Picking defenders has been a bit of a head scratcher so far this pre-season with only a couple of 'must-have' players and plenty of options to consider depending on Fantasy Classic structure. As we can see in Draft rankings, there's plenty of depth and ability to post big scores. Matt Roberts from the Swans joins the boys to chat through his Fantasy stocks and he gives some intel on his team mates.
