Our first taste of ‘real’ footy was dished up to us over the past week with nine games taking on varying formats, but plenty for us to get some ideas and create discussion points. Roy, Calvin and Warnie chat through each of the match simulation contests with a look at the Fantasy relevance from these.

Gents. I’m in a 4 team keeper league. Do I take a Merrett or Laird as my keeper to start off with a strong mid or do I take a defender/forward knowing the options are more slim. My best defenders were Sicily Newman and Duggan. Didn’t have any forward worth taking
