Game Day 2025 Fantasy Round 1 Discussion

[matty lloyd the champ]

Unfortunately for me it's either trade in a red dot or hope Archer Reid can score 133 on debut

I'd take a red dot over Archer Reid.

At best, Reid might make 100k. Playing kpf as a rookie for the Eagles is fantasy aids.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Happy enough with that.

VC on TDK but won’t be looking to take that. Can’t be trading in red dots to start the year.

I reckon i will be... Welcome to the squad Captain Max....................................................Heath!

 

[Nunez]

More like a VC.

Clutch Nunez. Clutch.

 

[DenieD]

Trainor D6
Campo M8
Lalor M9 (glad I pivoted to him after Levi Ashcroft sub thing)
Cerra M6 I'll take it, even though he had a poor second half
Walsh M1 Not great but not a disaster...

Not starting TDK That one hurts

But hey you can't win them all. Bring on the rest of the weekend.

Forgot about Hollands... meh, might shift him to a underpriced premo next week to get a better scorer for the best 18 weeks.

 

[MaxiBont]

Do I take the E on Trainor for Sam Taylor or the E on Campo for O’Sullivan?

Ive had to go a dot for TDK VC score. Needs to be a forward due to my emergencies so think I'll go Ty Gallop.

Any other 230k red dot forward worth considering?

 

[DenieD]

Do I take the E on Trainor for Sam Taylor or the E on Campo for O’Sullivan?

None. Unless if they went 90+ you shouldn't be putting red dots on your field in round 1. Just be happy with the cash gen.

 

[Lukebatty97]

Cerra only one CBA in the last despite probably being there best mid on today

Voss turning into a bevo, hopefully he's back mid next week.

Short ️
Cerra ️ (24 above price)
TDK (VC makes it interesting)
Trainor E ️
Camporeale E ️

Can't complain so far

 

[Exambolor]

4/395
PODdy Cripps with the ton despite a tag
TDK beasting
Short solid
Campo nice debut
Trainor on the bench but will take the cash gen (got Prior D6 tommorow but maybe will loop but not sure)

Nice start compared to last year for me where I had Gibcus do his knee and cop a single digit score

Hollands was a bit of a let down but still got 70+ and over his BE which is the main thing. As far as bad scores go, I'll take that from a speculative M6.

Pretty much how I'm looking at it as well. I'm resisting the urge to add more red dots to take Trainor and Camporeale's scores though.

Are Taylor/FOS your best options?

I don't reckon a taking a red dot from a forward is worth it. It would mean you are missing out on one of Kako, Davidson or Stone.

2/340

TDK (VC)
Campo (E) Looped

 

[MaxiBont]

Are Taylor/FOS your best options?

They are my D6/M8 atm

 

[kozi]

3 rooks going 76, 68, 62 is a solid start

Not starting TDK would have been a big stuff up

 

[MaxiBont]

None. Unless if they went 90+ you shouldn't be putting red dots on your field in round 1. Just be happy with the cash gen.

I’m relatively new to fantasy, is there a reason for that outside not knowing how high the other players will score? I have Bo Allan who I think will be worth keeping as a red dot atm.

Cash gen is everything early on. You want all your players (particularly rookies) playing so they go up in cash. Shouldn't have any red dots in round 1 if you can help it. But if you are really hot on a player like Bo Allen then you can do it, but I personally don't think it's worth it.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Pretty much how I'm looking at it as well. I'm resisting the urge to add more red dots to take Trainor and Camporeale's scores though.

I'm tempted to use Bo Allan to take Campo's Emg score and TDK's VC and just keep Archer Reid, who I reckon will play quite a few games (very slow burn though)

Also means I can swing him back next week and turn Taylor into a mid if I go through with the Taylor play

 

[Corkintheocean]

4/376

Decent considering it includes Trainor at D6. Glad I went cheap at the back although Short as my D1 is concerning.

 

[Barrybran]

They are my D6/M8 atm

Who are your M6/7?

 

[samFFC]

Going to go Gawn over TDK.
Hoping that TDK is just a neutral option - priced 85-90, so if he shares some ruck duties and maxes out at 100, he won't be that damaging scoring or cash wise.

Downgrading Sanders to Garcia to fund it, which should be a similar scoring output (and more cash gained from Garcia).

Thought I was a genius at half time!

[WaynesWorld19]

Well, now I have to pray, Boyd is a non-starter for my boy TDK (VC).....it's going to be a long 24 hours

 

[Coasters7]

Short drifts in and out of the game way too much which was why I was worried about starting him. Based on today he’s pretty much only going to ton up when Richmond are completely uncompetitive and there are bulk kick ins (which could be a fair bit to be fair), but he doesn’t really get involved enough in the playmaking like a NWM/Clark type would.
