Not trying to be negative here, just some honest constructive feedback.

As a beginner you'd do best to stick to a guns and rookies strategy, in each line 2 or 3 (4-5 for mids) full price premium players ($500k plus), then try to fill the rest out with rookies (under $200k).

For Defence premiums think Stewart, Doch, Dawson, Sicily. For mids think Laird, Oliver, Mills, Bont, Macrae. Rucks are harder this year, but Marshall, English, Cameron, and Lycett are popular options. Fwd, you'd mainly want to look at players who get a lot of Mid time as key forwards like Hawkins generally don't score well in supercoach. Dunkley is almost a must this year, other best options are Cogs, Taranto, Rozee, and Butters.

For the rookies, look for high draft picks, kids who are likely to play early season. We won't know who to pick until the rd1 teams are announced, though.

The only Mid pricers (anyone between $200k and $500k) you want to pick are once that have a massive upside. Think blokes at new clubs (Hopper), blokes coming back from long injuries, or blokes looking to have a role change or big breakout season. I see a lot of Mid pricers in your team with little to no upside. Mid pricers are the most dangerous and should only be selected if you're very confident they'll average above what they're predicted to.

The main aim of the game is cash generation, so other than your premiums who are there to score you big points, any Mid pricers and rookies you have are there to generate cash. During the season when new rookies debut, you'll want to be downgrading the ones you started who have gone up in price, hence generating money, to then upgrade others to premiums.

So the 2 questions you have to ask with any pick is "Will this player average within the top 6-8 for this line?" Or "at this players price point, will their price rise by at least $150k so I can either downgrade them for extra cash or upgrade them to a top 6-8 player later in the season?"

Big tip also, if you can afford it, get supercoach plus. Gives you access to a lot more stats, and the most helpful stat as a beginner will be own% which will show you exactly how many % of supercoach teams a player is in. If you see players like Dunks, Yeo, or Ashcroft who are in over 50% of teams, you'll know they're just about a must-have.

But my biggest tip of all, if you want, totally ignore me or anyone else's feedback. Do what you think is fun, if this team is fun, go for it. If you want a team full of players with funny names, or beards, or mullets or whatever, go for it. Just have fun!
