Round 15 of the 2026 AFL Premiership Season continues this Sunday with another massive daily fantasy contest on offer from Draftstars with over $50,000 in guaranteed prize money in their main daily fantasy tournament.
Sunday delivers two games with distinct daily fantasy narratives. At the MCG, Richmond host North Melbourne in a game carrying real finals implications for North who are pushing hard for a top-ten spot after a close win on the road last week. The Kangaroos arrive as 23-point favourites and have shown they can compete when their midfield rotation fires through Tristan Xerri and Luke Davies-Uniacke, who have been two of the most productive players in the competition across the last four weeks. The second game, at Marvel Stadium, is the more tightly-rated contest, with St Kilda hosting a Western Bulldogs side that has won three of their last five. The Saints arrive with Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera back in the side and playing great football again — averaging 106.3 over his last three — while the Bulldogs are looking to solidify their position on the ladder and get into the top 6 with a win here.
Draftstars are offering a number of different contests to suit your style, some of these include:

AFL Daily Fantasy Lineup Tips: Round 15 Sunday
AFL Fantasy Round 15 Sunday: Where to Attack?
The matchup data across both games points in a clear direction and the two primary angles complement each other perfectly for lineup building.
At the MCG, the Richmond vs North Melbourne matchup is dominated by one extraordinary number: Richmond have been giving up over 12 points above league average to inside midfielders — the highest inside midfield concession in the entire competition. That is an extraordinary figure and it makes the North Melbourne midfield the single most compelling attacking stack on this entire slate. Xerri also benefits given Richmond are giving up above average to the ruck (+3.02, 75%). Even better we can stack the forwards along with the mids as the Tigers are also giving up the most points in the league to key forwards at over 8 points per game above league average. All no real surprise when you are the team sitting second bottom of the ladder with just two wins all season.
Heading back the other way, North Melbourne have been quite restricvtive from a fantasy point of view. Only giving up above average points to key forwards and being quite tight on opposition rucks and defenders. I would not be eager to roster the Tigers in this matchup.
At Marvel Stadium, the St Kilda vs Western Bulldogs matchup favours the Bulldogs’ midfield and defenders. St Kilda have been giving up +1.93 points above average to inside midfielders, which combined with the Bulldogs’ deep and experienced midfield makes Bontempelli, Liberatore and Richards the go-to stack from that game. The more interesting angle, however, is through the designated kicker position — St Kilda are conceding +5.45 points above average to designated kickers, a trend that has continued for multiple seasons under Ross Lyon.
Game Script – North Melbourne midfielders and forwards, Western Bulldogs backs
AFL Fantasy Round 15 Sunday – Our Value Fantasy Picks
Nick Larkey ($8,580) is the value forward play of the slate and the matchup data makes a compelling case at his price point. Richmond have been giving up over 8 points above league average to key forwards over the last 10 games — the highest key forward concession in the competition — and Larkey steps directly into that matchup as North Melbourne's primary marking target and goal threat. Priced in the $8k range he brings an 90-100 point upside that can help you win a tournament when the matchup if favourable like on this slate.
Cooper Hynes ($7,760) is the value dart of the Marvel Stadium game and his recent form is the case. After a quiet mid-season stretch he has bounced back with scores of 62 and 73 in his last two — a last-two average of 67.5 that makes his $7,760 price look well behind what he is currently producing. St Kilda have been conceding above average to inside midfielders and Hynes' role drift into the midfield in recent weeks positions him to benefit.
AFL Fantasy Round 15 Sunday – Our Mid Price Fantasy Picks
Tyler Sonsie ($9,850) is a standout mid price play on the slate and has been in solid form in recent weeks. He has posted 98, 66 and 80 in his last three for an average of 81.3 points — a number that makes his $9,850 price look significantly undervalued — and his most recent score of 98 is a strong ceiling reference. Playing further up on the wing is a solid role to consider him as a play on this slate.
Finn O'Sullivan ($11,820) is a compelling mid-price value play that most will overlook in favour of the bigger North Melbourne names, and that differential ownership is part of the appeal. His last three scores of 115, 55 and 74 average 81.3 — that 115 is the standout ceiling reference and confirms exactly what he can produce when given midfield licence. Richmond are giving up big scores to midfielders. Playing that role as inside mid and tagger this year he has really broken out from a fantasy perspectrive.
AFL Fantasy Round 15 Sunday – Our Premium Fantasy Picks
Luke Davies-Uniacke ($14,720) is the great premium mid to start you midfield stacks on of the slate as we noted above the matchup case is as clear as it gets. He has posted 84, 67, 126, 68 and 116 in his last five for a last-three average of 92.3, but his ceiling score of 162 — his career best which came against Richmond — confirms exactly what he is capable of when the matchup allows him to run. Richmond are giving up over 12 points above league average to inside midfielders, the highest concession to any position in the competition, and Davies-Uniacke is the player who has benefited most from that type of environment. His last three scores against Richmond of 92, 162 and 98 — all above 92 and a ceiling of 162 against this exact opponent — make this the clearest individual matchup play on the entire Sunday slate.
If you can find the salary stack him up with running mate Harry Sheezel ($17,350). Similar to Davies-Uniacke he is one of the clearest individual plays of the entire 2026 season to this point. He has posted 129, 90, 121, 93 and 127 in his last five for a last-three average of 113.3 — a dominant run that sits among the highest averages of any player in the competition right now. His opponent scores against Richmond are extraordinary — 136, 186 and 102 across his last three meetings, with that 186 a career-defining performance and among the highest scores ever recorded on the Draftstars platform.
Bailey Dale ($15,380) is one of the most compelling half-back plays on the slate and the opponent history is simply remarkable. His last three scores against St Kilda read 127, 112 and 160 — three consecutive scores all above 110, averaging 133 in this exact matchup, with that 160 one of the highest scores ever posted by a defender in the competition. St Kilda have been conceding 5.45 points above league average to designated kickers and Dale is the Bulldogs' primary kick-in operator and half-back distributor.
