AFL Fantasy 2022- Starting 22: Predicted Team- ‘pointers’ (Final Thoughts)
- There were plenty of risks taken in this Predicted Team; four players didn’t play the entirety of Season 2021; James Sicily, Wayne Milera, Braydon Preuss and Forward Cam Rayner.
- Two players selected were priced at over $900,000; Ben Keays and Tim Taranto.
- The team contains plenty of mid priced players.
- This Predicted ‘pointers’ Team doesn’t have many ‘safe’ selections; only three players averaged over 100 points in Season 2021!
- At the end of the day there’s plenty of luck involved!
