AFL Fantasy Dream Team Preview: Forwards
Here is a preview of a possible team for the AFL Fantasy Dream Team competition. The positions are from last season's competition, or an estimate for the new players. The team was put together using approximate prices for the players.
Jonathan Brown: He could be the leading goal-kicker in the AFL this season, and that would make him one of the best AFL fantasy players. Don't look at the totals for stats with Brown, as he missed half of 2006, the averages tell how dominant he can be.
Barry Hall: Hall doesn't just kick goals, for fantasy play he gets the mark, then a kick and then usually a goal. That adds up, and even if he kicks a point in Dream Team he gets points for that.
Lance Franklin: Sometimes his fantasy price doesn't equal his potential and with the Dream Team game he can be a bargain. He increased his goals per game average last season and would be expected to increase it again in 2007.
Matthew Pavlich: Will be worth it whatever the price in fantasy AFL.
Gary Ablett: The goals and marks of key position forwards can bring in big fantasy points in Dream Team, but small forwards are also very useful, especially ones that will often be played in the middle too.
Paul Chapman: Just like his teammate Ablett, but a few more possessions and a bit less hair.
Sean Rusling: The Magpies have a few skilful forwards, the big target in Rocca but their main leading option will be Rusling. Rusling will not be very expensive to start the season but should see a good increase in value if he kicks a few goals early in the season.
Courtney Johns: Might not have enough money left in the game's salary-cap to have an experienced forward on the bench but Johns didn't have a big price last season.
Beau Dowler: Can be played as a forward or back, won't cost a lot and he might have a big year.
