Forwards 2016
- Thread starter Fbdonkey
- Start date
So I've personally got Dusty locked away at F1, Barlow is locked at F2-3 & 99% chance I will start with Bird, but outside of that it looks really hard to me, had teams with Zorko, Z Merett, Lids, Billings, Wells, Simpkin but haven't really liked any of the combinations thus far,
I had Sinclair and Bird up forward for ages as midpricers, at F3 and F4 and with Dusty and Barlow being my F1 and F2, found it really hard to take either of the midpricers out because I thought both could happily average 95ish, but once I did it makes my team feel a bit more stable. I now have
Dusty, Dahlhaus, Barlow, Wells, Simpkin, Kerridge
The way I see it Dahlhaus, Dusty, Barlow are all F1,2,3 all year.. Wells is a potential F6 if he's at his best and Simpkin possibly an F6 contender too [unlikely but possible if he's onball the whole time]. With my F1,2,3 already locked in it means I can take advantage of a fallen premium when they drop in value for F4,5,6 rather than having to fork out cash for top end premiums mid-season because Bird and Sinclair only end up at F4-6 standard.
[I like a couple of the midpricers up forward but I felt a lot safer with the guns and rookies approach, especially with Wells potentially contending for an F6 spot by the end of the season he kinda takes what I was looking at Sinclair/Bird to do for 100k less]
Surly wells is a lock at F6. I know injury history is an issue but the best time to risk an injury prone player is at the start, right?

Wish I was as confident about Dahlhaus as you guys, would make this a lot easier.
I am a bit the Steve, but if it gets to tough for him again it might just finish his season again. Just can't afford that risk.
I've got Dusty, Dahl and Barlow at the moment but Dahl is the one I'm least confident in - mostly because I'm a bit worried he might get pushed forward a bit more and have some down games. The problem is that I am less confident in all the alternatives. Dahl has a history of playing 22 games and even if he slips a little bit should average around 100. He's not a great bargain at his price ... but those factors I mentioned make him seem like a reasonable deal as a forward keeper.

If Daniel My thoughts, NO
Troy I don't think will offer much either, best average of 50 in 2014, never plays an entire season I'd stay well away.

Daniel..
Has shown he has the ability to go beyond the 100 mark.
Job security is strong i would think.
Injury risk high!!!
No longer the risk of being the sub.
Just got a feeling about this kid..

no doubt he has potential but 20k more than Wells, 40k more than Simpkin, 40k more than Anderson are a couple I personally would have ahead of him
Being a Cats man, I love menzel... But at 260k he is not coming anywhere near my side. As mentioned, there's 4 or 5 guys similarly priced or cheaper who are a lot less risky with the same potential.
As for troy, I read yesterday something mentioning that he has "a lot of work to do" if he wants to be considered for starting 22. He will be fighting Betts and Cameron for points as well. Definitely better options elsewhere.
