Game Day 2025 Fantasy Round 2 Discussion

[Nunez]

Yeah did get stuck on the bench a few times, but that still doesn’t fully explain only 88 minutes. In any case, not enjoying the split ruck role with Blicavs. Scott clearly doesn’t trust him to ruck against the big boys for an entire game. Still, if 72 is his floor it’s not the end of the world.

72 from a D6 - I'll take it!

Didn't help that he dropped marks too.

80 from Knevitt is handy, but was moved off the ball late in the game. Thanks Chris Scott

 

[Thelethal97]

Well... With Stewart, Garcia, Perry, Ollie, Day... I'm at 12/1232 (C)

 

[Barrybran]

11/1259 with bottom 4 taken off, 7 to come tomorrow.

9/884 is much nicer to write than 13/1066

 

[stallon]

1088/10 with Rozee vc locked in
Perryman, Stewart, Garcia and my donut removed.

Not my best week ever, need a big one from Powell tomorrow.

Ashcroft, Lindsay, NOD, Hewett dont let me down (im assuming my premos/mid pricers wont)

 

[AflNerd22]

12/1305 bottom 4 already played, hollands, reid, davidson looped for garcia, and kako who filled in for smith. rozee captain already played

 

[Balsam]

Who to get rid of first out of Sanders, JHF, Day or Short

I don't have Short, but do have the other three. JHF was my only player that has failed to make their BE last week, and so far is the only one this week. Sanders and Day have at least made me some coin both weeks.

The big question is who to trade in? Only Macrae stands out so far, and I already have him. None of the other FWDs with high averages from the first two rounds have been consistent. A good game from Simpkin tomorrow would put hime at the top of the list.

 

[ShadowCat]

Shitty last quarter from SDK, but fantastic to see King Macrae return again - even if it was at our expense.

1300/11 (C)

Sheezel, Xerri, Oliver, Daniel, Roberts, NOD, Lindsay (if he scores over 60), to come. After this carnage round, anything over 1800 would be nice.

 

[Coasters7]

Guns and rooks proving to be the play yet again, aside from a few underpriced guys that have done it before (Macrae, Smith etc)

But all these duds who don’t have a fantasy bone in their body, and were picked on blind hope for a role change or scoring bump never work (Short, Day, Roberts potentially, Ashcroft for me)

1088/10 with Rozee vc locked in
Perryman, Stewart, Garcia and my donut removed.

donut at round 2 ?

 

[Uptipp]

anyone else fearing the lashcroft sub vest?

 

[stallon]

donut at round 2 ?

Hutchinson, Smith, Stone out.
No forwards worthy of trading in - I didnt rate Hall, wanted SDK and Ashcroft more.

Hutchinson could even survive until hes back from injury tbh, with Garcia to move on

 

[FootyNorth]

Didn’t pull the trigger on Powell Pepper this week. Think it’s a good call unless Little Warner tears it up tomorrow.

 

[happy_eagle]

Removing my lowest 3 in Trainor, Prior and Davidson (removing 3 because I expect Elijah Hewett to be bottom 4)

1192/11+C

L.Ashcroft, Lindsay, Oliver, Xerri, Daniel, FOS, Roberts

 

[Balsam]

anyone else fearing the lashcroft sub vest?

As it currently stands, I will drop Reid's 51. Based on projected scores, I will also Drop:

NOD - 53
FOS - 53
E Hewwit - 58

Lashcroft has a projected 66, so at worst a vest will cost me 8 points and as his BE is -2, he will still make me some coin.

Basically, no, I'm not that worried, although I would prefer to see him post an 80

Cerra been good at least as well. The lack of good forward rookies makes it hard, same with defence really.

 

[Balsam]

Powell-Pepper?

A total thug that is a short price to get suspended at some point unless he gets injured first?

 

[Coasters7]

Cerra been good at least as well. The lack of good forward rookies makes it hard, same with defence really.

Yeah but we compromise and try to fill those gaps and it does limit the 30s on field to be fair, but also creates more problems later

 

[Exambolor]

Got FOS to swap on if he does get it

 

[Exambolor]

12/1037

8/831 (removing Horne Bags 62, Davidson 60, Hall 51, Trainor 33)

Taking those scorers away I’m in a good position, have four mega tons, one from an ultra POD in Farrell and my lowest scores that count are a couple of 75s, plus I’m yet to take a captain

A Super Sunday tommorow with 10 players to boot

Levi, Archer Reid (Thanks Ross you campaigner)
X, Sheeze (C), Daniel, Lindsay, Clarry
Bray, NOD, Roberts

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Only regret so far is no Rozee VC.

 

[bettingonbetts]

last min change bringing in Hall instead of Lindsay to be able to put Smith in utility and put fos on field and hall on field. Pretty happy with his end score considering but not happy that I don’t have Lindsay.
Garcia is another issue now grrr
Finlayson and Day out next week, week after I’ll deal with Garcia by bringing in another rookie

 

[samFFC]

Crae back to being best player in fantasy

View attachment 2257937

Highest score since the halcyon days of 2021.

(Only real score in 2024 was round 6 when he scored 129 (also against the Saints!))
