Gather Round was a vibe, but most importantly for Fantasy coaches, a return to normality. We now have nine game a round and we’re heading into upgrade season… as long as there aren’t too many forced trades. This week also signals the first set of position updates. Calvin, Roy and Warnie chat through the most relevant and help you get set for round six.

I think we need to rename the season to, (The season of forced trades) where every week someone on your team gos down. To make all our teams a little different and frustrating. Kapow 👊💥
Why?????
FIGJAM
Really Smart trading out Jaques over watkins :) cracking player mate
While Grundy and NAS are clearly a great pair of ins I think people are responding negatively to the comparison with trading in Roberts and Farrow. Your trade cost an approx extra $600k for 4 extra points. In a trading game this does not feel like a win.
Why the negativity? Maybe people are smelling a lack of authenticty. It only takes a couple of clicks to see you have been playing Fantasy for at least 10 years and “Aw Shucks” phrases like “I was just trying to work out how you figured the best trades of the week, apparently it also goes on value as well so Farrow yes a lot cheaper so that makes sense now.” followed by call-to-action phrases like “You can see my team on Youtube or twitter” sounds formulaic, marketing-y and below what is expected from a “Christian youth leading radio announcer”. Be more honest and see if that helps turn those down thumbs up.
