Red and White Domination: DraftStars Swans vs Saints Preview
The Sydney Swans host St Kilda at the SCG this Sunday, and our AI is predicting an absolute red-and-white onslaught. The Saints will have their work cut out for them stopping a rampant Swans outfit on their home deck, making this fixture a fantasy goldmine for Sydney stackers. Expect fast-paced, high-scoring footy that will reward aggressive fantasy coaches.
Here are the key players our AI is locked onto for this clash:
- Brodie Grundy (RUC): Lock him in. Appearing in 100% of our optimal lineups with a projected 112.3 points, Grundy is set to dominate the hitout battle, while his elite follow-up work around the ground will yield plenty of clearances and tackles.
- Harry Kyle (DEF) & Caiden Cleary (MID): Both are staples in all 10 optimal lineups. Kyle’s intercept marking and rebounding prowess (projected 67.6) make him a defensive must-have, while Cleary’s fierce pressure and contested ball-winning (projected 61.5) offer a rock-solid points floor.
- Angus Sheldrick (MID): Selected in 9/10 lineups, Sheldrick (projected 78.8) is primed to feast on center clearances and rack up uncontested possessions on the wing.
- Charlie Curnow (FWD): Primed for a big day out, Curnow (9/10 lineups, projected 75.2) is expected to clunk plenty of marks inside 50 and spearhead the Swans' attack with multiple goals.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- RUC: Brodie Grundy. The ultimate set-and-forget option who will comfortably win the ruck battle.
- DEF: Nick Blakey. Projected for a massive 99.2 points, "The Lizard" will drive the Swans transition with his trademark run and carry.
- MID: Isaac Heeney. A high-ceiling premium option (projected 109.1) with massive goal-kicking upside.
- FWD: Chad Warner. Pure class in the forward half, Warner (projected 92.7) is capable of explosive, high-possession quarters.
