Fantasy Winners & Losers: Round 20

While they were missing their two best Fantasy prospects in Round 20, the Panthers still ended up with a player topping the scoring thanks to a Dylan Edwards special. 

A lowly-owned EDG starred as well, while the round's overwhelming captaincy choice got the job done with his sixth 80+ score of the season so far.

Panthers WFB Dylan Edwards rose to the occasion and then some in the absence of Nathan Cleary, scoring a pair of tries, running for 305 metres and breaking 11 tackles to register triple digits.

While the 101 was his second big score in a row – following a 68 gained back in Round 17 – the haul more than doubled his previous season average of 49.6.

It was enough to easily top the round ahead of Connely Lemuelu, who starred in his first game filling in for the injured Kulikefu Finefuiaki in the Dolphins' back row and scored 82.

With just 1,271 coaches owning him this week, Lemuelu was also the top POD for Round 20.

Terrell May, who almost a third of all teams captained this week, delivered the goods with an 80, while Blayke Brailey scored in the high 70s for a second-straight week to rank fourth.

CTR-eligible DPP players Sebastian Kris and Luke Garner both had 70.

New Wests Tigers CTR Taylan May enjoyed a huge club debut and had 66. Still only priced at $507k, he could be a popular trade target heading into Round 21.

Round 20 Fantasy Losers

Once a Fantasy gun, who in some seasons was close to a must have, the fall of David Fifita as a Fantasy prospect was on display again in Round 20 as he scored just four points in an 18-minute stint.

Gold Coast teammate Tino Fa'asuamaleaui's injury midway through the first half came as a cruel blow to the almost 10 percent of teams who own him and restricted him to only 10 points, with the big concern now being that Tino will be an immediate trade out if he misses multiple weeks.
