FOR A long time, AFL Fantasy coaches have known that Brayden Fiorini can rack up points … and he's doing it again.
When he's had his chance at AFL level, he's been an elite Fantasy scorer. Many remember his 166 in his second game. He was a pig in the NEAFL and his recent VFL numbers have been exceptional.
Opportunity has come knocking again for Fiorini and he is currently the most traded in player by Fantasy Classic coaches due to his $559K price tag and the 112 he posted in the absence of Touk Miller last week.

Could he be a better option, considering price, than Noah Anderson who is coming off four Fantasy tons, including top scores of 159 and 134? Or maybe you can look at Rory Atkins as a DEF/MID, who comes in at $386K, who scored 102 in his first game of the season?
The Suns have provided a few Fantasy options this year and The Traders discuss them on the latest episode of their podcast. They chat through all the issues of the week, including the high-scoring round, answer your questions and have a bit of fun (and a whinge) along the way.
