What is Elijah Tsatas's SuperCoach breakeven?

Elijah Tsatas's breakeven is 40. The current average of 82 sits 42 points above breakeven, so the price is rising.

Should I trade Elijah Tsatas in SuperCoach 2026?

The answer depends on your team — your cash, your byes, and what the upgrade target looks like. The dedicated Should I Trade Elijah Tsatas breakdown weighs form, breakeven, and a comparable replacement side-by-side.

Why was Tsatas dropped the week Parish was managed at Essendon?

Unjustified omission — coaching blunder. Tsatas was outperforming Caldwell and Gresham and omitting a developing mid the very week Parish is managed sends a destructive message. Commenters called it one of Brad Scott's worst decisions and predicted a trade request from the player.

Is Elijah Tsatas safe in the Essendon team and worth holding in SC?

Safe — hold with confidence. Tsatas holds a locked mid-bench spot in the ESS midfield rotation alongside Merrett, McGrath, Caldwell, Parish and Durham. Back-to-back career-high disposal games (29 and 25) from a 21-year-old trending up; coaches want this trajectory. He and Parish are the only Bombers generating clearances — dropping him would be inexplicable.

Is Tsatas worth trading in as a cash generator at midfielder?

Skip — trap, not worth a trade. At $220k Tsatas does not generate enough cash on a downgrade to justify the trade cost, and he is not a top-10 mid. His history of being dropped last year under Scott makes role security too uncertain; a 40-score locks coaches in with a mid-pricer who cannot be fielded.

Tsatas scored 61 at the MCG in Essendon's 77-point hammering by Collingwood — context matters here, this was a blowout and he was reportedly playing only 60% TOG. The critical alert: community confirms he's named OUT for R8. Two strong rounds (82, 101) followed by a vest and omission is a classic bust pattern. At $272.3k the cash gen trajectory looked elite but you cannot hold a player named out. Sell or trade now before the price bleeds.
