Mate its a good effort and a good looking team on paper, but can i give you some words of wisdom from someone who picked a similar type team in my first year in fantasy football.
I made the mistake of trying to get 25 players that are going to play everyweek. Whn in actual fact you dont necessarily need to start off like this.
Your starting side and 4 reserves have to be starters in everymatch every week, dont have any bench players on your bench, getting players who play minutes everyweek are vital.
It looks to me you have got 25 first graders, now your probably saying yeah of course i have, but most of your choices look like obvious picks to me, here is an idea....
Take 5 or 6 of the obvious ones out, maybe one from each positiion and see how much money you have, now do some research and find 5 or 6 players at much lower value than the original 6 that have HUGE potential or that will atleast play in 1st grade even off the bench. Now once you have them use the funds you have saved to increase the quality of players in your starting 17. Trust me.
Now the 5 or 6 newbies, dont worry if they start to score points and you dont have them in your starting 17 becuase you already have improved your starting side with the extra funds you have, but the bonus is those 5 or 6 are now going up in $ value... sit back, pray for no injuries to your 17 starters and then when the time is right, trade in the 5 or 6 newbies (1 at a time) when they have peaked for a depth buy or to replace an injured starter using the starters value plus the increase in the newbie value.
SOme examples of last years newbies that shone.... buhrer, DCE (obvious), the hooker from the gold coast who slips my mind, and of course gareth whiddop, not all were newbies to the comp but all were underated at the start of the year.
Oh and final tip, dont ever waste a trade unless you are replacing a long term injury or you are improving your team.
thanx for the tips! its quite confusing hahaha
