Set and forget. It's seems the obvious and easiest choice when starting your SuperCoach or Fantasy sides each season - opting for the pairing of Demons captain Max Gawn and Magpies star Brodie Grundy as your one-two punch.
Head and shoulders above the rest of the ruck crop, Gawn and Grundy are sure to do damage when you come up against them, but their starting price is sure do just as much pain to your starting budget.
Starting at a SuperCoach/AFL Fantasy starting price of $751,400/$944,000, Max Gawn will leave a large hole in your pocket early, but his 2020 averages of 139.9/98.9 prove his worth to your side.
Grundy sits at $648,200/$867,000 to start the year and looms as the more popular option across both fantasy codes. understood to have shaken off any injury complaint ahead of the new year, we could see the Collingwood big man return to his very best.
With only two starting ruck spots up for grabs, we name the formidable options outside of the set and forget model.
4. Tim English
SuperCoach:$551,200
Fantasy:$698,000
After cracking the triple-figure average last year in SuperCoach whilst also boasting a respectable 73.1 in Fantasy, English is on the up and looking towards a big improvement this year.
While also pocketing you some extra green, English will be utilised in the Bulldogs' forward 50 should he need a break from hit-outs, with veteran Stefan Martin offering a helping hand this year.
Highlighted by his 204 SuperCoach score against the Bombers last year, English has a massive roof and is only going to improve on his seasons prior.
