Collingwood
Steele Sidebottom COLL (DK $7,600, DS $15,800) was quiet in Round 11 but overall his 2020 season has been reasonably solid, he is averaging 23.0 Disposals, 3.7 Marks & 4.1 Tackles for an average of 89.1pts.
Sidebottom has a decent history against the Demons, he has averaged 29.0 Disposals for 117.3pts* in his lat 3 games dating back to 2018.
With Sidebottom scoring just 61pts against the Crows in what should have been an ideal match up in Round 11 many will likely avoid him in Round 12, there is an opportunity to select a premium scoring player with a depressed ownership on Saturday.
Melbourne
Clayton Oliver MELÂ (DK $8,300, DS $17,440)Â continues to deliver the fantasy scores this season, he has averaged 112.2pts from his last 5 games averaging 29.0 Disposals.
The match-up against Collingwood on Saturday should be friendly enough for Oliver to to record Disposals without little attention, the Magpies rely heavily on their midfield winning the ball without locking down heavily on premium opposition Mids.
In a day where weather could impact all 3 games, Oliver is worth high consideration.

Value
Brayden Preuss MEL (DK $4,000, DS $7,510)Â will start as the No.1 Ruck for the Demons on Saturday, the last time he started as a solo ruck for the Demons he recorded 14 Disposals, 5 Marks, 3 Tackles & 44 Hit Outs for 108pts* matched up against Matthew Kreuzer in Round 16 last season.
Preuss is coming off an injury interrupted season thus far and has had limited match conditioning, however based on his low salary & the scoring opportunity the chance of exceeding value is quite strong.
Preuss will be a popular selection on Saturday.
