As we head into Round 10, the fantasy season enters a phase where how you trade becomes just as important as who you trade.

In this week’s Coaches Panel Strategy Session, MJ Want and MiniMonk break down the key strategic questions AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach coaches are wrestling with right now from coaching changes and trade‑out priorities to downgrade scarcity and emerging DVP trends.

This episode is built around decision frameworks, not player hype.

What a coaching change at Carlton could mean for role stability, ball movement, and scoring profiles
Which types of players historically benefit or suffer after system changes
Differences in impact between AFL Fantasy consistency and SuperCoach scaling

How do you decide which problem to fix first?

Using examples like Farrow vs Bruhn vs Rachele, MJ and MiniMonk discuss:

Points on field vs cash generation
Structural risk vs short‑term pain
When the “obvious” trade out isn’t actually the correct one

This segment helps coaches align trades with team context, not public sentiment.

Why limited downgrade options change upgrade cadence
When it’s okay to slow down upgrades
Alternative pathways to maintain momentum without burning trades

Clear contrasts are made between:

AFL Fantasy flexibility
SuperCoach price mechanics and breakeven pressure

Which DVP trends are becoming reliable enough to influence trades
When DVP should confirm a trade — not drive it
How to avoid chasing matchup data at the expense of role security

This segment focuses on practical application, not raw numbers.
