Warnie from The Traders, AFL.com.au’s NAB AFL Fantasy experts, will be taking a look at the Bombers each week exclusive to essendonfc.com.au.
LAST WEEK
Notching up back-to-back wins is always a good thing, but doing it against Carlton is even better. The Bombers won the game by 21 points and finished scoring 1725 Fantasy points to Carlton’s 1325.
Our captain Jobe Watson was best afield, finding the ball 36 times and posting 140 points. Jobe increased $10K off the back of that and just quietly, at $587,000, he is a steal. Only 4% of the competition own him, so get on now!
Another value midfielder, Brent Stanton, had a good day taking eight marks and laying five tackles to go with his 28 touches for 115 points. If you don’t have the cash to get to Jobe, then find $520,000 to get in Stants.
In Brendon Goddard’s 250th game, the FWD/MID was busy, racking up 94 points.
TOP 5 SCORERS V CARLTON
- 140 – Jobe Watson (MID, $587,000)
- 115 – Brent Stanton (MID, $520,000)
- 102 – Ben Howlett (FWD/MID, $428,000)
- 97 – Michael Hurley (DEF, $427,000)
- 97 – Dyson Heppell (MID, $612,000)
ON THE RADAR
Ruckman Tom Bellchambers’ breakeven remains low at 35. He has some cash generation to come. Belly is projected to add another $30K in value over the next fortnight.
A couple of lower scores has put Michael Hibberd at the attractive price of $465,000, down $41K from his starting figure. With a breakeven of 102, he should bottom out in price in the next week or two provided he gets back to scoring the high-80 average he has posted over the last couple of season.
WHAT’S COMING UP
On Anzac Day in 2014 Brent Stanton had a monster game, racking up 143 points. He loves playing the Magpies as he backed up that stellar performance with 150 in round 17 last year.
Midfielder Dyson Heppell also enjoyed a big Anzac Day, scoring 129 points.
Next Saturday’s blockbuster is a Match Day game. It is the quickest and easiest Fantasy game to play. Pick a squad of seven players at http://fantasy.afl.com.au for your chance to win $10,000. I’ll be locking in Stants as my captain hoping he can go big again.
