T.MITCHELL vs PARKER (both DPP)

[Derryn23]

This one is a doosie... Can't split them at all!
Both FWD/MID, Parker will get more MID time this season as he has previously been the replacement for Jude Bolton. Not sure how many minutes Mitchell will play with Rohan and now McGylnn expected to get more time in the midfield. Everyone I speak to tells me Mitchell will be a star. Will it be in 2014?

T.Mitchell $464k
Parker   $468k

Parker for sure.
Mitchell's drop off at the end of last year was due to a move into a fwd role and then his injury. There's no guarantee that this fwd role won't continue. No doubt he's going to be a fantasy beast but I'd definitely stay away.

Parker is primed for another little breakout year but at that price it's no big deal if you don't start him. Do be a viable starter he would need to lift his average from 87 to 100 to a) be a top 5ish mid and b) make you 80k+. Personally I wouldn't start with him until he lifts to that average as he wouldn't cost you that much more to bring him in (unless you can see him going 105-110+).

I'd rather someone like Caddy who is already 100k underpriced due to his vests this year and should also naturally improve.
