GWS Giants vs St Kilda at MANUKA Oval (STK -3.5, Total 160.5)

 

Weather


Perfect conditions in Canberra this Friday night for football. Lets play some fantasy football!

Where to Attack?
 


The Saints have been setting up to allow the opposition back line to possess the football as they choke off the entry to the corridor as most good teams do. This has resulted in them conceding the second most points in the league to defenders and sets up as the perfect position to load up on for GWS.
 


GWS have been getting killed in the ruck this season, and while they will get Preuss back this week, they can still be taken advantage at this position. The challenge will be the fact that both sides are playing two rucks in this matchup. The Saints best scoring option, Marshall, can often spend long periods forward, but with Ryder now out we saw him dominate the ruck contests last week with over 80% of the sides hit outs.


Game Script – GWS backs, STK mids and forwards


VALUE PLAYS

Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera ($6,320) is still priced slightly above the minimum price despite posting back to back 62 and 68 fantasy point performances. He is playing a great fantasy role across half back and pushing up onto the wing and the Saints have been looking to get the ball in his hand to utilise his attacking kicking skills.

Tanner Bruhn ($8,210) has been getting plenty of opportunity through the midfield attending approximately 40% of the teams centre bounces this season. His price has seen a slight bump this week after he posted his second 75+ point score of the season in Round 5. A score in this range is still great return in a single game slate for this price point and you can expect Bruhn to be one of the most popular plays on the slate.


MID PRICED PLAYS

Isaac Cumming ($11,430) is the half back the Giants love to get the ball into the hands of as the primary kick in taker for the side. He offers over 100 point upside at this mid range price and as noted above has one of the best matchups in the league for his position. I will be looking to link Cumming up with other GWS backs.


PREMIUM PLAYS

Lachie Whitefield ($13,800) is one of the players I will be linking up with Cumming. He is still priced under $14k and over the last three weeks has posted 91, 96 and 101. He plays across the half back line and onto the wing and should benefit from the matchup against the Saints who leak points to these roles.

Jack Steele ($16,590) has yet to score under 100 fantasy points this season and is looking back into the form we saw last year with 112 and 130 from the last two weeks. I think the Saints will win this game and as a result I will be following the game script of Giants backs with Saints midfielders and forwards. There is plenty of value on offer to fit in Steele’s price point, which will likely go over the $17k mark in the next few weeks.
