Gold Coast
The midfield usage should be strong on Saturday for Brayden Fiorini, he did see a dip in centre bounce usage last week.
He has averaged 116.8pts from his last 5 games, this included a season high 142pts in Round 19.
Fiorini is a genuine ceiling type player, expect moderate to strong ownership.
St Kilda
Rowan Marshall will carry most of the work load at the No.1 ruck spot for the Saints on Saturday, he scored 139pts last week in ideal circumstances with the late omission of Paddy Ryder & the early injury to Tom DeKoning.
Marshall does have a pretty decent ceiling when he is running in a solo ruck situation, Tom Hickey is a tough match-up in hit out situations but Marshall is strong accumulating in other fantasy scoring categories.
Expect strong ownership on Saturday.

Value
Matthew Kennedy was used back in the midfield last week after being played forward in Round 19 due to a lack of available tall options in the Carlton team.
Removing his forward usage in Round 19, he has averaged 99.5pts between Rounds 14-20.
It is expected Carlton coach David Teague will hold Kennedy in the midfield on Saturday.
Ownership is likely to be strong.
