In 2019, starting fullbacks/wingers/centres averaged a combined 35.8 in winning teams vs 29.8 in losing teams (didn't count anyone that played less than 60 mins)

So on a very basic level, outside backs in winning sides outscore outside backs in losing sides by about 6 points.

SandroTilocca wrote:Lone Scout's comments RE the altering of player prices:

"In reference to questions about price bumps for some players (eg B.Brailey), a few of the most obvious cash cows have had their prices increased based on their expected larger roles this season to encourage more variety among teams.

It will make picking a starting squad more of a challenge, but nobody is really disadvantaged (the prices are the same for all Fantasy coaches after all).

Brailey is still a bargain with a break even of about 27, he just won't be in 100% of Fantasy teams now "

Too spoilt for choice to pick just three right now..

So much value around;
Garner
D.Fifita
Williams
Stimson
Lowe
Su'a
Tapine
Crichton

Then you have your usual suspects
N.Brown
Harris
Murray
RyMatt
Tolo
Bateman
JFH
Taupau

I physically cannot pick 3 right now

What are people’s thoughts on Stimson?
Obviously he’s very undervalued if starting but the Dogs do have a few back-rowers that could easily be swapped around.
Would he be worth the risk if he started on the edge and then maybe sell him once/if he goes back to the bench or just avoid all together?

Latrell Mitchell in Origin?! But he's so lazy and shit.

I reckon Hunt will be there for Qld.

ARey is borderline keeper maybe? Will Hopoate (if no 2RFs available at CT)?

Mulvy wrote:Ryan James

2015 Avg 40.5 from 19 games at 2nd row (mostly 80 min, removing his one injury game) five tries
2016 Zero games starting from 2nd row. Avg 60.6 at prop.
2017 Zero games starting from 2nd row. Avg 47.8 at prop.
2018 Avg 44 from 5 games starting 2nd row, one try (one game was reduced minutes though)
2019 First two rounds starting 2nd row for scores 25 and 42. Pretty sure he was rotated through the middle before being subbed off at 60 and 71 minutes respectively.

So if playing middle he's value, if edge only some value but maybe not enough.

Anyone reckon there'll be any visual or functional differences this year?
