Gun and a Rookie or Midprice Temptation

[jester5au]

my question is
Fyfe and a Rookie or Libba and B Crouch?
Pros
Fyfe is well Fyfe.
Cons
he's been on the bench for the past two SC grand finals
Preseason back injury
Likely Ross rests him
Didn't train today.

Midpricers
Pros
Both are ball magnets
One has a proven scoring history
Both returning from injury and could be prone to be injured again.

Which combo will average more and provide the greater on feild scoring for your team.
Thoughts?

Feel free to post why you have selected your choice.

Second choice for me, you basically answered yourself with the cons on fyfe, not going with him myself because he never plays 22

libba is fit and an absolute contested tackling beast. There's a little bit of risk with crouch but easy to fix if he gets injured or stinks it up.

Short answer G'n'R all the way.

One factor you left out is captaincy choices.
We are a bit spoilt this season with a discounted Ablett and Rockliff.
But Fyfe has averaged over 120 for two consecutive years and played the first 16 games last year. In 5 of those he scored 145+.
If you didn't have him in your team and missed those captain scores you fell behind the pack very early.

Fyfe start the season on fire and then dips as well.

I would personally i would go with Crouch and Liba as there aren't many rookie mids that will score well.

I asked the question in the X v Y thread of 2 prems and 2 rookies or 4 mid-pricers?
