Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 11

While Fantasy's most popular player stole the show with a remarkable performance that saw him enter a new tax bracket, it was actually some of the lesser-owned players who dominated Round 11 across on the board. 

The weekend also gave us the very rare instance of two teammates both registering entries to the 100 club in the same game, as a couple of Wests Tigers topped the overall rankings. 

Round 11 Fantasy Winners

Terrell May! The Wests Tigers big man powered into the $1m bracket with a devastating 109-point performance which changed the Round 11 outlook in the final game of the weekend.

If you captained May then it was brilliant. If you opted for Payne Haas or some else instead, then you suffered through just about every one of May's 80 minutes on the field, which included 63 tackles without a miss.

Next best and also in the triple digits was teammate Aspisai Koroisau, whose 103 came thanks in large part to a pair of tries, three line breaks and 58 tackles.

With presence in under six percent of teams, the $585k HOK was a big time point of difference for those with him too.

Keaon Koloamatangi (81) and Addin Fonua-Blake (80) ensured three of the top four spots were taken up by MID-eligible players, with HLFs Cameron Munster and Isaiya Katoa next line with 76. 

On the back of a six-game run in which he'd failed to score above 30, Xavier Savage's 74 came as a big surprise and left him as the rounds top WFB.

Outside of top-ranked May – who sits in half of all teams – it was a week for the lesser-owned in Fantasy, with 13 of the top 20 scorers being players with under 10 percent ownership. 

Round 11 Fantasy Losers

It was a tough watch to see outstanding Dragons rookie EDG Dylan Egan go down with a serious-looking injury five minutes into his side's win over the Broncos, and it means he's now an immediate sell on the back of registering a zero which sees him lose a bit of the $389k he'd gained prior. 

While injury was the reason for Egan's donut, there was no such excuse for Titans wing Alofiana Khan-Pereira, who had the same score despite playing the full 80 minutes.

The dramatic fall of Tom Trbojevic as a Fantasy prospect was very evident in Round 11 as well, with the former gun WFB struggling to just two points, due in large part to making six handling errors for -12 points in demerits. 

Brendan Piakura – a popular pickup this week who was recommended as a cash down option by yours truly – had a Fantasy shocker out on the left edge for Brisbane and finished with 12 points. 

Bad news as well for the 22,000-plus who still owned DPP Tom Gilbert in Round 11, with the enforcer managing just 15 before suffering a seemingly long-term injury which will make him a sell.
