Inside the Fantasy Numbers – Round 5

Pete looks inside the numbers that matter for Fantasy coaches.

It has been quite a volatile start to the AFL Fantasy season for most coaches, if you have avoided the bullets from injury through to playing status or even form slumps you have been spared to this point. Making decisions from what unfolds in the early part of the season can be dangerous especially as premium players are being traded in to teams for the remainder of the year now, experienced coaches are likely relying on a greater body of work and more data than just the odd break-out game.

Points Given up by Teams

Nth Melbourne are the new Richmond, they are the only team that has not conceded 1500 total game points against any opposition team this year. Don’t look now but ranked No.2 just behind the Kangaroos are the Western Bulldogs, the Dogs have also been a Fantasy nightmare for opposing teams in 2016. It will be interesting to see what numbers are produced in Round 6 when these teams meet.

3 Prime Targets after DPP Changes

Robbie Gray MID/FWD

Salary: $517K
Break Even: 144.0
2016 Average: 93.4
2015 Average:  96.8

Forward Status has been awarded to Gray, after a brilliant start to the 2016 season with scores of 125 & 127 he has struggled in his last 3 games with an average of just 71.7pts per game. Considering his high BE and volatility in scoring Gray should  be considered as an upgrade to forward lines later in the year, he will be far cheaper than his current price plus it will give Coaches more time to analyse his scoring output.

James Kelly MID/DEF

Salary: $508K
Break Even: 79.0
2016 Average: 104.0
2015 Average:  81.8

Defender Status has been awarded to Kelly, after getting a 2nd chance at AFL late in his career Kelly is racking up an average of 27.0 Disposals per game. Kelly has never averaged over 100.0pts in a single season, but his weight of numbers and now DPP status make him a prime target for many Coaches. Durability may be the only concern for Kelly in 2016, he missed 5 games last year with the Cats in his final year. There are 2 thoughts for trading in Kelly, get him now because of a reasonable BE price or wait a little bit longer to see how the season unfolds for he and also the Bombers. With 3 scores over 100pts already this season, it is going to be very difficult to say no to him this week.

Bernie Vince MID/DEF

Salary: $516K
Break Even: 86.0
2016 Average: 100.0
2015 Average:  92.4

Defender Status has been awarded to Vince, with 3 consecutive scores over 100pts Christmas has come early for those with cheap backlines looking to upgrade. Since being let of the chain by the Demons at Round 8 last year Vince has averaged 99.9pts from his last 19 games which has included 11 scores of 100pts or more, Vince has a decent ceiling of points with his highest score over this period being 158pts vs Geelong in Round 12 2015. Vince is a must have for any defensive line-up as he should rank amongst the top in this category by the end of the year, his price is likely to increase gradually over the next few weeks at his current average.
