Gawn in 60 Seconds: Big Maxy and Magpie Value Dominate Saturday’s DraftStars Slate!
Saturday in Round 15 serves up a spectacular three-course footy feast, featuring the Giants hosting Carlton, the Pies clashing with Port at the MCG, and the Crows taking on Melbourne in a high-stakes Adelaide Oval encounter. With major fantasy implications across all three matchups, finding the right mix of premium stars and value enablers is the key to conquering the Saturday slate.
Our AI has crunched the numbers and generated the Top 10 optimal DraftStars lineups. Here are the key players dominating the projections:
- Max Gawn (RUC, Melbourne): The ultimate set-and-forget option. Big Maxy appears in 10/10 optimal lineups with a massive projection of 116.9. Expect him to dominate the hitouts at Adelaide Oval and rack up marks around the ground.
- Jeremy Howe (DEF, Collingwood): Lock him in. Appearing in 10/10 lineups with a projected 82.3, Howe is primed to intercept at will against Port Adelaide's forward entries.
- Joel Fitzgerald (MID, Melbourne) & Xavier Bamert (MID, Port Adelaide): Both young guns are present in 10/10 optimal lineups. Fitzgerald (projected 81.2) and Bamert (projected 79.3) provide the perfect scoring floors to help you balance your roster.
- Jack Steele (MID, Melbourne): Since pulling on the red and blue, Steele has been a fantasy beast. He features in 8/10 lineups with a hefty 102.6 projection, driven by his trademark tackle pressure and inside ball-winning.
- Jordan Dawson (MID, Adelaide Crows): The highest-projected player on the slate at a massive 126.2. Appearing in 7/10 lineups, the Crows skipper is the ultimate ceiling play on his home deck.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- Ruck: Max Gawn. Don't overthink it; lock the Dees skipper in and lock down those easy points.
- Defense: Jeremy Howe is your bankable mid-tier option, but if you want pure ceiling, GWS veteran Lachie Whitfield (projected 117.9) is worth every cent.
- Midfield: Lock in value with Joel Fitzgerald and Xavier Bamert, allowing you to pay up for the sheer point-scoring power of Jordan Dawson.
- Forward: Collingwood's Ned Long (7/10 lineups, projected 71.2) is the standout forward target to keep your scoring ticking over.
