You're inefficiently using money on guys that aren't that good. I would make the following changes:
* Hammer down to Soni Luke and put Alamoti at starting CTR - Alamoti will score just as well if not better and you free up $122k
* CNK down to Khan-Pereira and just play HSS at WFB if you don't want to play AKP, CNK is alright but again, you're paying $142k more for not that many more points.
* Egan Butcher to Teig Wilton - Wilton is likely to start on the edge for the Sharks and actually scored alright even with Wade Graham there as long as he was starting with Wade on the bench. This frees up another $26k
Take that $290k you've just freed up ($314k bank with what you have before) and then do the following upgrades:
* Mahoney to Haas (play Cheese at HOK), this leaves you $138k and gets you a 10 point increase in scoring (Haas is fully fit and should average low 60s, Mahoney probably averages 50-52 at best)
* Cotter to Murray, Murray has a much bigger ceiling than Cotter does and is much more likely to get big enough mins, especially with Havili's injury. Also as a Souths fan you'll have more fun owning him
This leaves you with a stacked MID line while everyone else is messing around with cheapies and middies, and you aren't really giving up much to do it. Your side would look like this:
Cheese
Haas, Murray, Tapine
Wilton, Garner
Cleary, Burton
Thompson, Alamoti
Miller, Perham, HSS
Hopgood, Boyd, Loiero, Uto
Luke, Doorey, Sloan, AKP
Wilton is decent, averaged 49 as starting EDG, but that may be a bit lower this season with Graham probably stealing minutes often.
Egan is likely to be a beast now that he finally has his starting shot, especially the way that the Roosters tend to play their EDG players, often rotating them through defending in the MID while on the field as EDG in attack. He has every chance of being an elite EDG in fantasy in the 55+ points range, well worth the extra $26k over Wilton.
If he drops from 0.94 PPM to an 80 minute EDG role at just 0.7 PPM he is hitting a 56 point average, with upside potential from there.
