The first of the dreaded bye rounds are here, meaning SuperCoach owners will be looking to field 18 players this week to compensate for six AFL teams missing the round.
Owners will hope their boost options have come in handy so they can be put to use to try and field as many players as possible.
Remember owners, the more players playing the better, so hold on to players who will be playing this week!
With that being said, it's time to look ahead to next week and see who to buy, hold and sell as Round 12 nears.

HOLD
Isaac Heeney ($462,800) (FWD/MID)
The Swans forward enjoyed a blistering start to 2022, averaging 122.4 SuperCoach points in the first five rounds of the season and was arguably the most in form player in the competition at the time.
Since then, Heeney has only gone over 100 once in six games and his average is down to 100.9 points per game.
Heeney's form slump would be frustrating for owners, but seeing as Sydney don't have the bye this week, and Heeney is more than capable of turning it around quickly, hold onto him for now for an extra premium playing this week.
More of a watch this space as he is set to drop a bit in value after next game.
Sam De Koning ($348,500) (DEF/FWD)
The young gun from Geelong has been performing really well as of late, and even earned himself a Rising Star nomination for his latest efforts against the Adelaide Crows on the weekend.
De Koning is at a point where he is not going to increase that much in value, but he is still a reliable defence option for owners.

Close to 2,000 owners have already traded out the key defender and other owners may be tempted to upgrade De Koning to a premium but for now, with a breakeven of 46, a projected price rise of $14.4k and a game this week, hold onto De Koning until next week when they have the bye.
Braydon Preuss ($457,100) (RUC)
The big Giants ruckman has been a great purchase for many owners and has had crazy cash production with over $250k added onto his name this season.
Unfortunately, Preuss was struck down with illness before their round 10 clash with Carlton and didn't make it up against Brisbane, causing almost 7,000 owners to trade out the ruckman.

Preuss is definitely still worth holding as he has the bye this week giving him an extra week to rest up, and given he hasn't dropped below 100 in the six games that he has played, he is a consistently high scoring ruckman that shouldn't be traded out so easily.
Instead, those owners that have both Preuss and Sam Hayes should part ways with Hayes instead, as Hayes is the more tradeable ruckman and an upgrade to Tim English would be move favourable with Hayes than Preuss in my opinion.
