ROUND five was a leveller for Fantasy coaches. Not only did a few premium players dish up scores well below their usual output, coaches have had to pivot some of their thinking due to how their cash cows performed.

Rookies are the backbone of Fantasy Classic teams. They are the catalyst for team value increasing as we aim to improve our teams.

Over the weekend we saw Colby McKercher injured early in the game and subbed out on two points. Fellow Tasmanian Ryley Sanders was left stranded on 39 points when he was sent to the back of the interchange bench. Harvey Gallagher (29) and Jhye Clark (2) were other cash cows whose cash generation has now stunted.

On the other hand, we saw some fantastic performances from the most popular player traded in last week, Sam Clohesy who racked up 94 points and his team mate Will Graham who will be a highly targeted played following his 104 point game.

A double downgrade could be on the cards this week.
