$75k kitty on Saturday and $60k for Sunday

Good luck and please, gamble responsibly.

Dion Prestia (MID, $11,770)

Saturday v North Melbourne

Prestia returned from injury last week in impressive form with 109. The Tigers are decimated the moment in the middle, Prestia is their main man.

He attended 75% of the CBAs (Centre-Bounce Attendances) and this match-up is a juicy one as he takes on one of the easiest teams to score against this year.

Brayden Fiorini (MID, $13,720)

Saturday v Carlton

Coming off 119, let’s not forget that Fiorini had a rough-high 142 in round 19, and even had 109 and 113 prior to that. I’ve said it before but Fiorini is a point scoring machine!

Carlton shouldn’t offer him too much resistance either, they couldn’t stop Touk Miller earlier this year when he rolled on with 140.

Rowan Marshall (R/F, $12,980)

Saturday v Sydney

Once again… No Ryder and No Hunter… no worries.

This means that Marshall will be rucking solo just like he did last week when he had 139. Now… he’s not up against the son of SOS this week, he is up against Tom Hickey. But over the last few weeks, Hickey has been giving up some points and at this price as the solo ruck, I don’t think you can go wrong.

Trey Ruscoe (DEF, $7,750)

Sunday v Hawthorn

He’s cheap, has a good match-up and coming off 102.

Not much more needs to be said as we cross our fingers that the role is there once again for Ruscoe who found plenty of the ball last week and this match-up should be even easier.

Bailey Smith (MID, $13,820)

Sunday v Essendon

You can’t trust Luke Beverage… but for a one week hit in Draftstars you might as well have a go at the bet Dog at the moment in Bailey Smith. Coming off scores of 118 125, 98, 107 he has hit some really awesome form.

Essendon have been the 7th easiest for teams to score against recently, so maybe he can keep his hot streak going.

Steele Sidebottom (M/F, $13,080)

Sunday v Hawthorn

Steele is a popular option in AFL Fantasy this week and therefore should also be looked at for your DS team and here are the reasons why

  • Round 18 – Pendlebury plays a full game and Steele has 0 CBAs
  • Round 19 – Pendlebury injured in the first term, Steele has 16 CBAs
  • Round 20 – Pendlebury doesn’t play… Steele has 15 CBAs
  • Coming off scores of 114 and 88 he is back in the middle and has an awesome match-up here at the MCG.
  • 93 was his last score on the Hawks, prior to that he had 6×100+ scores

REMINDER: Final teams for Sunday are announced tonight and be sure to check final teams before entering your team to play.
