McInnes (120 as Captain)/Lichaa (55) maybe average around 175 between them, at $930k
Smith (130 as Captain)/Brailey (35) as an alternative average around 165, at $770k.

The Smith combo leaves you around 160k to find that 10 point difference (160k should actually find you 17 extra points going by the MN).  You have the most reliable Captain in Smith.  You may also get more out of Brailey then that 30/35.  Or Brailey may not be there in a few rounds at all.

Brailey also has the potential to make you some serious coin that neither of the fist combination do.  He will double his money if he hits that 35.  So for me Smith/Brailey has a bit more upside, albeit at a greater risk.

This.

The possibility of being in L1 and Fantasy Fanatics L1 Elite next year vs League 4-5.

I think alot will regret not going with Cam, its a def trade that will then be made after 2-3 rounds to bring him in. It hurts to much seeing his 140+ as C so so often and not having him. SI's reasoning spells it out, riskier play combo with Brailey, but should net some coin to upgrade later on the back of hopefully 40 each week.

You don't think Fifita as Captain could match it? I was of the opinion the McInnes + Fifita (c) would cover that points spread and save $ compared to say Smith (c) + (One of Graham/Bromwhich)

Now I'm doubting my pack haha, and have widdled it to two options

a) Smith + Smat
b) McInnes + Gallen

Kafausi and Sironen.

I hate the Sironen pick but I may feel forced to bring him in myself depending on the team sheet
