AFL.com.au's Warnie, Calvin and Roy bring you the Round 18 AFL Fantasy wrap:
Last Week’s Events
Patrick Cripps battled hard against the Roos, collecting 20 possessions, taking six marks and laying an impressive six tackles for a team high 99. Kade Simpson continued to be a consistent performer in defence with 26 touches and 89, while Marc Murphy scraped together 80 points from 26 possessions despite copping a hard tag all night.
On The Radar
With money tight, finding value selections can take you all the way to premiership glory. Kade Simpson is a mark of consistency, dropping under 70 on only one occasion this year and he has scored over 90 an impressive six times. He has dropped $67K since the start of the year which emphasises his value.
Top Scorers
• Patrick Cripps (MID, $441,000) 99
• Kade Simpson (DEF, $454,000) 89
• Marc Murphy (MID, $545,000) 80
• Andrew Carrazzo (MID, $406,000) 80
• Matthew Kreuzer (RUC, $420,000) 80
What’s Coming Up?
Last time the Blues met the Pies, Sam Docherty led the way, with the usual suspects Murphy, Cripps and Simpson not far behind. With the Pies leaking points, expect these guys to push triple figures, along with Matty Kruezer who I think will have a big game.

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.
