Buys

If you can afford the premium option go that way first. Time to gun up but you don’t need me to tell you Campbell/Drinkwater/Teddy/Couchman etc. are good at football and most of which have featured in the buy section of this article in weeks past. That said if you’re working on a budget then here are some options I like.

Nathan Lawson CTR $263’000 Projected Average: 28 BE: 13

Nathan Lawson is still probably the best cash out of the week but obviously that may vary depending on the positions you need to fill. A Dragons winger is nothing to write home about but he’s cheap and should have a job for at least the next few weeks and importantly in round 15 and 18 with Holmes in Origin camp. Handy bye cover and a good way to free up cash for other upgrades.

Tallis Duncan MID/EDG $454’000 Projected Average: 45 BE: 21

A very solid performer with valuable dual position and available for the next two major bye rounds makes Tallis Duncan a solid option. A sin bin in round 11 slowed down his price rises and allowed another two weeks to take a look and a 41 followed by a 58 is encouraging. Should be able work his way up to around 600k.

Kurt Donoghoe HOK/HLF $474’000 Projected Average 47 BE: 17

If you’ve got your fill of Rabbits and perhaps the round 19 availability is more valuable than round 18 for bye planning, then Donoghoe looks a great option and maybe the perfect 18th man to pair with Erin Clark as your hooker cover for the run home with the rest of the position looking like a dumpster fire. The Dolphins are running out of middles and someone will benefit. For a full breakdown click here.

Holds

Jamal Fogarty HLF $707’000 Projected Average: 55 BE: 64

On a bye and last we saw he wasn’t goal kicking which is giving coaches a lot of temptation to sell. It generally doesn’t take too long for these minor groin strains to settle and with another week off now it should do Fogarty the world of good. If he isn’t kicking again in round 16 I may change my tune but with round 18 availability and playing in a top 4 side, the ceiling is still high for Fogarty and he’s still a top 5 half.

Sells

Zac Hosking EDG $583’000 Projected Average: 53 BE: 49

This is an unfortunate one. I had him as a hold last week but I think I’ve seen enough to move on from Hosking this week. He could come good but he’s just not in good form at the moment and even snagging a try isn’t enough to get him to 50. Not a keeper and two byes to come, looks like a trade candidate to elite option playing this week.

Savelio Tamale CTR/WFB $497’000 BE: 56

A long term injury makes Tamale an easy upgrade candidate this week. A shame for it to end this way but he’s done his duty.

Kiti Kautoga EDG/CTR $536’000 BE: 49

If you’ve held this long it might be time to take the cash and run. He kicked on well post the Eels round 8 bye but with a spate of other top line EDG/CTR options and two impending byes in round 15 & 18 leaves Kiti as a good upgrade option.

Spicy Buys

Coen Hess MID/EDG $405’000 Pojected average: 39 BE: 18

Hess is having his best season in quite some time, bumping his PPM up to a very impressive 1. With Cotter, Nanai and Bateman out of the side in the short term and no byes until round 27, Hess looks a great origin cover guy for those wanting a cheaper option than Duncan.
