It seems as though the midfield line is the last line being filled in our fantasy sides this year, with value presenting in defence and then the decisions to be made around the forwards and rucks. Some coaches are spending up in the mids, whilst others are looking at potentially 4 rookies on field! How you structure up will be crucial for success in AFL Fantasy this year!

Is the defensive line going to be one of the trickier lines to pick this year? It always seems that the top end defenders are fairly or over-priced, but with so many top end premiums having an early bye to start 2026, how will you go about picking players in your defensive line?In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the defensive line.
