Captains 2026 Fantasy VC/Captains Thread

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

Imagine the rage if you didn't take a 140, then your Captain cops a knock early doors for a 0.

Imagine the rage if you didn't take a 140, then your Captain cops a knock early doors for a 0.

Under the new rules I believe you'd get that 140 as your captain score. The rage would come if they cop a knock in the third quarter once they've gone over the 50% TOG threshold.

Gulden VC
Xerri C

No green dots so no looping to worry about

Didnt even own Xerri this morning so I probably wont, but ive convinced myself the ruck rules aren't going to change all that much and weve all tricked ourselves

 

[bettingonbetts]

With Blamires being named, I really hope English only scores about 115 so I’m not tempted to take it, and don’t want a red dot
I want Blamires in my utility and to not be tempted by a red dot

Can't decide between Rozee vs North Melbourne or Walsh vs Richmond.

No red dots.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Are we all VC'ing Jaguar tonight?

 

[Cm Perfect]

Went Walsh straight C for the flat ton. Bit annoying he couldn't pop a big one vs the Tiges but it's fine, long season ahead and it's probably the only round where I won't have a red dot loop.

Was a bit annoying he had some 50/50 calls go against him that turned a +2 or +4 into -3 and an advantage not called no +3. Just bad luck it wasn't 115 or 120. Very low scoring game overall too.

I went Jagga VC, just to remove the option of screwing my side to take a great VC score. Captaining English this week.

 

[Mezzoculo]

English into Naicos for me. No red dots at this stage so hoping English doesn't pump out a 130...

 

[jackag24]

Daicos.

 

[Sneh]

Daicos.

which one

 

[jackag24]

which one

Of the Nicholas variety

 

[stormee]

Caldwell into Butters

 

[BigVic]

Went Walsh as V thinking he will score big vs Richmond but it is either Petracca vs Eagles, Butters vs North 2 games earlier on the same day or Nick vs Crows at the 'G

Petracca a good shout, didnt even cross my mind tbh

(probably because im trying not to think about that game)

Where is the GC lineup on team sheets.
Forfeit...

I'm going Dawson VC / Butters C

 

[swanny1234]

Tossing up between just straight captaining English today, with no red dots or going for one of Rozee/Butters tomorrow?

 

[Phar Ace]

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

That's the interesting dilemma. Is it worth a red dot for say an extra 20pts. Is the play better to get an extra chance at $50-70k maybe, and to be on it if you choose well?

 

[DenieD]

This is a cool new screen:


Now there is an easy way to see just how bad I am at picking captains.

 

[mezaire]

Early look for me is English into Sheez, although Nando tempting for a VC

Nando always disappoints, go your first instinct

 

[kozi]

Trac into Sheez
