So from what I can tell there is 1698 teams in thecompetition.

Looking at the current number of selections

Italiano is a locked in number 1 GK at a measly 120k. Thestats page shows 5.4 avg pts, which is deceptive given it was off 5 matcheswhere he kept 3 clean sheets and got a penalty save. Wellington haven’timproved so I don’t expect a lot from him and wouldn’t be wanting him as myonfield keeper.

Izzo has moved to Adelaide a team now being run by Kurz, whohas got the team fit and playing very defensively. He showed at CCM that he canmake a lot of saves, so even in poor losses expect him to still score well. Ibelieve he will be one of the higher scoring GK’s and at 180k looks a steal asyour onfield selection. Only 428 others agree with that

Glover is the 3rd highest selected player at 395,the highest selected CCM GK by a long way and at $100k it is understandable.The belief is he will start and after his performances in preseason I think itis a risk worth taking.

Redmayne is the only other player at over 300 selectionswith 358, with a price of $190k it is a big risk given Cisak has a good chanceto be the number 1 Keeper at Sydney.

Thomas and Janjetovic are the 2 premium keepers who bothhave solid seletions in the 200’s , but really are they worth the extra 60-70kover Izzo or $130-150k over Italiano or Glover???

Defensively I see CCM as stronger this year than previously,while Wellington haven’t improved that much. This is leaning me to staringGlover as my bench option over Italiano.

Personally, I have predicted Adelaide, CCM & Phoenix to be the bottom 3 so I find all three of your proposed keepers to be garbage options. 

In saying that, I have Glover as my backup :lol: mostly because I can't see my first choice being removed from his spot or missing any/many games.

All personal opinion. Perth, Newcastle & City/Heart have the highest penalty conceded rates, which means less clean sheets and I do not think any of those teams keepers are worth it at there current prices.

Adelaide has yet to concede in a competitive match this year. And Izzo is yet to concede in ANY match
CCM has been strong in preseason.
I have both in my top 6 this year.

Wellington IMO will be bottom and probably the worst option.
Fantasy is about effective use of funds. Can you use the money saved by going Izzo over Thomas to improve another position more than what you lose in the first position.

Who do you plan on starting?

Whilst Adelaide & CCM have been strong in preseason, Victory & SFC have been relatively weak in comparison. Which to me further proves how little to trust preseason results. 

I don't plan on sharing my gameplan with yall :lol: I think all I've given away so far is I don't have any Jerks in my team, have Glover as backup GK and that Mark Milligan is in my team - but he obviously won't start the first round.

Try not to use up your entire budget, that way you can trade players a little easier if you need to.

Having 2 Sydney Mids, Zullo & Bobo is risky. Your essentially taking the risk that they all perform which could be good if they do, but if they don't you could be out of the running after 3-4 weeks.

That's crazy. I remember when over 20,000 would play, a shame they ran this comp into the ground. 

From my experience cheap goalkeepers are generally the way to go. (At this stage I may not even spend over 220K on my combined keepers, but we'll see)

Xavi Torres or Dario Vidosic for my bench spot? 
Playing a 3 4 3 atm.
Torres is more of a DM but will play in a stronger team and will leave me with some coin in the bank.
Vidosic will play as a 10 so may score and assist more but will leave me with no coin.

Click on the red/green arrow next to the player then click the arrow next to the player you want to swap. I am playing 343 though and it forces me to have two defenders as my first two subs (After the keeper)

TEAM OF CHARLIE MILLERS is as follows:

Theo
Cornthwaite - Zullo - Neville
Castro - Krishna - Clut - Matmour
Maccarone - Skapetis - Kaluderovic

I know it's a gamble putting Big Mac and Skapetis in but I've got a feeling they're going to contribue big time.  Kaluderovic had a great strike rate when he was at Brisbane so he completes my smokey frontline.
Will probs change to Berisha etc after round 1 but I like living dangerously.

FYI Clut is on the extreme outer, I have severe doubts if he'll get any gametime under Merrick and most have predicted him to leave mid season.

I have 99% confidence he will not be starting tomorrow.
