so you really need rookies to be playing from the start so they can be turned over quickly. $100k cash gen from players is a win.
Also, if anyone can find a successful stepping stone or a Marshall type, they'll really fly ahead this season.

If there is a high risk of a team being pulled at short notice from playing one round (Thus two teams not playing), it would probably be safer to make sure we have a thin spread of players from all teams.
For example, I don’t think I would start with two premiums from one team.
EDIT: So looking at my team, I now need to weigh up ...
Macrae v Bont
Kelly v Whitfield
Docherty v Cripps

I think the more value players on field from the outset the better now. Completely fine to end up with a player that's say in the 8-12th best average in a line if you've had them play from the outset.
As a small restructure, I've done Neale/rookie to Houston in the mids and A.Brayshaw up fwd for the time being. A shorter season is also probably better for a Brayshaw type so he doesn't tire late season. Also some uncertainty about when Neale cops the De Boer tag as well.
