As the title says post what you look for in a fantasy player, and who you think are the best players.
For me I think obviously the first thing you have to look at about a player is what team they are on. Since wins are counted toward their rating, a player who is on a team that you believe will play poorly at a lan should be considered toward the bottom of the list.
Obviously, the first players you are going to want to choose for fantasy are the most well rounded ones. That is not the main slayers or pure objective players, but rather the guy on the team you think will do a bit of everything for the team. Examples of this are players such as Roy and Ace.
However since you will more than likely not be able to get 4 of the elite players you'll have to decide who is most valuable between the slayers or objective players. I would say to go for the objective players since as the previous 2 lans have shown they have consistently placed higher than the players that stats show them to be slayers.
Top 5 IMO:
1. Ace (the kid is literally a fantasy machine who has carried both of my teams to round 2 and a victory in round 2)
2. Heinz (first lan BTH played very well and I expect them to continue to do show with Heinz being the best fantasy player on the team)
3. Roy (I believe Instinct will play much better this lan, and Roy has the best shot of raking in those points for your team)
4. Cloud (If he can perform at lans like he does at tournaments, most notably Orlando '10, he should no doubt be a top fantasy player)
5. Pistola (I may be a little bias being an FB fan, but I just had to throw a FB player in the top 5, and Pistola racks up a crazy amount of points.)
You could change out 4 and 5 with really any player off of FB, BTH, or Instinct as all of the players on those teams are ridiculously good. Also, if TD continues to consistently win as they started at the last 6 team tourney players such as Hysteria and Totz both are terrific fantasy pick ups.
Edit: Can't forget about SQ, even though they are not at this upcoming 6 team lan they should be considered around the 4 or 5 slot. Enable would be the 2nd player of SQ to take after Ace imo, with Flamesword being a close third.
