IT'S the last week before default Fantasy finals and AFL Fantasy Classic teams are getting close to 'complete'. That is, full of players who can score a ton on their given day.
The aim of the game is to score the most points possible, right? Calvin thinks he's cracked the code with his Scale of Hardness. He's continued to crunch the numbers to predict which teams have easier match-ups based on positional scoring for the rest of the year.

Carlton is one of his favourites. The bargain play of George Hewett (MID, $464,000) looks to be a winner as the Blues have three out of the next four games against 'green' teams (the easiest to score against). He's also liking the look of bringing Josh Dunkley (MID/FWD, $960,000) back into his team as the Lions' run looks sweet.
A lot of Fantasy Classic coaches agree with Calvin as Dunkley is the second most traded in player already this week.
The Traders chat through their trades and take a look at what other coaches are doing with five rounds to go.
