    This poll is about the makeup of players 14-21 (chiefly 18-21)

    Last year we made sure we had cover for every position.

    Do we want to do that again, or do we want to allow for the possibility of running short in 1 position (CTR or WFB being the main possibilities there)

    Danger being if we run with only 2 CTRs and one goes down injured week 1, then we need to either spend a trade bringing someone in, or play short)

    Just to clarify - if we say its OK to run without CTR cover, that doesn't necessarily mean we won't have CTR cover - if the most popular team includes 3 CTRs then we'd still include them, It just means we won't enforce it to be the case.


    If we enforce cover, it just means that no single injury will force us to play short without trading, could be through swapping DPP players around rather than explicitly having 1 player for every position on the bench

    I voted pick the best team. I'd be okay with not having cover in one position, but i wouldn't do it in more than one position

    Just realised I should have had something there about FRF cover as well.

    Its something we might have to think about

    HOK, 2RF and HLF I expect will be fine just based on natural choices (probably WFB too depending on rookies and DPP)

    I think we need cover in all forward positions and "just pick the best team" should cover that you'd think'

    It's possible we'll end up with no FRF cover, although likely Musgrove/Keppie/someone will get a spot.

    Also possibly have something like Haas, Knight + Carrigan.

    All speculation right now as haven't even opened voting

    I think that having cover is more important in this group consensus format where you arent flexible on game day. In our own teams we can retain trades to help cover a position, in this we can't. Really surprised at the results so far.

    I'm not surprised, i think when i assess what the best team is, i factor in things like if a person covers multiple positions or one I'm short on, but i don't do it at the expense of all other criteria.
