Selecting the right players to trade in, and out of your side is vital. Here, we’ll run through the best rookies to bring in, who are important for cash generation, and the rookies to dump. We’ll also look at the premiums, which you’ll look to upgrade your rookies to.
Money Makers
Brandon Jack (MID) - Price: $159,700 - Breakeven: -5
Ben Ross (MID) - $102,400 – 14
Tim Broomhead (FWD) - $123,900 - 26
Jack Martin (MID) - $222,300 - 58
Not much to pick from this week. All of Jack, Ross and Broomhead don’t have great JS and they’re likely to wear the green vest, so they won’t make a lot of cash. Martin is a good option, though, as he's likely to play the rest of the year and should avoid the green vest. He will get better as the season progresses and scored 66 in his first full game.
Dump
Tom Langdon (DEF/MID) - $370,100 - 131
Dom Tyson (MID) - $419,600 - 88
Tom Derickx (RUC) - $300,100 - 86
Luke McDonald (DEF/MID) - $330,600 - 75
Langdon lost a lot of cash last week, after being subbed out. He has a huge breakeven, so it’s time to cash him in. Tyson would be handy as bench cover, but if you need the cash, trade him before he goes down in price again. Derickx is starting to lose cash and with Pyke in the side, he has to go. McDonald is another who has peaked, so look to move him on.
Watchlist
Shane Kersten (FWD) - $123,900 - Average: 72
Darren Minchington (FWD) - $188,000 - Average: 72
Zak Jones (DEF) - $147,300 - Average: 65

Get on
Lance Franklin (FWD) -$506,200 - 36
Dion Prestia (MID) - $589,100 - 70
Nathan Fyfe (MID) - $573,400 - 73
Cyril Rioli (FWD) - $440,200 - 84
Buddy Franklin is in great form, averaging 114 from his last five games. Get him before he becomes too expensive. Prestia is a great POD as he’s having a good season. Fyfe is good value at under $600k, as he’s one of the league’s top midfielders. Rioli could be a massive POD for you and is cheap, so if he stays on the park, he should be a good buy.
Watchlist
Colin Sylvia (MID/FWD) - $464,400 - 215
Kade Simpson (DEF) - $490,600 - 179
Mathew Stokes (MID) - $526,300 - 163
Robbie Gray (MID/FWD) - $566,700 - 151
