WITH THE highest averaging NAB AFL Fantasy player, Jordan Lewis, returning from suspension on Saturday night, there are three types of coaches this week.
The 20,000 coaches that held Lewis through his two weeks on the sidelines are walking around with a smug look on their face.
They are able to bring back the man who is averaging 134.8 off their bench and most are keen to hand him the captaincy.
Next there are the coaches who are moving heaven and earth this week to trade the 29-year-old back in. This is because the Hawk play the Swans who Lewis scored 139 on in last year’s Grand Final, then the Fantasy-point-leaking Suns and Saints in the next two weeks.
At $695,000 it's a long way from a sideways trade, it’s more an upgrade of a premium. Our man Calvin is happy to say goodbye to a sub-premium player to make this happen so he has a walk-up captain. Plenty of others have stockpiled some cash and are looking to offload a fattened cash-cow or two in order make the deal go down.
Finally, Warnie and a few strategic coaches are going to wait it out over the next month as the Hawks have the first bye (round 11).
While they may miss out on a few points and the possibility of further price rises, the $200K difference between Lewis and the cheap-as-chips Tom Rockliff allows them to upgrade other positions in their team.
At the very least, most Fantasy coaches will be looking to include Lewis in their Match Day team on Saturday night for the chance to win $10,000.
