Because of this some players have been included in the Best Buys almost every week based on their numbers, but I'm sure you are all getting just as sick of reading about those same players every week as I am writing about them. So the Best Buys has now added a new section, the Regulars, who are the players that are constantly there and probably don't need any more written about them. This should mean more room for POD choices, and a bit more of a look beyond the more obvious selections.

While his scoring has been fairly inconsistent he is dirt cheap this round, and would make excellent cover for the remainder of the season. For those with Vlaustin still in their side it will cost only 30 grand to make the upgrade, even with his poor recent scoring. The Lions draw is also one of the best in the league from here, making him an even tastier option.






DEFENSE
ROOKIES



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2329&name=Mitchell Clisby">Mitchell Clisby[/url] (MEL) DEF 147.7k 59 +33k
Mitch Clisby has been good so far for the Dee's, averaging 59 in the backline and seeming to lock down a spot in their 22. He burst his bubble last week and has seen a decent price rise as a result, but his current price of under 150 grand shows it isn't too late to jump on for emergency cover.



MID-PRICERS



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=749&name=Scott D. Thompson">Scott D. Thompson[/url] (NM) DEF 485.3k 99
Scotty T has been a solid performer for the Roo's this year, averaging 99 for the season and 103 over the last 3 games. Priced a little under his average he offers a bit of value, but more importantly is only in 11,000 teams so far and therefore offers good POD value.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=377&name=Pearce Hanley">Pearce Hanley[/url] (BRI) DEF 411.1k 98
Hanley has put in a solid year, but along with the rest of the Lions has been a bit hot and cold at times. This has meant two scores 50 or under which has dropped his price to just over 410 grand but he's looking at a near 25 grand price rise this week. Priced well under his 98 average he is in just under 60,000 teams and a decent investment, even better as cover.

<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2322&name=Brandon Jack">Brandon Jack[/url] (SYD) MID 135.5k 50 +45k
Jack is no longer on the bubble, but similar to Clisby has a decent average and is still priced well enough to bring in. Likely to rise by around 45 grand this week he has looked good for the Swans and has continued to improve.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2089&name=Tom Sheridan">Tom Sheridan[/url] (FRE) MID 115.9k 45 +28k
Sheridan is on the bubble this week and facing a near 30 grand price rise, but has relatively unknown job security. Averaging 45 he appears a decent prospect but considering the quality on most midfield benches currently not many will be tempted.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=2327&name=Andrew Boston">Andrew Boston[/url] (GCS) MID 96.2k 10 -12k
Wait, what? Boston's average of 10 means he will likely actually lose money after his next game, and not much else really needs to be said. Avoid him.

<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=244&name=Joel Selwood">Joel Selwood[/url] (GEE) MID 528.7k 109
Ducky bounced back in a big way on the weekend, pumping out a 151 in a great effort putting away the Hawks. Now averaging 109 for the year and priced at under 530 grand he offers excellent value and while reasonably popular has still made it into less than 70,000 teams so far.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=413&name=Sam Mitchell">Sam Mitchell[/url] (HAW) MID 503.4k 108
Mitchell has been in and out of the Best Buys this year, but his 500 grand price tag and 108 average are currently too good to leave out. Facing a 20 grand price rise this week and in around 45,000 teams his role off half-back should mean continued solid scoring.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=161&name=David Mundy">David Mundy[/url] (FRE) MID 534.6k 106
Mundy has been good so far this season, but hasn't quite gotten up to the elite level a few coaches were hoping for pre-season. Averaging 106 in a tough fantasy environment at Freo he offers good POD value in only 13,000 teams, and is priced pretty well. Likely to go up by nearly 20 grand this week, Mundy will be key to Freo's finals drive.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=884&name=Ryan BASTINAC">Ryan BASTINAC[/url] (NM) MID 487.6k 90
Bastinac has been up and down this season, only managing to average 90 so far, but has been in impressive form recently averaging 122 from his last 3 games. This does of course mean that his average has been inflated a bit by that though and indicates the level of risk he presents. A massive POD in only 4,000 teams, if he can maintain his current level of scoring he will be an excellent risk to take.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=214&name=Jarrad McVeigh">Jarrad McVeigh[/url] (SYD) MID 511.7k
McVeigh has been in near career best form this year, averaging 107 but still priced well at just over 510 grand. Only in a little over 5,000 teams so far he offers great POD value, and is a strong and consistent competitor.



PREMIUMS



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=404&name=Ryan Griffen">Ryan Griffen[/url] (WBD) MID 664.9k 126
Griff let down a few coaches on the weekend, scoring 107 instead of the 140's he'd been producing prior, and this will mean a drop in price this week of nearly 10 grand but playing against Essendon he will be likely to bounce back. Could save some cash by waiting a week on him, but as he is still in only around 25,000 teams he remains a solid POD.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=365&name=Patrick Dangerfield">Patrick Dangerfield[/url] (ADE) MID 630.2k 117
Dangerfield has come back into the kind of form that had coaches locking him in before the pre-season games even started this year, averaging 142 over his last 3 games to bring his years average up to a strong 117. Now in the leading group of players he has now repaid the faith of the near 80,000 coaches that kept him in spades.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=134&name=Dane Swan">Dane Swan[/url] (COL) MID 590.9k 117
Swannie is facing a price drop this week due to his poor match a few weeks ago, but belted out a big game against the Blues last week and he'll make up what he loses over the following weeks. Priced at 590 grand and averaging 117 for the year he should be snapped up if you're not one of the 110,000 coaches who have grabbed him already. Soon to be a regular.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=806&name=Michael BARLOW">Michael BARLOW[/url] (FRE) MID 604k 114
Barlow returned from his head knock and performed well enough, without really firing massively. Now priced at a little over 600 grand he probably won't increase in price much this week, but has the Derby coming and a very tasty draw leading to the finals. Sitting in under 30,000 teams so far Barlow also offers decent POD value.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=408&name=Ryan OKeefe">Ryan OKeefe[/url] (SYD) MID 555.5k 109
ROK hasn't seemed to be too drastically affected by the rise of the Swans young players this year, averaging 109 and looking at a near 20 grand price rise this week. Currently on the cheap side for his average he is also a great POD in just over 5,000 teams. For many it's too early to be looking for premium cover, but for those that are ROK is a great smoky.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=273&name=Kieren Jack">Kieren Jack[/url] (SYD) MID 555.3k 113
Jack has been the best performing Swan so far this season, averaging 113 and putting him in the leading group of SC scorers. He may have a small price drop this week, but playing against GWS should mean he manages another big score. With only 16,000 selections so far it seems that the majority of coaches went for JPK and don't have room for another Sydney mid.

McEvoy has been in the Best Buys a few times so far this year, but as his average is over 100 now he gets another mention. Still priced at under 450 grand but facing a decent rise this week McEvoy offers good value but obviously lacks consistency at times.

<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=323&name=Matthew Leuenberger">Matthew Leuenberger[/url] (BRI) RUC 504.1k 101
Leuey has also been mentioned a bit, but mainly earlier on due to his cheap price. This time it's based on his form, as his average is now over 100 and he's looking at a 15 grand price rise this week. Still in around 45,000 teams he isn't a great POD, but with the exception of Geelong in the SC Grand Final he has an excellent run home.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=321&name=Matthew Kreuzer">Matthew Kreuzer[/url] (CAR) RUC 501.1k 95
Kreuez managed to be one of few good scoring players for Carlton last week, bringing his 3 week average to 119 and his year's to 95. Now priced at just over 500 grand he isn't the same value he was earlier, but is still looking at a near 20 grand price rise this week and is growing in popularity with 25,000 selections.

<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=76&name=Brent Harvey">Brent Harvey[/url] (NM) M/F 473.5k 104
Boomer has continued on with his form after the late start to the year, while not managing 120's he has kept his average to 104 and is now priced at under 475 grand. Likely to jump back up to nearly 500 grand this week he is offering good value in the forward line for the almost 20,000 coaches with him so far.



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=482&name=Travis Cloke">Travis Cloke[/url] (COL) FWD 466.3k 99
Cloke has been up and down this year, but a lot less so than last. Averaging 99 for the season and 104 for his last 3 games he is in decent form, and is still clearly the main marking target up forward for the Pies. A bit risky with his scoring so far but with nearly 46,000 coaches grabbing him so far there's a decent amount of faith in him.



PREMIUMS



<a href="http://tooserious.net/Player.aspx?id=454&name=Steve Johnson">Steve Johnson[/url] (GEE) M/F 575.4k 116
Stevie J makes his return from an MRP-induced holiday this week, and with an average of 116 for the year looks a great grab for those that don't have him. He is already in almost 60,000 squads this season, but his price of 575 grand and increased midfield time must be pretty tempting. A good run home and should stay one of the leading SC forwards.
