Strategy 2026 AFL Fantasy Pre-Season

So you don't have to listen to annoying voices for 1 hour.

Key points from the traders:
-Better upgraded system, user friendly, better features
-Editing trades no limit or restrictions. Example if you have traded a player who has played and the other hasn't played inside the same trade. You can trade the player that hasn't played as long as it's valid. Trade is only 100% locked if both players have played
-Triple position players (everyone will start as single or DPP, can become triple during the season) WOW
-Sub will count if they scored higher than a player on the field as long as player on the field has played less than 50% of the game. This is huuuuge!

Hope this helps because it is hard to listen to them.

You have done us a great service and it won't be forgotten !!

I have listened to the first 15 minutes of it. I had forgotten how unbearable they sound. The over the top forced laughter at every single little joke or lame dig at each other. SO bad.

That 50% sub rule is a good one.

 

[Constantgin]

Yeah triple dpp and sub rule look like great things.

Be honest you already forgot

Forgot what ?

 

[Demon in Hell]

All players seem to have a position and price except for Essendons Cat B rookie in Cillian Bourke. I know he was only signed by Essendon on December 2nd but I hope they are not confusing him with Cillian Burke who a is a Geelong Cat B rookie.

Why would that be confusing for anyone ???

 

[Shaunn]

So Gulden, Petracca and English all have early byes :/, prob not starting them now.

 

[Shaunn]

Also Classic wont be open till early Jan apparently ;(.

It's like that time Port Adelaide replaced Jack Trengove with Jack Trengove

 

[tigs2010]

Also Classic wont be open till early Jan apparently ;(.

[tigs2010]

Can't wait for Cillian Bourke to get added for 2027 & his photo uploaded by 2030 if he lasts that long on a list.

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Love the 50% tog rule. Emgs relevant again and looping everything now a huge risk

Fixing the trade system was a must or they wouldve started losing numbers. Glad to hear

Must be the only one here who actually enjoys The Traders. Reckon they're always a great listen personally

Yeah i dont mind them, they have good banter and aren't boring which keeps you interested.

But yep love the fixes/changes they've made for next year, less luck involved with injuries playing big parts.

Very glad looping has been restricted, and adds a lot more strategy with the bench, do you get cheap players with very good JS in for active bench cover?

 

[DenieD]

Made a team in notepad (sad i know)

Took me like 2 hours lmao, but having a hard time filling the forward line thats for sure.

I found the defence line the hardest by far. Only underpriced guy I can think of is Kiddy.

For me there is far too many options in the forward line. So many underpriced guys, will be difficult to choose which ones to start.

Petracca has West Coast and Richmond in the first 2 weeks before his bye

Mckercher, Newman and Bergman are decent shouts.

Yeah will be a hard one to judge tbh, cause i do feel he will get more of the ball than this year as it will be down the forward line more for his mid/fwd role.

I do love ports easy run for the first 5 games so i like JHF aswell and i feel like that spot will be one or the other, but he might be playing fwd more than mid next year so maybe i lean Trac.

Well JHF is a mid only in 2026 so that should make the choice much easier.
