The @Dreamteam_Guru looks at how 4 teams can help you win the league this year.
With the advent of the bye rounds this year, the AFL have changed their approach to fantasy football. Instead of the first few rounds being non-match matches (as you waited until round 4 before you played anyone), this is now being substituted for rounds where multiple teams have byes.
There are six rounds this year where more than one team has a bye. In these rounds, you won’t play against anyone.
Each team has 2 byes this year. However, 4 teams share their bye with 2 other teams on both occasions they have their bye. This is great news for dreamteamers.
Brisbane – If you pick a Jonathon Brown, and he plays all of Brisbane’s 22 games for the year, he can line up for you every time you are playing opposition. You won’t have to play a Jack darling in his place as when Brisbane have the bye, the round won’t count in head to head competition.
The same applies for Melbourne – this makes Sylvia, Trengove and Scully more appealing.
The youth of the dockers are also hot property, as well as their established stars. Enter Pavlich into your team!
Sydney is the funny egg in this basket. Sydney players traditionally don’t score that well in AFL dreamteam (Supercoach is more their game). However, it might be worth taking a risk this year. I decided when I saw the draw this year that Kieran Jack is my essential pick. He is set for a big year, and I think he will be under priced for what he can do this year.
So if you are tossing up between a Brown and a Riewoldt, factor in when they have their byes. This might tip you over into making a decision that can win you a flag this year!
