Fantasy A-League Round 5

5 rounds in to the A-League and Jake is getting frustrated. Probably because I (Cody) am catching him, with only 19 points seperating us. Round 6 of the A-League provides many Fantasy Go-ers with personalle challenges with Perth, WSW and The Nix all having a bye while international juty also takes away many players. 

We get into the changes we are looking to make and also touch on Jake's stats for the week.

Fantasy A-League Round 1

Fantasy A-League Round 1

I (Cody) nearly deleted the Fantasy League after Round 1. Not only did I perform terribly, Jake topped our league out of 185 teams, the new guy at work came in 2nd and Russ (the other work colleague) is in 21st while I’m down in 132nd. Very disappointing. Elrich let me down. Meier let me down. The A-League let me down.

Anyway. 28 rounds to go. I’ll be back.

In this podcast Jake and I discuss Round 1 of the A-League through the lense of Fantasy Football. We talk about:

  • How our teams went (and the result of the cookie bet)
  • Which players we are keeping an eye on
  • The best performing players in Round 1
  • What trades (if any) are we making
  • Who are the players being traded in and out the most across the board
  • Who we think will win in Round 2

And we also answer some questions from the Fantasy A-League Facebook Group.

Thanks for playing - goodluck in Round 2! Please someone beat Jake.

- A quick recap of each of the NPL's

The Future of Australian Football | Round 33

You’re not going to want to miss this one. In our second last show of the season we go a little longer than usual, and for good reason. This week Cody asks Jake to break down his ‘Vision’ for Australian football. With all the changes happening at the top level of our game, we’ve times this one nicely.

In the video we refer to the “TPO Vision document. You can see that over on our website.

For those who listened/watched, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Where has Jake got it right, and where has he got it wrong?

We also discuss last weeks FFA Cup games and the NPL Finals game between now champions Campbelltown City and runners up Lions FC.

See you next week for our season wrap up.

Cheers,
