Collingwood
Scott Pendlebury (DK $7,400, DS $15,010) is averaging 27.0 Disposals per game this season (Collingwood Rank 1), midfielder Adam Treloar returns on Friday which will disrupt the CBA’s for the Magpies.
Jamie Elliott & Jordan DeGoey are likely to see a reduction in centre bounce against Essendon, the CBA’s for Pendlebury should remain quite high.
Pendlebury has averaged 33.0 Disposals (119.8pts*) in his last 4 games against Essendon, he should thrive in expected wet conditions on Friday night.
Essendon
Andrew McGrath (DK $7,600, DS $14,310) is one of the higher priced Mids on Friday night, he is averaging 22.0 Disposals & a team high 6.7 Tackles this season.
McGrath has moved permanently into the midfield rotation this season at the Bombers, he has recorded 72.3% of CBA’s from 3 games.
Wet conditions will not likely hinder the clean ball use of McGrath, he may be on the lighter side of ownership compared to Collingwood Mids.

Value
Mitch Hibberd (DK $3,100, DS $5,000) makes his way back to AFL level on Friday night, he averaged 23.4 Disposals, 3.3 Marks & 7.3 Tackles playing through the midfield in the VFL last season.
Ownership for Hibberd given his low salary on Friday night will be high, there is no doubt selecting him will provide much needed salary relief in order to roster premium scoring players.
The value for Hibberd is way too hard to ignore.
