FootyBets.aiPort Stack City: Powering Up Your DraftStars Lineups Against the Saints
Sunday afternoon footy at the pristine Adelaide Oval serves up a mouth-watering daily fantasy clash as Port Adelaide hosts St Kilda. The Power will be looking to dictate terms and dominate possession on their home deck, and the data suggests a heavy Port stack is the key to climbing the leaderboards. Expect a contested bloodbath early before Port’s outside runners break the game open.
Our FootyBets.ai algorithm has crunched the numbers, and a clear core of must-have players has emerged:
Zak Butters (MID) Appearing in 100% of our optimal builds, Butters is projected for a massive 105.5 points. He is the ultimate daily fantasy weapon, racking up high-impact disposals, inside 50s, and breaking the lines. Expect a huge ceiling game.
Ollie Wines (MID) The absolute bull of the Port engine room. He’s another 100% lock, projected for 91.1 points. Wines will feast on contested ball and tackles, providing an incredibly safe floor for your lineups.
Rowan Marshall (RUC) Even with the Power tipped to dominate, Marshall finds his way into every single optimal lineup. The Saints big man doesn't just rely on hit-outs; his ability to act as an extra midfielder, take intercept marks, and lay tackles makes him game-script proof.
Jack Watkins (MID) Rounding out the 100% club, Watkins is the perfect midfield connector. He’ll find plenty of the pill on the outside, linking up play and padding his score with uncontested marks.
Kane Farrell (DEF) In 9 out of 10 optimal lineups, Farrell is your designated distributor. Look for him to take the kick-ins and rack up those juicy +6s (kick and mark) across half-back.
Position-by-Position Quick Tips
- RUC: Rowan Marshall is the standout, but if you want to zig when others zag, Port's Jordon Sweet is popping up in 30% of builds as a solid point-of-difference.
- DEF: Lock in Kane Farrell for his elite foot skills and pair him with the high-upside intercepting of Josh Lai.
- MID: It’s a Port Adelaide party. Anchor your engine room with Butters and Wines, and sprinkle in Willem Drew for pure tackling volume.
- FWD: Jason Horne-Francis is the alpha here. He rotates heavily through the guts, combining clearance points with scoreboard impact.
