I am interested after his bye in round 12 for sure, round 13 matchup v North is very appealing.
498K, BE of 107 this week so looms as potential bargain premium defender pick.
Keen to watch him this week, has been rusty as expected since his return from that serious injury but fitness & touch slowly building.

Surely you are not at full premium already and have the luxury of trading out the 10th highest defender on aggregate ?
I must be months behind the majority if that's the case (still have 5 onfield rookies 😢)
Wouldn't you want Whitfield to comfortably outscore Short by 10-20 ppg for the rest of the season to justify that trade ?
Short averaging 96 , fantastic team if he is a problem.

Coaches going Short to Whitfield...must have a lot of trades in hand. Seems a luxury trade and lucky to break even for the cost of the trade. At a 10ppg differential (105 v 95) that's only a 110 point gain. And that's assuming that Whitfield plays every game...meanwhile Short has been healthy the whole year.
If Houli breaks down somewhere along the line then it's possible that Short ends up outscoring Whitfield in the backend of the season.

I had Ratagulea in my DFS lineup on the weekend as he looked value and they named him as the starting ruck. Blicavs then seemed to take most of the around-the-ground ruck duties after the centre bounces....
Not really sure if that's the setup they will have going forward though, as it was against the Suns bad rucking division.

Correct, and that’s where it comes down to individual teams and where they sit premium structure wise and upgrades needed.
For mine, I have 4 DEF rookies who I expect to all play this round and still have money to make, and Laird in the MIDs. The midfield premium is a better option for me this week, with my target similarly to Whitfield that they are fairly/underpriced and have an achievable BE, and also a better matchup/run of games this week and next.
Round 13 for me is the logical Whitfield trade in as I’ll be comfortably able to trade out a fully run rookie who is on their bye.

Personally it's more that Whitfield is the only Round 12 bye player remaining that I have an interest in and don't already own, so I'm saving him for Round 13 when I will be looking for a Round 12 upgrade.
If you don't already own guys like Stewart, Hall etc. though then I see no harm grabbing Whitfield this week.
