5 Harry Sheezel NM, DEF/FWD – 98 u A nother five-vote performance has seen Sheezel eclipse Nick Daicos’ total votes from last year and he’s got nine games to go. How many coaches will still have him after the bye?

4 Angus Sheldrick SYD, MID/FWD – 82 u T he most traded in player last round delivered at the Gabba, racking up a season-high score. His two goals in quick succession made sure his score counted in coaches’ best 18.

3 Dylan Williams PA, DEF/FWD – 76

u Rinse and repeat. Tim Taranto (MID/FWD, $1.1M) rolls into his bye round after a season-best performance, dominating the Saints with 38 possessions, 10 tackles and a goal. Producing a Fantasy season for the ages, Taranto was everywhere in round 14 and there’s no reason to suggest he’ll slow down after Richmond’s week off. It’s too early to throw ‘Timmy T’ into the pen with the other Fantasy pigs, but he’s certainly building his case. A popular Bulldogs pair were right among the best performers last week with Marcus Bontempelli (MID, $994,000) producing a round-high 158 points. The ‘Bont’ was on fire in the second half against the Roos with a staggering 107 points coming after half-time, ending the clash with a stat line of 32 possessions, six marks, 11 tackles

ROUND 14 1814 pts and three goals. His Bulldogs teammate Tim English (RUC, $991,000) wasn’t too far behind, bouncing back from a dud the previous week to record 130-plus for the fourth time this year. Another premium heading to his week off, Carlton’s Sam Docherty (DEF, $851,000), will be an intriguing trade target for coaches after his bye following a score of 124.

Honestly, where do I start?

TOP ROUND 14 SCORERS u For the four per cent of Fantasy Classic coaches who own Williams, his cash generation has been a thing of beauty. He is always reliable for his marks in the back half of the ground.

2 Bailey Humphrey GCS, MID/FWD – 75 u W hile it was a modest disposal count, his 10:1 kick-to-handball ratio, together with four marks, six tackles and a goal, made Humphrey a good cash cow play for the bye rounds.

1 Will Ashcroft BL, MID – 71 u C ontinuing to tick along with weekly votes, the second-placed Lion is having a great season. Ashcroft found the ball 23 times, 16 of which were contested, plus he had four tackles.

This year has been a disaster … and the bye rounds have followed suit. Some bad luck which has manifested into bad decisions means I will be playing a lot of catch up to win a Fantasy flag in 2023!

Jack Sinclair and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera with my trades helped me keep pace with the top coaches and continued the trend of improving my team for the long-term. The round 15 bye remains a challenge and Sam Walsh may get

ROUND 14 1955 pts

Is my job as the nation’s best captain picker redundant?

Tim Taranto is making it feel like that due to his stellar season that has seen him average 125 after 14 games. Just make him skipper this week? Oh wait, the Tigers are on the bye.
