Bargain Players For AFL Fantasy Teams
The preseason games have shown the improvement in some players and have also given a glimpse of the potential for a number of young players and now that fantasy prices are being released there are a few bargains that could help you win in AFL fantasy games. An investment for your bench, a money saving option so you can afford more expensive stars or maybe you can start some of these players. All these players are among the lowest in fantasy price at their position.
Lindsay Thomas:
A very cheap player, but judging his potential by his great stats in preseason he should be a huge fantasy steal.
Bryce Gibbs:
Should play every game for the Blues, and should be on many fantasy teams.
Alwyn Davey:
Sheedy seems ready to put him in their forward line, fantasy managers should do the same.
Aaron Edwards:
It looks like the Kangaroos need to play him, a fantasy forward with a low price but a good chance of kicking plenty of goals.
Jason Winderlich:
2007 could be his breakout year and his fantasy price is quite low so there is little risk in signing him.
Cameron Cloke:
It's unbelievable, he could be an above-average fantasy ruckman this season.
Sam Hunt:
This could be the biggest steal of the lot, he has played AFL before but his price doesn't reflect that. If the Cats keep playing him then he should quadruple in value.
Justin Koschitzke:
His price is actually so low that it could be justified putting him on a fantasy bench. Of course if he returns to his past form his stats will be among the top 100 players.
Joel Selwood:
There is no logical reason why the Cats wouldn't have him in their senior team, he should also be on many AFL fantasy teams.
Jonathon Griffin:
He is one of the few healthy talls for the Crows, he showed he could kick goals in the NAB Cup game and his price is very low.
Travis Varcoe:
Has the advantage over the first-year, low-priced players as he was with Geelong last season too, he is more than ready for AFL football.
David Rodan:
His preseason stats were a lot better than expected, his fantasy price was lower than expected.
Simon Taylor:
Has been playing more in preseason games, if that continues he might do enough for stats with his low fantasy price.
Sean Dempster:
Has a cheap price and with LRT sitting he has a role to play for the Swans now.
Andrew Browne:
Farmer's possible replacement for the Dockers, and a cheap fantasy option.
Matt Riggio:
Has done enough to have a spot in the Kangaroos' team and his price is so low he should have a spot in fantasy teams too.
Chris Knights:
A few of the Crows' smaller players have been slowed with injuries, Knights is ready to take their place in round 1.
Tom Hawkins:
There has to be a time in the season when Ottens gets hurt or Mooney gets suspended, and then Hawkins will have a big game, at a low fantasy price.
Richard Cole:
If Essendon name him for round 1 then a fantasy spot might make sense as his cost is quite low.
Daniel Merrett:
Doesn't cost a lot and will play every game, will get some stats but not a lot.
Tim Boyle:
Kicking goals every game now for the Hawks, although it's just preseason, and his price is very low.
Clint Bizzell:
Old now but he used to be a defender with a lot of the ball, his fantasy price is low enough to take a risk on playing him if the Demons do.
Xavier Ellis:
Still cheap in fantasy leagues, he should have some good games this season.
Nathan Ablett:
He's an Ablett, his fantasy price is low, could be worth a roster spot.
Matt Tyler:
Could depend on how many talls they get back for their first game but Tyler could keep his spot in the team.
David Armitage:
Injuries have mostly hit the Saints' bigs, but a couple of their small players also have injury problems and Armitage is a likely starter for their round 1 team.
Josh Kennedy:
This is the Carlton one, a low price really undervalues his potential as a big-marking forward.
Djaran Whyman:
Had a brief run in the NAB Cup games, he is a player that Laidley might play this season.
Jack Riewoldt:
They are running out of talls at Richmond, if Jack is healthy then he could be playing in their senior team.
Matthew Campbell:
Might as well remember him when selecting fantasy players even though he is currently a rookie. With Harding, and his long-term injury, and Hay going away the Kangaroos should be able to elevate Campbell to the senior list, although right now it seems they won't be able to replace Hay with a rookie.
