Thursday night's team selections and making the right trades this week are vital as we are all vying for the ultimate prize of 12 months of bragging rights over our mates.
Fantasy footy’s Holy Grail is on the line so make sure you read Roy’s Trade Talk prior to pulling the trigger.
For teams that have finished in the top four, you are rewarded with a double-chance, whereas the positions five to eight find themselves in a must win knockout situation.
For those unlucky teams who have finished outside the eight, all is not lost, you still need to strive for a respectable national ranking, or even a weekly win!
In light of Sam Mitchell’s late withdrawal in round 19, there has been a lot of discussion this week about the value of buying a solid bench player, over maximising projected output on the ground.
Late withdrawals will become more frequent over the next four weeks, but depending on individual matchups, there is a valid argument for both strategies.
Captaincy selection will be as important as ever this week. Obviously, the teams that are considered favourites should play it safe with the likes of Tom Rockliff carrying the C. But if you are the underdog, Calvin’s Captains is a vital read as a COD (captain of difference) could be the edge you need to cause an upset.
This round we have two Match Day games with $250 and an AFL Live Pass up for grabs in each game.
Friday night we have the Tigers taking on the Bombers where high profile Fantasy names like Dustin Martin and Brent Stanton will be prominent, especially given Stanton’s recent impressive history against the Tigers.
On Saturday the Cats take on the Dockers and the big question is, who does Ryan Crowley go to? In recent matchups, Crowley has had great success against both Steve Johnson and Joel Selwood so you do not want the C on his direct opponent.Join The Traders from 6pm (AEST) to chat live as the round 20 teams are announced.
