Round 5 Captains

[CJApples87]

Who are you putting as captain this week given that we have a Partial Lockout?

RDT -> Rockliff VC and Beams C (I don't have Ablett or Pendles in that one).

Fantasy -> Martin (I don't really have anyone else in that game) VC and Ablett C.

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Just going to put the C on Ablett and be done with it.

After last weeks late out carnage (which I luckily avoided) I think i'd rather have the emergency than the chance of Martin/Cotchin/Rockliff outscoring Ablett or SJ. Seriously, Ablett could push 150 this week. What would Martin need to get, CJApples87 ,for you to keep his score over Ablett?

 

[CJApples87]

Probably 130+. I can't see me taking the captaincy off Ablett against Melbourne this week, to be honest.

 

[CrozaN]

Rocky VC, Ablett C.

If Rocky scores will ill take his score.

 

[Crawb]

Rockliff or Cotchin as my VC. Depends if Raines is named.

SJ will probably be my man if the loophole flops

Can you loophole in Fantasy? I thought you couldn't even in partial lockout rounds. Better check.

GAj C for me, can't resist.

I don't know. Don't care. RDT is where it's at (Even though I'm doing much better in Fantasy...)

 

[Clint Beastwood]

Can't go wrong with Gaz.

lol same!

 

[doona]

I havnt had a captain above 100 yet this season, I am going Rockcliff. DT'ers be warned.

I have blown it with beams, watson, cotchin and someone else.

BE WARNED!

"My concerns for Johnson in this game though lie deeper than the numbers.

He will be tagged by Liam Shiels, Will Langford or Jordan Lewis and plays a quality team who have only allowed seven players to score over 100 points against them so far this season.

For this reason alone, Ablett will be my number selection this week. There is a huge difference between Hawthorn and Melbourne and the Fantasy scores they concede, making Ablett a much safer captaincy option in round five."

He will be tagged by Liam Shiels,..........

Not playing mate

Ablett will kill it. I'm not sure why people will bother with the Rockliff/Cotchin loophole. These guys score a 130 and then what? I still reckon' Gaz will outscore them.

As for SJ. Shiels is out so will be tagged by rookie Langdon who hasn't been effective in shutting down opposition ball-winners like Crowley or Macaffer have. Remember SJ had a 150 on the Hawks in the final last year, he is a big game player and is a good captain option.

Sorry, just quoting what afl.com.au said. Thanks for that though!

Good point. That's my only headache GAJ or SJ. Not a bad problem to have but think I'll stick with Gaz.

haha, there is your problem

 

[Bailey01]

Sticking with Gaz, pissed that I didn't have Stevie J as my captain last week but Gaz is super consistent

Felt exactly the same. Just hope he doesn't do it again to us.

 

[Changamagic]

Can anybody confirm if the captains loophole can be used in AFL Fantasy?

Confirmed.

Confirmed.

Cheers mate

 

[kaisasosai]

So I am playing RDT and want to try this loophole thing

If I swap Minson off the ground with Thurlow and make him C while leaving the VC on Rocky does it mean I can then put Minson back on the ground and he wont become C?

How else can I do it?

Thanks gents

 

[pauldrc]

Confirmed.

So Is Fantasy a partial lockout?

The site isn't really clear on this like RDT....

Just leave Minson on the bench with the E on him and thurlow on ground with the C on him. That way you will get Rockys captain score and Minsons score as an emergency for Thurlow who didn't play
