As long as it's a decent reliable scorer it does not matter. The big benefit is dropping the 22nd best scorer. It's better than any loop.I honestly think that it is ridiculous starting a premo in the flex position like a 3rd premo ruck.
After playing around with different teams I feel like a fallen premo or midpricer with a great role under $300k is the best option. Players who have a previous good scoring history and will score much higher than a F6 while also generating cash.
The first 4 rounds are bye rounds so it will be best 18 anyway so depending on individual starting teams it is absolutely the best option to be chasing cash generation while scoring higher than usually F6.

Bont would be fine he is reliable.
There is no disadvantage playing a great player there.
But if you play a rookie and they score 20 you probably won't replace your 22nd scorer and you wasted the flex.
Flex needs to be someone your sure will make your 22.
whats wrong with playing those players in their actual positions and getting one more rookie off the field?I agree that you can't play a rookie as the flex and I never said that either it would need to be someone with some sort of decent scoring history who you might not normally pick. I have a few that are on the watchlist at the moment all under $300k.
Isaac Cumming $287k Mid only in 2021&2022 averaged 93 & 95 still only 26 possible HB/Mid Role at new club
Cam Guthrie $278k Mid Only last 2 years only 10 games through injury previous 3 years averaged 103,113,99
Matt Flynn $267k Ruck only possible No1 ruck role? Never really had a great run but can score 100s
Rory Atkins $234k Def could get the vacant Houston role and be better than Daniel Rioli
I think because there is noone backing up the flex player. The last thing you want is to put a Sunday playing rookie in that flex position only for him to be a late out / sub. Better off playing an early game premo out of Flex and giving yourself ultimate flexibility with rookie roulette over the weekend on other lines.whats wrong with playing those players in their actual positions and getting one more rookie off the field?
the only point of difference it provides is the ability to play an extra ruck. starting teams would all have rookies on every other line.
It's BJW isn't it?Flex to me is an injury free 2024 who will get a full pre season and plays ruck.
There is only one choice.
It’s literally there to save you from a howler, that’s the way I look at it. Eg, an early injury.Are we over complicating the flex. Am I right in saying it does not matter who it is, providing they score higher than your lowest score. Am I maybe simplifying it too much now?
Agreed, seems to be that some people are willing to take shortcuts on their team to get a good 23rd player, as previously stated by gutsroy.I think the move is just having a rookie there. Not like you’re missing out on a premo, we still all have the same amount of money and position.
Start a rookie, generate the extra cash over the first lot of byes, hopefully make enough bank that you can load up on premiums after their later bye. If that makes sense.
Yep.It’s literally there to save you from a howler, that’s the way I look at it. Eg, an early injury.
Rookie roulette will still be in play and people will still stuff up their flex chasing extra points etc.
