Sydney
Luke Parker (DK $7,500, DS $13,410) is averaging a team high 24.7 Disposals to go along with his AFL Fantasy average of 93.3pts this season, his midfield usage is expected to be quite high again on Thursday night.
Sydney coach John Longmire has opted to use a limited group at centre bounces in 2020, Parker has been used at 78.4% of CBA’s.
Parker will be a popular selection at his listed salary against the Bulldogs, that needs to be taken into consideration if multi entering.
Western Bulldogs
The Bulldogs have also been running with a narrow group in-game at centre bounces this season, with the injury to inside midfielder Josh Dunkley it is expected Jack Macrae (DK $8,600, DS $16,130) will see an increase at centre bounces on Thursday night.
Macrae was used at 60.0% of team CBA’s in Round 3 which was an increase from 36.0% in Round 2, he’s been used at a rate of 51.6% this season.
Macrae has the highest salary of any player on both platforms, there are opportunities finding more balanced line-ups by fading him on Thursday night however a ceiling type game could elevate line-ups with him included to the top of any leaderboard.

Value
Louis Butler (DK $2,700, DS $5,000) could quite comfortably settle into a half-back role at the Bulldogs, he averaged 18 Disposals in the U18 championships for Vic Metro in 2019.
Butler is able to make excellent decisions coming out of the backline with his delivery equally as good, if the Bulldogs can utilise enough on Thursday night then he should be able exceed his salary expectation.
