The Supercoach season is upon us, and it's time to look into the players that Supercoach owners seem to be overlooking, and why picking some of these players could be the difference between having an average team and a quality one.

Of course there are popular picks across each position that should be locks for your team, including Jake Lloyd down back, midfielders Jack Macrae and Jack Steele, Max Gawn in the ruck, and forwards such as Josh Dunkley and Stephen Coniglio.

Although most owners will have these players who will consistently perform each week, it's the players that have low ownership whilst still scoring strongly who could have an even bigger impact on your team, and more importantly against your opponents.

Check out below to see some of the 'point of difference' players that owners should consider heading into the 2022 season.

Zac Bailey ($459,900) - 8% ownership

Zac Bailey has developed into a very versatile player for the Lions with his ability to go into the midfield and collect disposals but he's even more dangerous inside the forward 50 and kicking goals as a medium-sized forward.

Bailey had a career-best year in 2021, with a career-high 18.3 disposals per game to go along with 31 goals for the season, which equated to 84.5 Supercoach points per game.

At just 22 years of age, the dangerous forward continues to get better and would be one of the lead contenders to have another breakout season, and at $459k, is great value if you're looking to pair someone with Josh Dunkley or Dustin Martin.

Jordan De Goey ($463,500) - 9% ownership

De Goey had a tumultuous summer that he would like to put behind him, and if his 2021 form was anything to go by, then he would be a nice choice to differentiate your forward line from most other owners.

Halfway through 2021, the Collingwood hybrid made the switch from forward to more time in the midfield, and it paid off, with De Goey averaging 110 Supercoach points across his last nine games of the season.

The 25-year old is set to still more midfield minutes in 2022 due to Collingwood's young list and De Goey's 2021 form being too strong to ignore.

If De Goey plays majority in the midfield in 2022, then tag along with the 9% of SuperCoach owners and get him in your team.
