Team Vanilla: The most popular AFL Fantasy players in 2023

See a team made up of players with the highest ownership.

We’re a few days from round one and more than 100,000 AFL Fantasy Classic teams have been entered. Here’s a look at the most popular players in the game and a ‘vanilla’ team made up of the consensus picks that fit under the salary cap.

The team features the 29 most selected players. Incredibly I was able to whack them in and they fit in the positions. Stephen Coniglio is in the midfield based on the forwards being filled up.

At 30 it’s Jack Macrae and then Dom Sheed at 31. There wasn’t enough cash to get them, so next on the list, at 32, was Lachlan McAndrew.

As Macrae was at 30, Cogs (24th most picked) could have been switched out for him (there was enough cash)… which is probably how I would structure up if I was making a tweak and still keeping to the scope of it being made up of the most popular players.

Unsure as to why Tsitas is so popular. Unsure if he’ll get a game.

Unsure myself too. It looks as if a couple of those 200k players just had a couple of selections, and once that number showed up on the selection filter, it was just a pile on of momentum from then on. There’s usually a couple of these players that pop up every season. At this stage he’ll likely be a popular captain loophole now.

When I first created my team with autofill months ago, Tsitas was popped in. In the couple of couples after that, when I had no idea which 200K rook to pick, I just marked my bench spots with most popular selections. As Dan said, the current Tsitas popularity is likely just a pile on factor from the momentum of early filled teams & selections.

I’ve got a team similar to the team above. There’s not much mention of Dusty or Cunnington in anything I’ve read. I been trying to find room in my team for at least one of those players as I think they can make $$$$$$ in the first say 6 Rounds. They both had seasons they would like to forget and I think at least one of the two could be handy. More than likely I’ll end up with Cunnington.

10 of my 22 onfield players are currently owned by less than 20% of coaches.
