TOYOTA AFL Fantasy coaches all agree on one thing; Braydon Preuss (RUC, $411,000) is the must-have player to trade in this week.
The question for many is whether you cull one of your starting rucks or put him on bench for the ultimate bench option.
Playing him at R2 will help fix another position on your field, such as the last on-field defender. Roy and Calvin are both looking at moves to get Paddy McCartin off their ground, while Warnie is playing a conservative game by getting Preuss on the bench and backing in Max Gawn and Brodie Grundy to fire.
