Last year Tom Mitchell broke the record for the most Fantasy points scored in the season. He's on track to beat that following his 187 on Sunday afternoon. With his price back to where it started and sights set on the next record, breaking Tom Rockliff's 134.8 average from 2014, Mitchell is a set-and-forget captain week-to-week. While the Hawk's form has been outstanding, he's the most popular pla...

Finally, the bye rounds are over and Fantasy coaches around the country are looking forward to 'normal' rounds of footy for the next nine weeks... with a sprinkling of Thursday night games. Following the three multi-bye rounds, coaches approached the challenging weeks with two things in mind; fielding 18 players each week and making their teams better without sideways trading. The Traders had that...

We could see a record for the most traded in player this week. Tom Rockliff (MID/FWD, $545,000) is the man on everyone's mind as trades for round 11 are locked in. Things haven't exactly gone right for the Fantasy Pig since joining Port Adelaide in the off-season. Shoulder surgery meant for an interrupted pre-season and a knee injury kept him out of both JLT Community Series games. Rockliff suited...

Some would argue that there have been plenty already, AFL Fantasy coaches will be facing their first big challenge of the season; the byes.
