AFL.com.au's Warnie, Calvin and Roy bring you the Round 19 AFL Fantasy wrap:
Last Week’s Events
Marc Murphy maintained his outstanding form against the Pies with 36 possessions and two goals for a team high 139. Youngster Patrick Cripps showed why he is held in such high regard with another brilliant performance, highlighted by 35 possessions and six marks for 105.
On The Radar
Despite his outstanding form in the second half of the year, Murphy is still owned by less than five per cent of the competition. He could be a perfect unique trade option leading into Fantasy finals with a five game average of 107 and a three game average of 112. His coaches should enjoy instant reward with a game against the Lions this week.
Top Scorers
• Marc Murphy (MID, $555,000) 139
• Patrick Cripps (MID, $452,000) 105
• Tom Bell (MID, $452,000) 90
• Kade Simpson (MID, $82,000) 82
• Matthew Kreuzer (RUC, $423,000) 81
What’s Coming Up?
Last time the Blues met the Lions, Tom Bell led the way with 116 from 27 touches and two goals. Murphy was quiet in that hit out with just 15 possessions, but look for him to dominate this week as he will likely double that tally and his Fantasy score will reflect that.

What is new in AFL Fantasy for 2015?
Great new prizes
There's $25,000 up for grabs for the overall winner of Fantasy Classic, along with a complete AFL Grand Final experience package. There's also $5000 on offer for second place and $1000 for third.
One click to regenerate your leagues
It's easier than ever to take on your mates in Fantasy. League commissioners can quickly recreate their leagues from 2014 and invite the same friends along with new players. Those who create and fill their Fantasy Classic league by March 2 receive a free AFL Live subscription for 2015.
$10 million to play with
Your salary cap remains at $10 million with 30 spots to be filled and the same mix as last year of defenders, midfielders, ruckmen and forwards. If you want Tom Rockliff, he's going to set you back a whopping $763,000. It's those quality players returning from injury (think Daniel Rich, Matthew Kreuzer, Nathan van Berlo) who look like the smart picks as you trial your team through the NAB Challenge.
Join unlimited leagues
Why limit yourself? Fantasy Classic allows you to play in as many leagues as you wish and to customise the size and structure of those leagues to your taste. Do you want to play finals, battle it out in a quick 10-week season or ditch the head-to-head games and hand over the trophy to the overall top scorer. The choice is yours.
