Fantasy Insider, known for its top-notch DFS tools and projections dating back to 2015, employs cutting-edge machine learning models akin to Stats Insider, producing some of the most robust DFS projections globally.

Armed with the latest AFL fantasy insights and DFS strategies from Fantasy Insider, participants are primed to excel in various AFL fantasy contests.
According to Fantasy Insider’s DFS model, the “stud” player is the highest projected scorer, while “value” picks offer the best performance relative to their salary. Conversely, a “fade” player is deemed to offer lower value for money, and “cheapie” options highlight value picks at lower price points.

Understanding a player’s value in fantasy sports is pivotal, where players who outperform their cost are instrumental in constructing an optimal line-up. The “Pts/$1K” metric aids in identifying players who could exceed their cost by predicting points per $1,000 of a player’s salary.
The positional breakdown for defenders features players like John Noble and Jedd Busslinger, while midfielders include standouts like Marcus Bontempelli and Ben Jepson. Forwards like Sam Darcy and Jed Walter are highlighted, along with ruckmen like Tim English and Max Knobel.
When forming your AFL Round 9 teams, starting with value players such as Jedd Busslinger can be advantageous. Opting for high scorers like Tim English is a solid strategy, while budget-friendly choices like Ben Jepson can help balance your line-up.
However, players like Jason Johannisen, identified as a low-value option, might be best limited in multiple line-ups. The Draftstars’ AFL Suns vs. Bulldogs slate closes at 7:35 pm AEST on Saturday, so act promptly.
