THE CASH COW FACTOR - DREAM TEAM ONLY

Before I go into explanations, a special thanks to K.B. who came up with the concept. Also the results below reflect only Dream Team points for now.

The Cash Cow Factor (CCF) is points system (scaled to the top ranked cash cow) that rates a players performance, starting price and playing time in the NAB Cup competition. This predicts the likely golden cash cows for the year ahead.

The cash cow factor of 1.0 for the cash cow with the MOST potential for the year ahead. So the closer to 1.0 the CCF is, these are players you must consider when looking for the diamonds in the rough. The factor takes into account the total points scored (and averages) during the four NAB cup and regional games (for those teams knocked out) and their starting price or salary, then looks at the potential score and price in the upcoming season.

Below is the CCFs after Round 1 of the NAB Cup. Although they will really only have statistical relevance after all preseason games have been played, it's alway interesting to see who shows promise early.
