Strategy 2026 AFL Fantasy Pre-Season

[DenieD]

Are we nervous about this taking McGoat's spot?

Not nervous at all

Set and Forget easy peasy.

I'll be watching the Fremantle West Coast game tomorrow very closely, so if anyone wants me to tally up the stats for some of the players they want then let me know.

I won't do it for every player (seems excessive considering most players aren't really fantasy relevant anyway) but I'll try and do about 10-12 of the most important ones.

Would love to see McVee’s role and if the attacking half back move is real

I do find these ownership numbers pretty interesting at this point in the season. Shows the percentage of teams that are switched on and paying attention to match sims.

Personally Im paying attention plenty, but making a point to not tinker with my team too much (based on any praccy games at least)

It will all change after Rd 0 anyway

I messaged the game last week about the inability to 'favourite' players like we could in the old format. You don't think of these little things until you go to use them. The platform has certainly gone backwards this year.

FWIW, I also mentioned the ability to search players requiring a click (previously it was on the Team page), lack of sort functionality and lack of dark mode option.

exactly my 2 main gripes with the website, so ****ing annoying

you can favourite but its less convenient, an extra couple of clicks for each player

Isnt it the little star above games played?

last year you could favourite then without having to click on their profile, you could do it straight from the player search thing

I’ve mostly tinkered with the bench considering the amount of options we have, but that’s also warranted a on field restructure as well to help that

They probably have data on the usage of various features from previous years and have made changes based on that.

Could be that the majority of users didn't use the favourite feature, so they didn't prioritise it. We need to remember there are some boring people out there that don't put the same time and effort into fantasy as us...

it was never in the way or anything though, the feature was pretty subtle if you didnt use it, and they havent used that space for anything else


There is so much space on the player things that a star wouldve been unnoticed by most, same as before.

The whole website feels like its been made for mobile and adjusted for PC rather than made for PC with keyboard and mouse


Then the fact you have to click the search icon, then click again in the box to type a players name is honestly just a disgrace - yes I know its not life changing but its something so basic that it should just never be like that, like having a graphic on the screen be so obviously out of place.

Not sure what to make of these as didnt watch so not sure game time of guys.

Xerri if didnt play whole game looks to have pretty good number of hitouts even if struggled in the throw ups.

He played whole game basically, if this was last year though he would've had 40+ imo as he lost nearly every hitout in the CBA's.

10-15 pts missing solely from the new rules.

WTF IS THIS CAM ANGLE???????????

 

[amazingjoshy]

Duursma started on fire

 

[2big2strom]

[Shaunn]

Zane?

 

[2big2strom]

probably cos of the high chance it could have been over 40+ today

 

[2big2strom]

Zane?

yuck no, Big W

 

[tigs2010]

**** off Maric, youre so 2025, let Lindpig have the kick ins

 

[2big2strom]

CDT getting around the ground pretty well for such a big fella

I'll do some small updates during the game, but the full player stats will be posted after the game.

Duursma already on 27 fantasy points after the first 10 minutes of the game. Looks really comfortable out there on the wing.

I dunno why people were not picking him just because of that role, he’s probably got very secure JS and will make money albeit slowly

Probably think hes similar to FOS, didn't get much of it the first half of the year, i think he will get abit more of it though.

 

[Exambolor]

Also DevRob looks a lock now getting heaps of CBAs, easy F6

 

[Sneh]

Dunno if I'll keep Schoey, but have no idea who to turn him into. Cumming?

Edit: Dammit, Newton is fwd only
