Top 10 – Analysis
Dustin Martin continues his rise back up the Forward Weekly Rankings to number 3. Martin performed below his usual self in the 3 matches immediately after returning from his rib injury, where he averaged 66 adjusted fantasy PPG. However, over the last 3 matches Martin has been back at his best. He has played plenty of time in the midfield and averaged 113 adjusted fantasy PPG.
Jack Steven jumps into the top 10 of the Forward Weekly Rankings following a season-high performance. Steven had 115 adjusted fantasy points last round. He played more time in the midfield and looks like he could replicate his 2018 form of 97 fantasy PPG over the remainder of the season. The one concern with Steven is that he may be managed a couple more times across the rest of 2020, due to the compressed fixture.
Top 25 – Rankings
Opponent match-up is coloured based on opponent’s performance against this position on average per player in 2020. Green opponent match-up means favourable (at least 8 points easier than average per player). Red opponent match-up means difficult (at least 8 points harder than average per player).
Players with bye ranked based on receiving 2020 average score this week.
11 to 25 – Analysis
Kane Lambert looks to have returned to his early season form after playing well during the middle of the season. Lambert only averaged 62 adjusted fantasy PPG in the first 4 games of 2020 before back to back 125+ adjusted fantasy point games in rounds 5 and 6. However, over the past 4 games his form has come back down. He has averaged 74 adjusted fantasy PPG over the past 4 games, including only 61 adjusted fantasy points last week.
Aaron Hall and Bailey Smith are the two most in-form players in this section of the Weekly Rankings. Both have averaged 92 adjusted fantasy PPG over the past 5 games.
26 to 50 – Analysis
Jack Sinclair and Shai Bolton are in excellent recent form and could be good Free Agent additions in your Draft League. Sinclair has been remarkably consistent since coming into the Saints team over the past 3 matches. He has averaged 80 adjusted fantasy PPG, with a low score of 75 adjusted fantasy points in that time. Bolton has averaged 88 adjusted fantasy points over the past 3 games. He may lose his midfield minutes when more seasoned Tigers return to the line-up but is a great short-term option for the coming couple of games.

51 to 80 – Analysis
Zac Butters is a potential Free Agent addition in deeper Draft Leagues. Butters had 121 adjusted fantasy points last round. He does carry some risk of inconsistency. In his worst 4 matches of 2020 he has averaged 46 adjusted fantasy PPG. However, in his 3 best matches of 2020 he has averaged 123 adjusted fantasy PPG.
