FANTASY coaches have three trades to use ahead of the next lockout and thousands of moves have been made since lockout lifted last week.
The most traded player over the first few days is Fremantle young gun Andrew Brayshaw (MID/FWD, $508,000). The Docker scored 44 points and dropped $8000 in value, despite 45 per cent of Fantasy Classic coaches starting with him as they believed he would be a value forward.
Marsh Series stars Brodie Smith (DEF, $623,000) and Darcy MacPherson (MID/FWD, $632,000) were disappointing in round one. They are the next on the list of the most traded out players.
On the other hand, Jack Viney (MID, $652,000), Jeremy Howe (FWD, $549,000), Brett Bewley (FWD, $398,000) and Bailey Smith (MID/FWD, $537,000) are the most traded-in players. They all performed well above their starting value in their first games of the season.
The Traders share their rage trades and look ahead to whenever round two rolls around with their possible trading strategy.
