IT IS luxury trade season for plenty of AFL Fantasy Classic coaches.
Making upgrades in your team is still the play. That is, turning a rookie or a mid-priced player into a premium is the first port of call, but it is coming to a point of the season that some premium players are being moved on for those with better upcoming match ups.
Calvin's Scale of Hardness crunches the numbers on which teams are easy and hard to face in Fantasy.
Fremantle plays against Richmond this week. Carlton players posted big scores with Nic Newman (143) and Sam Walsh (132) having big days. Could we see Caleb Serong and Luke Ryan post massive scores? Their run continues after the Tigers match-up.
The Giants look to have a favourable fixture while the Suns might be up against it over the last eight rounds of the season for Fantasy points.
Calvin also suggests you shouldn't forget about the taggers. He looks at who might cop attention this round and which players are worth monitoring if they go to your players.
Plenty of questions are answered on the latest episode of The Traders' AFL Fantasy Podcast with Roy offering elite trade advice, Warnie with all the news and the trio offering plenty of fun ahead of round 17.
