ADELAIDE
Fantasy veteran: If there was an Ultimate Footy fantasy hall of fame, the likes of Gary Ablett, Dane Swan and Matthew Boyd would be automatic inclusions. Another who should be inducted is Scott Thompson, whose 126 reminded us that the old timer is still one of the best fantasy staples around.

BRISBANE
Rebounding Rocky: Sunday's game was abysmal but everyone's #myboy Tom Rockliff repaid the faith with 17 tackles. He will return to his absolute fantasy best – provided he gets more than 14 touches.

CARLTON
Friday nightmare: With Hawthorn marching towards a hat-trick of flags, Friday night could be costly for Carlton's fantasy midfielders. Only one Sydney midfielder topped the ton last week and Carlton, with less talent, could be buried, quickly.

COLLINGWOOD
Crisp breakout-complete: On the off chance he retains forward status in 2016, Jack Crisp will be among the five forwards taken. Let's all just appreciate his output in 2015, especially given his average draft position of 179.5.

ESSENDON
Structural woes, fantasy gain: Cale Hooker is experiencing the "play elite defenders forward and hope for the best" phase. Like Tom McDonald, it isn't the most practical move, but returns of 104 and 99 in the last three weeks can't be ignored.

FREMANTLE
Over-sung to unsung: One player whose pre-season hype is vanishing quicker than a magician's final act is Lachie Neale. He's still sailing smoothly with an average 103.1.

GEELONG
Sublime return: The return of Mitch Duncan was a godsend for Geelong along with his Ultimate Footy coaches. His 94 from 73% game time suggests he will have increased minutes this week, and more opportunity for fantasy points.

GOLD COAST
Gary greatness: It wouldn't be fair to not mention Gary Ablett here regardless of how many times he has featured in this slot this season. 176 is almost ridiculous. The champ is here.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY
Next big thing: Four goals, 27 touches and 124 points. Could Devon Smith be the next Steve Johnson? The pair face off this week and after winning the game for the Giants off his own boot, the odds will be in Smith's favour.

HAWTHORN
Risk vs reward: Luke Hodge is the No.1 Ultimate Footy defender by a considerable distance. However, in a keeper, I'd advise cashing in your chips and gaining a bountiful reward in return. Stock is peaking.

MELBOURNE
Insipid campaign: For every Liam Picken there is a Heritier Lumumba. He is now on the verge of a delisting. Trade immediately.

NORTH MELBOURNE
Veteran salute: 2015 may not have been his best and most productive fantasy season, yet Brent Harvey still has a fantasy game. 400 games and counting. Well done Boomer.

PORT ADELAIDE
Leaps and bounds: Last round Todd Goldstein returned 175 against Essendon. Paddy Ryder played his best game for his new club in the Showdown. He could be in for another mammoth score against his old side on Saturday night.

RICHMOND
Tiger trio: If there is anything Richmond has in spades, it is goal-kicking midfielders. Shane Edwards, Dustin Martin and Brett Deledio all hit the scoreboard. It's a niche built for fantasy.

ST KILDA
Dissatisfaction: If you were worried about Nick Riewoldt's calf, which you were entitled to, and didn't start him as a result, then you are also entitled to be somewhat disappointed in his respectable 89.

SYDNEY
Outlier: If the hypothetical award for best new elite prospect were announced today, Dan Hannebery's 90 against Hawthorn would likely mean he would be pipped at the post by Jack Steven. However, a solid return this week could alter things.

WEST COAST
Breakout crossroads: So you're telling me Elliott Yeo only scored 77 last week and not 100? Now, Jeremy McGovern is injured which means Yeo is likely to return to defence. Blasphemy.

WESTERN BULLDOGS
Dahl delivers: If you were smart enough to trade for Luke Dahlhaus a month ago, you will be mightily impressed with his return. He may just become one of the best rookie listed players ever if he continues on this path.
