When you talk about leading the way, not many captains do it better than Andrew Swallow. So there’s little surprise he’s regarded as North’s most valuable player in this year’s AFL Fantasy competition.

Registrations for the popular game, traditionally known as Dream Team opened at midnight on Thursday, with Swallow ranked 15th in the league at a price of $528,800.

Next on the list come Liam Anthony and Sam Gibson, with their lofty prices representative of their ability to regularly find the football.

Anthony will set you back a little under $500,000, while Gibson ($468,400) holds the mantle as 2012’s biggest cash cow with his value rising nearly $400,000 since his debut.

Brent Harvey ($452,000) and Daniel Wells ($448,200) round out the top five at the Kangaroos, but a player like Ben Cunnington ($387,500) could prove one of the best bargains after such a strong finish to last season.

Taylor Garner ($120,700) is the most expensive among the first-year acquisitions, while Ben Jacobs ($311,000), Taylor Hine ($263,400) and Jordan Gysberts ($262,800) have carried their prices across from their former clubs.
