AFL FANTASY TAKE
Stringer averaged 41.3pts in 2020, he scored a season high 82pts in Round 5 against Collingwood.
The centre bounce usage for Stringer early in 2020 was high, his bigger body was preferred in midfield match-ups against opposition midfielders.
The injury to an area around the Achilles isn’t great news for Stringer if he is indeed going to be split through a forward/midfield role early in 2021, other Essendon mids are likely to benefit if that midfield role is scrapped.

Stringer is a pass in AFL Fantasy classic, his scoring rate is too low to be considered. He’s also a pass in 10 team standard draft leagues.
