Another big week in TipBetPro land.

NRL tips are out as always (http://www.tipbetpro.com/#!current-round/kzu9o) and following on from last week’s success we have our second Test Match Cricket tip and write-up (http://www.tipbetpro.com/#!tips-and-bets/zxtux) for the England v Sri Lanka series.

Another week of looking for upgrades. We haven’t had a ruck yet, and that’s unlikely to change as I figure everyone can make up their own mind as to when they get Goldy, Gawn or NicNat – Goldy is currently good value, wait a week or 2 for Gawn... And that assumes you didn’t start with 2 of those premium rucks.

This week we are laying out the welcome mat for another mid.

Regular Best Buy readers would know that there has been some discussion about this player in previous comment sections. This player has gone down in value by over $100k, so suffice to say they’ve had a bad start to the year – but they’ve been a slow starter the last 2 years and still recovered to average over 110. They are already in ~18% of teams, but most of those had him from the beginning and of course you’ll be getting him for a lot less. Whilst not likely to be your top midfielder, he can easily fit into your starting line-up. Now if you’ve got cash to spare, then yes by all means spend it on Hannebery, Pendles or maybe even a Neale - however, if you are looking for a bargain, that special Buy of the Week bargain, then look no further than the 2014 Brownlow medallist himself – Mr Matt Priddis.

Again, the format below is:
POSITION Name (CLUB) – current price (expected increase) – AVERAGE

DEFENDERS
Rookies:
M/D Bailey Williams (WBD) - 117k (+34k) - AVG=57 (kid shows a bit but will he keep spot with Boyd, Suckling, Adams etc on the way back)
DEF Oscar McDonald (MEL) - 155k (+14k) - AVG=45

Keepers:
DEF Sam Docherty (CAR) - 555k (+19k) - AVG=109 (was a best buy and still is great buy)
DEF Kade Simpson (CAR) - 557k (0k) - AVG=106
DEF Heath Shaw (GWS) - 639k (+27k) - AVG=120 (203… May be a bit pricey now)

Midfielders
Rookies:
MID Jacob Hopper (GWS) - 194k (+51k) - AVG=90 (oozes class)
MID Connor Blakely (FRE) - 228k (+30k) - AVG=65 (highly impressive and should get increasing opportunities in a depleted Dockers midfield)
MID Bradley McKenzie (NTH) - 242k (+43k) - AVG=91 (spot under pressure if Wells returns)

Keepers: (you probably have a few, but probably need a few more)
MID Matt Priddis (WCE) - 503k (+12k) - AVG=104 (This week’s BoTW)
MID Luke PARKER (SYD) - 555k (-7k) - AVG=118
MID Callan Ward (GWS) - 570k (-5k) - AVG=115
MID Stephen Coniglio (GWS) - 578k (+6k) - AVG=113
MID Steele Sidebottom (COL) - 587k (+6k) - AVG=116
MID Lachie Neale (FRE) - 593k (+10k) - AVG=114
MID Adam Treloar (COL) - 603k (+12k) - AVG=115
MID Daniel Hannebery (SYD) - 621k (-2k) - AVG=120
MID Patrick Dangerfield (GEE) - 634k (-13k) - AVG=124 (will likely go down a bit over the next 2 weeks, but only ~20-30k)
MID Scott Pendlebury (COL) - 645k (+10k) - AVG=120

Rucks
Keepers:
RUC Nic Naitanui (WCE) - 574k (-3k) - AVG=114
RUC Todd Goldstein (NTH) - 575k (+17k) - AVG=119 (Probably won’t be this cheap again)
RUC Max GAWN (MEL) - 581k (-42k) - AVG=111 (I’ve left him here as he is still a gun, but honestly you could wait a week and save yourself some coin)

Forwards
Rookies:
FWD Jonathan Freeman (BRL) - 219k (-1k) - AVG=43
M/F Billy Evans (BRL) - 219k (-1k) - AVG=43 (Only 1 kick against Melbourne, dual position is nice but job security is low)

Keepers:
FWD Josh J. Kennedy (WCE) - 507k (+27k) - AVG=108 (Can no longer ignore this form – but wait and see if he plays this week)
M/F Zac Merrett (ESS) - 514k (+9k) - AVG=105 (A solid effort from last week’s first choice BoTW)
M/F Leigh Montagna (STK) - 540k (-4k) - AVG=104 (and a solid effort from last week’s late-in)
M/F Dustin MARTIN (RIC) - 558k (+7k) - AVG=106
M/F Dayne Zorko (BRL) - 577k (+8k) - AVG=119 (Zorko continues to do well – too obvious to be a BoTW, but a great buy)

Still a week away:
DEF Kieran Collins (WBD) - 117k - AVG=17
M/D Alex Neal-Bullen (MEL) - 231k - AVG=74
MID Rhys Mathieson (BRL) - 117k - AVG=59
MID Trent Dumont (NTH) - 248k - AVG=75
MID Sam Mitchell (HAW) - 482k - AVG=101 (could well be a future BoTW if he returns to his previous best)
MID Robbie Gray (PTA) - 514k - AVG=104
RUC Max GAWN (MEL) - 581k - AVG=111
FWD Jackson Paine (BRL) - 128k - AVG=45
FWD Jarrod Garlett (GCS) - 185k - AVG=58
R/F Trent West (BRL) - 197k - AVG=72
R/F Daniel GORRINGE (CAR) - 222k - AVG=50
R/F Toby Nankervis (SYD) - 227k - AVG=70
R/F Majak DAW (NTH) - 244k - AVG=97

So that’s Best Buys for this week.
