AFL FANTASY coaches want the best players in their team, but a bit goes into making your two trades per week in Fantasy Classic.
Price is obviously a factor when making trades. It’s going to be tough, especially at this stage of the season, to have a team full of the top priced players. Coaches will need to prioritise who they bring in based on their value.
Finding players who are cheaper than what their current – and more importantly, future – output is can help you be savvy with available cash.

Calvin looks at some options on the latest episode of the AFL Fantasy Podcast who may be the among the top premium options at the end of the season. Touk Miller (MID, $885,000) has bottomed out in price and should be on your shopping list. For several thousand dollars less, Patrick Cripps (MID, $831,000) is a great pick based on what he’s scoring and the potential that he could be in the top handful of Fantasy scorers this year.
