Irrespective of whether you prefer Supercoach or Fantasy, the aim of the game has always been to post the highest score.
Naturally, your chances improve when your team is loaded with superstars.
However, much the same as the main game, salary caps stymie any chance of selecting a potential All-Australian outfit from the outset.
In a game that rewards wheeling, dealing and picking players before they are appealing, selecting the right cash cows at the start of the season has the potential to send your scores soaring and keep your bank balance in the green.
Like the stock market, buying low and selling high is the key.
There are no rookies on this list, as we will be profiling the cream of the draft crop at a later date.
With this in mind, here is our list of the ten best players to milk and flip in 2021.
7. Jaidyn Stephenson
Supercoach Price - $354,100
Fantasy Price - $470,000
After a trio of seasons with the Pies that proved both Jekyll and Hyde, Jaidyn Stephenson has found refuge off Broadway at Arden Street.
Despite an incredible rookie year in 2018, Stephenson has since failed to regain said form and produced a 12-game season in 2020 that saw a season high of 101 Fantasy points and a low of 27.
The new North recruit averaged 65.9 Supercoach points last year โ down more than 24% from the year prior.
Now it sounds as though we are putting the boot into the youngster, but sadly, the numbers do not lie. However, we have seen him reach lofty heights in the past and perhaps the change of scenery and opportunities afforded him can help recover these previous pinnacles.
With an ownership percentage of just 6 in Fantasy and reports that the 22-year-old has been training with the midfield group, Stephenson offers a point of difference with the possibility of a swift yield for our team.
