Captains 2026 Fantasy VC/Captains Thread

[DenieD]

Time to get this one up and running to get people thinking about their options for round 1.

I reckon a lot of coaches will have Butters or Rozee as their Captain this week against North.

But some coaches may also go with an Anderson or Petracca against West Coast, or even a Walsh against Richmond.

walsh into trac

English into Nando
If English scores over 120 think I’ll have to start a red dot

Crows don’t really tag at all, and I don’t think they can afford to with all their midfield outs anyway

Is this fantasy or a hotel breakfast?

Got a 147 against them in debut season then a 120 yesr 2 and not much else. Weird

Caldwell into Dawson. Not keen on a red dot startup though.
Might just whack the C on Caldwell and start praying...

Bond will be named
Sometimes does a shut down role. Won’t surprise me if we do but also if we don’t

That probably doesn’t help lol

Dawson straight up C. 30 green dots ftw.

[Zevon]

Yeah I’m going to have too many green dots for a VC loop, so I guess I’ll probably captain that N.Daicos fellow that I’ve been hearing so much about

I’m thinking Naicos into Butters or Trac

I'm currently Daicos into Butters

Brave call after what Perryman did to Nas. I’m not saying Perryman will definitely tag or that Dawson is the same type of player as Nas, but there’s enough risk there to avoid IMO, especially with the straight C.

Agree on the 30 green dots though, I’m going with Butters.

 

[Mr Gor]

+1 for Butters

 

[Dan12]

Walsh straight C imo
Best option and thirty green dots

Yeah this is the one round where VC shouldn't really matter as everyone should have 30 green dots. Of course your VC then goes huge and you need to decide whether to start the season with one red dot (which you know you'll get rid of in a week or two, but ends up being that same red dot all season because too many other issues come up).

Yeah it's more because of his high floor that I'm going there. Don't expect a 140, but also don't expect a 95. Flanders tonned in a similar role and he didn't touch it until the second qtr. Not sure Perryman can go with Dawson size wise, so don't think they will bother. It's not Collingwood's regular MO either. Nas slightly different gravy to Dawson.

What VC score will force our hand to have a red dot?

For me it's a 150. Fairly certain Butters goes at least 120 against North so anything less than an extra 30 points on that would not be worth it.
