Rory Sloane was the AFL’s top Fantasy performer last round following his stellar performance in Adelaide’s 33-point win over North Melbourne on Thursday night.
Sloane amassed 139 points for his third-highest total of the season and also his third consecutive Fantasy ton.
The hard-nosed midfielder notched 30 possessions, including seven clearances and a round-high 13 tackles. He was also aided by two free kicks for.
Sloane has now scored over 100 Fantasy points in five of his last six appearances, and his three-round average of 128.7 is second in the competition behind only former teammate, Patrick Dangerfield.
Despite his recent form and elite credentials, Sloane has attracted relatively little interest from Fantasy coaches, with just over six per cent ownership. Sloane piled on $13,000 in value for his Round 14 performance and takes an achievable break even of 89 into this weekend’s clash with Melbourne.
Emerging midfielder Matt Crouch was the other Fantasy standout for the Crows, earning his best ever AFL Fantasy total of 126 points.
Crouch was instrumental for the Crows, amassing a game-high 32 disposals, including seven tackles and two goals - the first multi-goal game of his career.
With an average score of 112.7 over the last three rounds, Crouch is beginning to attract substantial interest from Fantasy coaches and his ownership is now around the seven per cent mark and growing.
He piled on $24,000 in value for his game against the Kangaroos and takes a very tempting break even of 49 into Adelaide’s Round 15 clash against Melbourne.
By the numbers: Round 14 v North Melbourne
Also worthy of a mention are Scott Thompson and the perennially consistent Tom Lynch.
After a lean few weeks, Thompson has rebounded strongly in recent rounds to recapture his early-season Fantasy form.
In the four games prior to Round 11, Thompson averaged a meagre 71 but appears back to his best, notching 98 Fantasy points against the Roos.
Lynch on the other hand has proven to be ‘Mr Consistency’ in 2016, and whilst he has not set the Fantasy world alight, he continues to average around the 90-point mark, putting together a total of 94 against the Roos.
The half-forward flanker had 27 possessions against North Melbourne, his best return for the season. He also kicked a goal and took four marks.
