Steven Salopek has been a frustrating fantasy prospect over the last two seasons, teasing his owners by scoring highly as an "unique" pick before succumbing to an injury mid-to-late-season and forcing a trade when they needed him most.
Sal has moved to half-back this season but still started the year well, averaging 102 in Dream Team and 110 in Super Coach over the first six games.
A shoulder injury in round 7 resulted in a minimal score, and grouping that with a traditional low score in his return game against Sydney in round 9 and a recent poor outing against Fremantle has dropped his price to the point where he is a clear bargain.
When on the field, Salopek consistently finds 20 possessions and makes up for his lack of tackles with the ability to find space and take marks.
His superior ball use and healthy kick to handball ratio make him an asset in both DT and SC, though the obvious concern is whether he will last the season.
