DOMINATING the thoughts of NAB AFL Fantasy coaches this week is what to do with a couple of Hawks.
Jordan Lewis [MID, $695,000] will miss the next two matches and Luke Hodge [DEF/MID, $600,000] the next three through suspension.
Do we hold or trade?
Hodge is probably a must trade and with the new dual position players (DPP) announced earlier this week we have some solid premium options. Switching him to the new No.1 defender in David Mundy [DEF/MID, $602,000] or saving a few dollars and going to veteran Matthew Boyd [DEF, $560,000] is the obvious thing to do.
What we do with Lewis is an interesting conundrum. Holding him for two weeks and playing a bench option like Aaron vandenBerg or Cam Ellis-Yolmen would suffice for the two weeks due to their current Fantasy form. However, being the most expensive player in the competition, you can get whoever you like in this week and have some spare change to help improve your team elsewhere.
The worry is when (and how) you get Lewis back into your squad once his suspension has been served.
The Traders will be online from 6.15pm AEDT to help you decide what to do with the Hawks and answer your burning questions, including how to make the most of the new DPPs and Calvin’s best captaincy tip.
