I was asked a question by Cattleherder in the Questions For Rowsus thread ....
The answer are: Yes, there is a particular reason ...... and No, it has nothing to do with the new rules.
So why am I concentrating on younger players in my starting team?
Well, it's pretty simple really. The players we pay big dollars for are selected in the hope they will justify their price.
Let's look at the last 4 seasons.
The following tables contain the 10 most expensive players going into the start of the season. Where there were less than 2 of any position, say Defs, then I added in the most 2 most expenive players from that line, so we had each line to compare.
Those added in players are highlighted in blue.
Games is how many games they played in the coming season.
Hopefully most of you know what PIT65 means, for those that don't, it means you replace a players missing games with a score of 65, which is what their Rookie replacement might have scored that week.
Pos PIT Rank is where their PIT65 average ranked for that particular position, in that season.
I understand these are pretty subjective, and you may not agree with some of my assessments. That's ok, you are free to make your own.
Age is what age the player was on April 1st that season.
Hi Rowsus
I hope things are going well for you in Denmark. It feels like footy time again when I can read your thread! Already I am being challenged by your responses. I have two questions if you don’t mind:
1. Is there any particular reason why you are picking a young team as you say in your post 9152 to Slammer? Is it the new rules?
2. I currently have D Moore in my backline but after reading your comments re Libba to Quite Ironic, I am wondering why I have him? Have I been lured by his cheapness or is he just really an expensive rookie? Should I pick a cheap rookie instead is the question in my head?
Appreciate your comments as always
