MANAGED last week, now listed as 'three weeks' on the sidelines, what do we do with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (DEF/MID, $1,023,000)?

This has been the biggest question facing AFL Fantasy coaches this week after the star Euro-Yroke midfielder was ruled out until round 13.

Let's be clear, holding Wanganeen-Milera is not an option and a trade must be made. For those coaches who have been sitting back watching Archie Roberts (DEF, $1,129,000) average 132 in his past six weeks, now is your opportunity to end the pain and secure his services, with the greatest role in AFL Fantasy history.

If you already have Roberts and/or looking for players of more value, then consider under-priced options such as Dayne Zorko (DEF, $963,000), Bailey Dale (DEF, $901,000) and Nic Newman (DEF, $847,000) who are all popular players that coaches are considering this week.

Maybe, just maybe, you don't even have Wanganeen-Milera and with a tiny smirk on your face, you're looking to make other upgrades in other positions.

Whatever your moves might be – good luck for the round ahead.

Trap or treat?

Here are some of the traps to avoid and some treats worth considering for the round ahead.

Tom McCarthy (DEF/MID, $839,000) - TREAT
If you are after a unique defender then McCarthy is your man. He sits in just 10 per cent teams and has a great run starting this week. After back-to-back scores of 98, he'll be averaging 105-plus over the coming weeks.

Hugh McCluggage (MID, $822,000) – TRAP
The price is right but are you buying McCluggage in a week he gets tagged? Geelong has Oisin Mullin and Mark O'Connor at its disposal, and they have used these weapons against McCluggage in the past. You've been warned.

Connor Budarick (DEF/FWD, $728,000) - TRAP
The fifth-most traded-in player for the week seems a little 'roy-actionary' for my liking. Even though he is coming off an impressive 114, Budarick might only average around 70 for the remainder of the year. 

Sam Durham (MID/FWD, $701,000) – TREAT
Durham is one of the best buys in the forward line and plenty of coaches are now shifting their trades in that direction. After a team-high 25 CBAs last week and a score of 106, he's a dead set bargain.

Sullivan Robey (MID/FWD, $426,000) - TREAT
If you can afford the price tag, then Robey is the rookie to grab this week. His job security is strong and last week Robey was great attending 13 centre ball-ups for his score of 79 from 20 disposals.

Most traded in

• Marcus Bontempelli (MID, $996,000)
• Lachie Whitfield (DEF, $1,046,000)
• Paddy Cross (FWD, $274,000)
• Archie Roberts (DEF, $1,129,000)
• Connor Budarick (DEF/FWD, $728,000)

Buying Marcus Bontempelli (MID, $996,000) for under a million dollars is one of the best buys you'll ever see. Even though he has been playing injured and sore for the last three weeks, he has still averaged 121 during this time proving that he is clearly the best player in the competition.

During the round 13 bye, GWS and Richmond will both have the week off. Having players during this bye will make your life easier for the other rounds. This means, players like Lachie Whitfield (DEF, $1,046,000) are now worth their weight in gold. Whitfield has averaged 114 in his past six games and features in Calvin's Captains top five when they drop tonight when The Traders go live at 6:15pm AEST.

Most traded out

• Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera (DEF/MID, $1,023,000)
• Jacob Farrow (DEF/MID, $606,000)
• Josh Rachele (FWD/MID, $766,000)
• Tanner Bruhn (MID, $843,000)
• Jai Serong (DEF/MID, $642,000)

Two mid-priced players feature on the list this week as coaches are using players like Josh Rachele (FWD/MID, $766,000) and Tanner Bruhn (MID, $843,000) as stepping stones to bigger and better things.

Rachele has only averaged 64 over the past three weeks as his time in the midfield has dried up. Bruhn had a role change last week and his score of 63 reflected the change. He was coming off three triple scores in his last four games leading into last week, so fingers crossed his role returns to normal.

Draft: One-week wonders

A strategy in draft is to find one-week streaming options. This means, finding a player who has low ownership (most likely in the free agents) and an option for a one-week play. You may require a player like this to fill any holes in your team while you wait for an injured player to return or for one of your players to gain dual-position status.

Here are some players with low ownership that might be worth a punt on for this week.

Mac Andrew (DEF) v Yartapuulti – After averaging 97 in his past three games, you might be lucky and still find Andrew on the wavier. Twenty per cent of switched-on draft leagues have already grabbed him.

Noah Balta (DEF/FWD) v Euro-Yroke – Sitting in just eight per cent of leagues is Balta who has thrived in his new role as one of Richmond's main ruckmen. With previous scores of 78 and 119, he's worth a punt.

Max Hall (FWD) v Richmond – Hall has averaged 87 in his past three games, ranking him inside the top 25 options in the forward line. He has Richmond this week and his hot form will only continue.
