✕ AVOID

El Achkar was omitted in Round 3 and has now failed to back up his one-game sample, making that 40-point average essentially meaningless. At $113.5k with a 17 BE he looks enticing on paper, but with no job security and zero cash generation this week, he's a trap. Avoid until he earns a consistent senior role at Essendon.
