Point of difference (POD) players in SuperCoach can be what separates the great coaches from the god, with the perfect POD often aiding trades and cash generation to give coaches the perfect start to the season.
With pre-season matches right around the corner, discovering the perfect POD will be on the mind of many coaches as they look to separate themselves from the pack.
Here we assess and name 10 players that currently have an ownership percentage of less than 10%.
Forwards
Jack Ziebell ($356,400) -ย 4%
Almost every coach had the Roos veteran in their side in 2021 thanks to his role as their kick-ins specialist, gaining easy disposals on the last line for North Melbourne.
2022 was a different story for Ziebell, seeing his season average of 107.6 from the year prior drop to just 64.7 after his return to the forward line.
Now poised to be flicked back into the defensive third, Ziebell could near the triple-figure mark for his 2023 average and will have strong cash generation if so.
Nic Martin ($436,000) - 2%
Among an array of MID/FWD options for coaches to consider in their forward line, Martin will save coaches $70,000-$90,000 if taken over the likes of Butters, Rozee or Taranto for coaches needing to save some cash.
The young Bomber is by all reports looking sharp and spending a majority of his time in the middle of the field, hoping to break into the ideal starting onballer rotation alongside Darcy Parish and Zach Merrett.
In 2% of sides, Martin could be the perfect POD pickup, but more knowledge of his role will be needed before bringing him in. One to watch in the weeks ahead.
Toby Greene ($421,000) -ย 3%
If gaining the Giants' captaincy means Greene will have a cooler head this year, then the polarising forward is a near-must.
With suspensions, and at times injury, the biggest concerns for selecting Greene in recent seasons, a campaign in the clear might have him placed among the top six forwards by season's end.
At just $421,00 and in just 3% of teams, Greene is a tantalising option that has a - relatively - easy fixture in 2023.
