After crunching all the numbers for the games ahead, here are our best selections for the weekend. Good luck!

Cameron Guthrie (MID, $14,780)

Saturday Vs Adelaide @ the Adelaide Oval

In 2020, Adelaide ranked as the easiest team to score against. When the AAMI Community Series kicked off, we released that nothing has changed as Port Adelaide had a day out against the struggling Crows with seven Port Players scored 99+ that day.

Guthrie is unique. He’s expensive but in AFL Fantasy he only features in just 1 per cent of teams. This means, he maybe over-looked again. He scored 150 on the Crows last year and should be dominant once again.

Chad Warner (FWD, $5,000)

Saturday Vs Brisbane @ the GABBA

Rookies are a critical part of forming a Draftstars team and after his 70pts in the AAMI Community Series Warner needs to be considered. Selected at pick No. 39 in the NAB AFL Draft in 2019, Warner averaged 18 disposals and 7 tackles in the U/18 Championships and if named, he will make an immediate impact.

Andrew Gaff (MID, $16,270)

Sunday Vs Gold Coast @ Optus Stadium

Gaff is a ball-magnet. He loves playing the Suns, a team he has scored 123, 144 and 122 against in his last three games. What make his very enticing this weekend is the fact he plays home, back at Optus Stadium where he has scored over 100 in 26 of his last 29 games. Gaff is worth paying up for and in the final game of the round, he could bring your team home strong.

Matthew Flynn (RUC, $8,660)

Sunday Vs St Kilda @ Giants Stadium

“In like Flynn” – After Brayden Preuss went down with a shoulder injury, the GWS coaching staff turned to the big man in waiting. He was officially tapped on the shoulder early this week and will play his first game against another rookie in Paul Hunter.

Tom Powell (MID, $5,000)

Sunday Vs Port Adelaide @ Marvel Stadium

This kid can play! Powell was drafted at pick No. 13 and was a prolific ball-winner as junior. He averaged 35 disposals in the U/18 Championships and scored an impressive 64 in their teams loss to Hawthorn in the AAMI Community Series.

Tom Stewart (DEF, $14,870)

Saturday Vs Adelaide @ the Adelaide Oval

As I mentioned, the Crows give up plenty of points. In the pre-season game, Port took 190 marks and their defenders had the majority of them. Houston (16), Bonner (15) and Alir Alir (14) where everywhere as the Crows let them do as they pleased.

Coming off 112 in his pre-season, the writing is on the wall for Tom Stewart to take 12+ marks and to pump out a massive score on Saturday afternoon.

REMINDER: Teams for Saturday are announced tonight with Sunday games being announced on Saturday night. Be sure to check final teams before entering your team to play.
