Playing DFS in pre-season games does come with a higher level of risk compared to the H&A season, players that are on limited minutes can set line-ups on fire instantly.
Identifying players that will play high game minutes is a crucial element in creating line-ups, second tier players attempting to push for selection in Round 1 can sometimes provide a better alternative than starting those high volume players.

🎯 Targets: Blues v Bombers
📊 Michael Gibbons CAR (DS $11,000 MID, MB $3,500 MID)
Gibbons started slowly in a small Forward type role in a practice match against Hawthorn last week, he looked more settled in the 2nd half where he floated through the Midfield even attending centre bounces.
Like many others at Carlton Gibbons is in a battle for a Round 1 spot, taking advantage of players in a ‘must’ perform situation can be beneficial in DFS especially in highly volatile pre-season games.
Gibbons may not be the highest scoring player for Carlton, but if given a full complement of minutes he can keep the points ticking over well into junk time.
AFL DFS: 2018 Carlton Volume Report
📊 Darcy Parish ESS (DS $11,000 MID/FWD, MB $6,600 MID)
In the last 16 months the Bombers have recruited Devon Smith & Dylan Shiel, this has and will impact slightly on the Midfield usage for Darcy Parish.
Parish has no choice but to force his way up the now deep Midfield depth chart at the Bombers, he averaged 22.0 Disposals in his final 7 games of the 2018 season.
Considering the quality & quantity of players on limited game time, Parish could be one of those that finishes with a high amount of minutes played.
