IF THERE'S one thing AFL Fantasy coaches like, it’s fielding players who have a sweet role for scoring bulk Fantasy points.
Midfielders with high centre bounce attendances (CBAs) and defenders playing on when kicking the ball in from a behind are massive winners.
FANTASY LATEST Tips, strategy, draft, podcasts, more
Following CBAs gives an insight into who is among the preferred midfield group for each club. For Fantasy coaches, this gives a peek into the roles of a range of players. Usually midfielders are the higher point scorers and targeting those spending time on the ball can help with boosting the scores.
A kick-in from within the square doesn’t count as a kick on the stat sheet, but when it is taken from outside of the square, the +3 will be added to a player’s Fantasy score.
The round one CBAs and kick-in stats, thanks to Champion Data, are below.
