It's the time of year when your team is really taking shape, and you may make minimal trades before the byes begin. But still, we have put together a list of potential players, if you are looking to bring in some new names this week.

Jack Sinclair (STK|FWD|$298,600)

Sinclair played well last weekend, racking up 99 points. He has still only played two games and could make you some quick cash before the bye. This week the Saints play Carlton, so it is a chance for a big game for Sinclair.

Trent Cotchin (RICH|MID|$545,000)

With much of the opposition's attention being focused on Dustin Martin, Cotchin has the ability to rack up big numbers. If you are looking to make a midfield upgrade, he is a good option. He currently averages 110.7 points and that could easily increase.

Mark LeCras (WC|FWD|$364,700)

LeCras hasn't had an outstanding SuperCoach season, but still averages around 70 points. His price has dropped, so he is affordable. He also scores well against the Bulldogs, who the Eagles will play on Friday night.

Lance Franklin (SYD|FWD|$467,700)

The big forward kicked a bag last weekend and managed to rack up 160 points. He also has a good record against North Melbourne, who they play this week. Franklin is under $500,000 and averages close to 100 points. He and his side look to have hit some form and could be a great inclusion.

Connor Blakely (FRE|MID|$382,700)

If you are looking to take a risk on someone who could make the jump to an elite level scorer, Blakely is your guy. He has played every round so far and in his last two games he has scored over 100. His fourth quarter in Fremantle's game against Essendon illustrated just how good he can be.
