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: Lions v Hawks

📊 Dayne Zorko BRI (DS $11,000 MID, MB $8,600 MID)

Brisbane head coach Chris Fagan has stated for most of the pre-season he wants an even spread in the midfield, Zorko could benefit from the extra midfield assistance.

Zorko doesn’t necessarily require a high amount of disposals to hit his points floor, the likelihood of Hawthorn sending someone to mind Zorko for an entire a pre-season game is low but it is possible.

The inexperienced line-up for the Hawks should allow Brisbane to dominate in the midfield, Zorko will likely be chalk and is in a favourable spot to crush.

📊 James Worpel HAW (DS $11,000 MID/FWD, MB $5,500 MID)

The absence of Tom Mitchell for the season has provided an opportunity for Worpel, he is in a core group of 2nd tier players looking for an increase in midfield usage this season.

Worpel will likely be given a fair run at it in the midfield against Brisbane, the Hawks have an inexperienced line-up with a reduced bench which should result in high game minutes.
