We’re at the end and the only players left to pick are our rookie forwards. By this point, we’re getting short on cash, so we may have to restructure the side a little to fit everyone in. That can be done in the coming days.

The forward position can be as hard as defence to find some rookies who will be consistent contributors.

The key here is to find players that will actually get a game on a regular basis – there can be a lot of fools gold here, as a player may kick a bag of goals on debut and never be sighted again.

Still, there’s some quality options available and we’ve isolated our pick of the bunch below.
