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: Dockers v Magpies
📊 Adam Cerra FRE (DS $11,000 MID/FWD, MB $4,400 MID)
There are opportunities available in the Fremantle midfield this season due to the departure of Lachie Neale & the current injuries to Stephen Hill & Connor Blakely, Cerra is part of a young developing group that will likely see an increase in midfield usage.
Cerra averaged 13.7 Disposals from 21 games in his first year at Fremantle in 2018, he recorded a season high 30 Disposals against Adelaide in Round 12, he also recorded 23 Disposals against Melbourne in Round 16.
📊 Steele Sidebottom COLL (DS $11,000 MID, MB $9,200 MID)
The absence of Taylor Adams & Adam Treloar narrows the focus for premium Collingwood midfield options on Monday night, Sidebottom did not take part in the practice match against Melbourne last week due to AFL X so it’s likely he will complete high minutes.
Sidebottom averaged 29.3 Disposals last season, he recorded 25 Disposals in 73.1% of games. Sidebottom averaged 111.6pts from winning games last season, Collingwood are -14.5 favourites and are up against a Fremantle midfield that is on the thin side.
