Sorry Walesy for bumping the EPL.  If you want to enjoy that comp: <a href="http://tooserious.net/?p=600">http://tooserious.net/?p=600[/url]

But its now crunch time and time for some Best Buys.   Keep your eyes out for selection issues this week.  Chapman and Ballantyne are already scratchings, and with players like ROK and Montagna also under the gun, its going to be an all important selection session tomorrow night, particularly for Comp leaders (and players like Chris and Woody).

My one piece of advice is try to get a playing emergency as even when players are selected they are no certainties to play - they can be late withdrawals.

Anyway, on with the show:

No use cash cowing unless you have 5 trades, maybe if you have 4 and some cover.  So Im just going to put two columns this time - "If Money is no object" and "Best Value".  All should be aiming to get 100 points this week or more - all these guys are capable of that.

DEF
If Money is no object:
1) Goddard - the best defender bar none
2) H.Shaw - in ripping form, not getting the tags thanks to Toovey / role clarification.
3) Broughton - why would you have not got him at 83k?
4) Enright - on a purple patch
5) Hodge - because hes Hodge

Best Value:
1) Drummond (427500) - paper thin hamstrings but no better kick in the league.  Love watching him play - his kicks travel twice as quick as others.
2) Newman (463100) - generally solid.  No touches, but loved by Champion Data
3) Lockyer (434100) - but does better in Pie defeats...?
4) S Fisher (398200) - could still turn it on with Gilbert missing a bit of footy
5) Grimes (433400) - thought he was gone...but hes BAAACK

MID
If Money is no object:
1) Ablett - cheapest he will ever be, will eat Carlton up
2) Montagna - the best of the Saints - buyer beware though - COULD BE INJURED!
3) Swan - the real deal this year, though Id prefer him after the Crows game
4) NDS/Hayes - cant split them.  Saints have a cruisy run.  Get on board toot toot.
5) Selwood - rich vein of form (and not screwed by CD like Bartel is in 2009)

Best Value:
1) Pendlebury (468500) - still great value after huge scores on return
2) J Bolton (469300) - amazingly averages close to Pendles at similar price - but tough run for Swans means buyer beware
3) Sewell (529900) - looks value for Sewell
4) Judd (525700) - low for Juddy but Hello Paddlepop Lion this week (LING)
5) Corey (518400) - but could be Hello Fev is Bomber Thompson is to be believed

FWD
If Money is no object:
* Steering clear of injuries or rumours of injuries
1) Riewoldt - I do this every year
2) Brown - I do this every year
3) Davis - nice run home
4) Goodwin - a great player SC-wise and hes value too
5) Didak - when he is good he is very very good

Best Value:
* Apart from Goodwin!
1) Pavlich (463300) - super value, back to form - warning Geelong Rd22
2) Harvey (443700) - quality mid assigned as a forward in SuperCoach for an unknown reason
3) Davey (406800) - should get some points - assume no injury setbacks
4) Thomas (391700) - cant believe Im writing this, but my boy has come good - FINALLY!!!!
5) Franklin (473000)- ditto to the above!

RUC
Only the best for the Rucks - too few fit ones left
1) Sandilands - lovely soft run
2) McIntosh
3) Jolly
4) Clark - harder run home
5) Petrie
