Super Sunday DFS: Unlocking the Kangaroos vs Power Docklands Showdown
Sunday footy heads under the roof at Docklands as North Melbourne takes on Port Adelaide in what shapes up as a daily fantasy goldmine. With a fast deck suiting the Power’s slick ball movement and the Roos’ rising midfield stars eager to make a statement, expect plenty of high-scoring, end-to-end fantasy footy.
Our FootyBets.ai supercomputer has crunched the numbers, and a few undeniable locks have emerged. Here are the must-have players dominating our optimal builds:
Harry Sheezel (MID) - Projected 104.0 pts Appearing in 100% of our optimal lineups, the 'Sheez' is an absolute DFS necessity. He’s a relentless ball magnet who will effortlessly rack up uncontested marks and link-up disposals as he dictates play out of the back half and through the guts.
Zak Butters (MID) - Projected 101.6 pts Another unanimous 10/10 selection. Port’s midfield maestro thrives on the fast Marvel Stadium turf. Expect him to stuff the stat sheet with centre clearances, score involvements, and those crucial tackles that keep his fantasy floor incredibly high.
Ewan Mackinlay (FWD) - Projected 74.6 pts A lock in every single build. Mackinlay is perfectly positioned to hit the scoreboard and gather high-impact forward-half possessions. If Port gets on top early, expect him to be kicking snags and taking marks inside 50.
Jack Watkins (MID) - Projected 56.6 pts Rounding out the 100% club, Watkins is the ultimate role player for your midfield. His gut-running and ability to link up on the outside guarantee a steady stream of uncontested possessions, making him a reliable cog in any DraftStars engine room.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- RUC: It’s a genuine heavyweight clash, but Tristan Xerri edges out Jordon Sweet. Big 'X' gets the nod thanks to his elite tackling numbers and follow-up work at ground level.
- DEF: Look for designated distributors to rack up the +3 kicks. Logan Evans and veteran Luke McDonald are both heavily featured in our builds to mop up across half-back.
- MID: Build around your Sheezel and Butters core, but don't sleep on newly minted Roo Luke Parker for pure inside grunt and clearance work.
- FWD: Lock in Mackinlay, then look to Jy Simpkin—who is spending crucial minutes at the coalface—to boost your forward line with midfield-like disposal numbers.
