Six teams will have the week off in each of the following three rounds. A host of stars will be missing from Adelaide, Collingwood, Geelong, Gold Coast, North Melbourne and Richmond but to help manage the carnage, only the best 18 players this week will contribute to your score in Fantasy Classic.
Roy's Trade Talk: round eight
Please note that these players must come from your on-field 22. Emergencies will count if required as usual.
The bye rounds bring some challenges, but for a bit of fun on the side and a chance to win $250 and an AFL Live Pass, get involved in Fantasy Match Day.
Friday night's Sydney Swans v Hawthorn match will be a challenge to nail the best side with so many great Fantasy players taking part. Picking the best two of star defenders such as Jarrad McVeigh, Grant Birchall, Luke Hodge and Matt Suckling could be the difference. Get your team in before the 7:50pm AEST lockout.
Picking a winning combination in the Melbourne v Western Bulldogs match on Saturday night will also be no mean feat. Tom Liberatore should be one of your midfielders. He has scored 148 and 144 in his only two matches against Melbourne. Finalise your team before the 7:40pm AEST lockout.
