GWS Giants

Lachie Whitfield GWS (DK $7,300, DS $15,010) scored a season high 88pts last week recording 24 Disposals & 6 Marks, he is likely to see an increase in usage across half back on Sunday with the unavailability of defender Zac Williams (Hamstring).

Whitfield has the ability of scoring quickly if left unattended in defence, his ceiling is definitely in play on Sunday in what should be fine conditions.

Fremantle

Michael Walters FRE (DK $7,700, DS $15,470) is in a favourable match-up against an under performing Adelaide midfield on Sunday, he was used at 54.5% of CBA’s last week but could see an increase this week due to the unavailability of Nat Fyfe.

Walters will spend time forward and can hit the scoreboard, he is averaging a team high 21.8 Disposals & 1.5 Goals this season.

The Crows are conceding a league worst 319.8 Disposals to go along with a league worst 87.3pts per game this season, if those numbers continue in Round 5 then Walters is in a prime spot to deliver a ceiling game.

Value

Caleb Serong FRE (DK $4,200, DS $17,570) was impressive in his AFL debut last week, he was used at 45.5% of team CBA’s scoring 60.0pts.

The opportunity for Serong to improve this week on opportunity & score is certainly available, premium midfielder Nat Fyfe (Hamstring) is unavailable through injury which could see a decent increase in midfield usage on Sunday.

Serong is a contested ball winning midfielder, the match-up against Adelaide is also appealing with the Crows ranked last in Disposal differential (-72.3 per per game) as well as contested possessions (-23.3 per game) this season.

Serong is still excellent value on both platforms despite his elevated salary.
