CALVIN is pretty happy with himself this week. He's dusted himself off the canvas during the byes and leapfrogged Warnie, but could it only be for the week? Round 15 is arguably the hardest of the four bye rounds. The reason being, 10 of the top 13 forwards, who all average more than 90 Fantasy points, are on a bye this week.

Carlton, Greater Western Sydney, North Melbourne, Port Adelaide, Richmond and Western Bulldogs are the clubs taking a break for the last bye round. Tim Taranto, Connor Rozee, Stephen Coniglio and Zak Butters are the most popular premium forwards in Fantasy Classic, along with star rookie Harry Sheezel. Add the No.1 ruck Tim English with his teammates Marcus Bontempelli and Jack Macrae, plus breakout midfielder of the year Tom Green, and some teams will be decimated.

Calvin and Warnie chat through which players can be traded, who should be held and the all-important trade targets from the clubs who have completed their bye.
