When given the right role he’s a premium forward but does a move clubs help or hinder his fantasy footy relevance?
2018 was billed as the year we’d see Libba and his Bulldogs back to there premiership winning best. Sadly injury stalled his season, but he looks happy, hungry and ready to deliver a huge 2019 season.
Is he the best value of all the mid-price defender? Is he the safest option? Or do better options exist?
The Crows dashing defender was desperately missed for most of 2018, and while for some coaches he’s placed on the ‘never again list’ for the coaches that do select him I can see him playing a valuable role.
Hopefully we’ve learnt our lesson. Even though his name may be on the ‘never again’ list, Pearce offers supreme fantasy value IF he can get his body right.

He was one of the surprise packet premiums of 2017 but after a sudden fall mid game that was triggered by an irregular heartbeat. Thankfully he’s got the medical all clear and now presents fantasy coaches a real value selection.
It’s the most Important JLT Series ever and it because of one major reason…
He was one of a number of players plucked from state-based leagues. While Corbett may not be the highest fantasy scoring cash cow we get, I believe he does bring one thing that other state-based league players don’t have. Job Security.
He’s always been a consistent performer and highly relevant in drafts for many seasons. But late last year things changed, and for the better.
12 months ago he was 1 concussion away from career over, but in 2018 he was one of the best defenders.
