The headline for Martin Gleeson last season was that he got back to the senior side at all after a nasty ankle bone break in 2017, suiting up for the last nine games and specialising in intercept possessions. His fantasy average has always hovered near the back baseline without ever consistently rising above it. Gleeson played his role for the team which is mainly measured in exotic stats that don't directly affect his scoring in basic fantasy formats, or at least not in numbers large enough to make him startable. There does not appear to be upside left in his game in season six, so he is probably going to be be left in the free agent pool after your draft.

Hard lesson for Gleeson
A broken foot and dislocated ankle sustained in preseason put paid to any thought of Martin Gleeson playing seniors last year. His history across four years prior to that was of a tween-sized backman whose fantasy output hovered around the back baseline with a lot of variability. Gleeson will attract some interest in salary cap competitions due to the discount in his price from the year off. In draft leagues, his value was already at replacement-level so he will be undraftable in this format, particularly given the competition for his spot.
Break lease on Gleeson
Eventually maintaining his senior spot either side of the 2016 drug suspension era, Martin Gleeson did have two excursions to the VFL early last season. His fantasy scores only rarely ventured far past the baseline for backs, with his productive games predicated on uncontested marks. Gleeson's numbers across the board scream replacement level, and the arrival of Adam Saad and development of Conor McKenna means he might be replaced at some point. The saving grace for him might be Andrew McGrath moving to midfield. Either way, he has no upside worth drafting.
