Welcome to Part 1 of the Reserves Rookie Review Wrap Up for 2022. 6 teams this week and hopefully the remaining 12 will be up next week. I have included all players that have played less than 3 games this season which is a lot this season. Hopefully the decent rookies are held back until next season. Any questions or extra information please let me know in the comments.
Prior to 2022 discounts have worked like this but they will still be similar to this with some exceptions.
30% discount for rookies that have played 1 or 2 games that averaged between 50 and 70, 20% if they averaged under 50 and 40% if they averaged over 70. 3 games discount is 20% if they averaged under 50 and 30% for over 50. 4 and 5 games played is 20% and 6 and 7 games played is 10%. So a player playing 1 game can ruin his price for next season as we saw with Alex Davies. Even though he would not have been the best pick here is an example. 1 game last year for a score of 62 meant he started the year at $202,500 which was roughly 35% discount.
