Fantasy points were hard earned in Adelaide’s grueling win over the Western Bulldogs, with just two Crows reaching the 100-point milestone.
Tom Lynch ($406,201) continues to impress since returning from a pre-season shoulder injury, posting 101 Fantasy points in his first full AFL game of the season. Lynch racked up 25 disposals, seven marks and two goals whilst also creating several opportunities for his teammates. The 23-year-old forward crashed into packs to win 13 contested possessions for the game – second only to Patrick Dangerfield for Adelaide. After trimming $15k off his starting price due to a sub-affected 21 against the Giants, Lynch will be ripe for the picking after this weekend’s clash with the Demons.
Patrick Dangerfield ($496,685) continued his return to Fantasy form with a team-high 103 Fantasy points. Danger was battered from pillar to post against the Dogs, but the 24-year-old star still proved to be the match-winner with 28 disposals, seven clearances and six inside 50ms. Dangerfield is already the sixth-highest scoring forward in AFL Fantasy with his price on the rebound after a slow start to the Fantasy season. A break even of just 65 for Round Seven will surely see his stocks rise again this weekend.
Midfielder Matthew Wright ($427,950) has been one of Adelaide’s most consistent Fantasy performers in 2014. The reliable Crow has scored 90-plus points in Adelaide’s last four games, including a 93 against the Bulldogs. Dual-position players are already valuable assets in AFL Fantasy, but Wright’s ability to post big scores from limited possession is another useful feature of his game with the 24-year-old ranked equal-second at the Club for tackles this season. With or without the ball, Fantasy coaches can expect Matthew Wright to be a handy contributor every round.
