AFL FANTASY TAKE

Oleg Markov averaged 42.7pts from 6 games in 2020 at the Tigers, he scored a season high 54pts in Round 12.

Markov was limited for opportunities at the Tigers, at Gold Coast he’ll likely be used across half back which opens up his fantasy potential.

It would be worthwhile placing Markov on your pre-season watch list, he’s likely value in AFL Fantasy classic & a decent late round selection in 10 team standard draft leagues.
