The phrase "player your club can least afford to lose" can be interpreted in many different ways. It doesn't mean best player or most influential all the time.

There are multiple factors why a team couldn't afford to lose a certain player, such as depth in their position, how much they influence the game plan or whether they could fill the void more easily than others.

Have a look below at my list of who would be the player for each club that they would least afford to lose.

Gold Coast 

Christian Petracca

After a new move, Petracca has really stamped himself back into the best footballers in the competition, and Gold Coast are quite glad that he stumbled up there.

In his nine games, he is averaging 26 touches with six clearances and over a goal a game, which is extraordinary. In those nine games, the Suns were 7-2, and in the two games they played without him, they lost. This shows his worth on the side and proves to be the player they can't afford to lose.
