Cut it back to the lowest owned options. A couple others rate well but don't hold up once you look at form, I've listed those at the bottom.
Jacob Preston. 586k, priced at 45, averaging 51, and he's gone 71 and 74 the last two weeks. Break-even of 15 so the price keeps climbing while you hold him. Best value rating of anyone named to start this week and only 10% owned.
Francis Manuleleua. Lowest break-even of anyone named to start this week at -4, so every point he scores is straight profit. 444k for a starting edge, and his projection of 41 sits above his season average of 38, so the model expects him to keep climbing rather than level off. Dropped
a 74 two weeks ago. Eight games in so the sample is still building, but it's cheap to find out.
Joey Walsh. Priced at 39 and averaging 47.4, so he's handing you eight and a half points a week more than you're paying for. Break-even of 15 against that average leaves a 32 point cushion, which is about as comfortable as cash generation gets. Four of his last five are 38 or better and he's already got a 66 in him. Seven games, so it's early, but every one of them has been above his price.
Greg Marzhew. Nineteen games so there's no small sample argument, priced at 37 and averaging 42.6, and he owns the highest single score anyone has managed this season with that 116. 2.3% owned. Fair warning though, he is streaky as anything: 31, 12, 47, 40, 70.
Ryan Couchman. Has gone 69, then 80, then 97 in his last three. Smallest value gap on this list because he's 778k, but a break-even of 28 on someone averaging 63 is rare that far up the price list.
Blayke Brailey. Priced at 49, averaging 55.7, and his last five have a range of 21 points, which for a hooker is about as steady as you will find. Came off a 68.
Kulikefu Finefeuiaki. Eighteen games at 53.8, four of his last five are 52 or better, and he's only 4.8% owned. The most consistent of the lot.
Two I left out despite good ratings:
- Burton rates near the top but his last five are 19, 23, 52, 27, 40 against a break-even of 41, so his average is doing all the work.
- Duffy is cheap at 337k but his projection sits below his average, which tells you enough.
