We're through the first week of matches, and for both SuperCoach and AFL Fantasy coaches, corrective trades and slight movements may be necessary to get your side tracking along nicely.
Here are the players you should be targeting heading into round two, why they are worthy of selection and what they should offer your team moving forward. In no particular order, here are the five:
The premiership hero hasn't slowed down since his historic performance, and signs continue to show his breakout potential. After beginning the year with 79 disposals across two JLT performances, Sheed repaid the faith in those who selected him with a 38 disposals and one goal match against the Lions.
A round one score of 133 in Fantasy and 144 in SuperCoach will surely entice a few people, but many still believe the return of suspended midfielder Andrew Gaff will hinder Sheed's impact. However, Gaff actually played in West Coast's second JLT where Sheed recorded 40 disposals, proving this to be untrue.
One of the better first-game performances from a player in a losing side, the 18-year-old was a shining light for the Kangaroos as they were given an 82-point drubbing by the Dockers.
Scott collected 21 disposals, eight marks and two goals on debut - finishing around the 100 mark in both fantasy formats. If you failed to select him at the beginning of the season, you shouldn't have to give it a second thought. Scott will make a lot of money fast for your fantasy side.
The Western Australian will be the hot topic of trade talks all season long, that's just the way it is. The one person who doesn't seem fazed by it all is Kelly himself. To begin his second year in the league, Kelly had a best-on-ground performance against the Magpies.
Collecting 31 possessions, 17 of which were kicks had him finishing above the triple-figure mark in both AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach. His durability in both games will make him a popular pick as players start to target potential upgrades.
Many within the fantasy community have been subject to the pain caused by Tom Rockliff in the past, but after what we saw against the Demons; the reward is looking greater than the risk.
'Rocky' put together 44 disposals, 10 marks and eight tackles in the opening round, off the back of a 41 possession game this past pre-season. For AFL fantasy users, his price will increase heavily each round meaning it's now or never. For those who play SuperCoach, you can assess him for a week before bringing him in, as his under-priced value will fluctuate following Round 3.
It was a dream start in the navy blue for Newman, the defender was the top-ranked player on the field Thursday Night with 134 SuperCoach points and 115 AFL Fantasy points.
The former Swan comes at a cheaper price in SuperCoach at $394,100, and is the second most traded in player this week 6.1% of teams acquiring him.
Newman showed he was capable of big scores in his debut season at Sydney, with 151 SuperCoach points and 135 AFL Fantasy points in just his fifth senior game.
Round 2 of the AFL home and away season kicks off tonight with Richmond and Collingwood at the MCG.
