This challenge should be easy for a Coach of your expertise

 

[Jiska]

I agree with this ....live bench's as important as high scoring on-field players

DPP's now important

DPP is always more important than getting the best scorer, right Ingy?

Time to load up on pies players. They play Freo, Swans, Crows and Dees over those 4 weeks.

Pies play Freo on 2/8 and Melb on 15/8. That's four games on a short period of time. Probably rest players for at least one game. Treloar, Moore, Billy, hate to think Grundy if playing sore.

Travel from W.A > QLD > S.A > QLD could play a part.

No subscription for a SuperCoach addict? Wow.

Here....

KFC SuperCoaches will be given an extra four trades in coming rounds to help navigate a period of 33 AFL matches in 20 days.
The SuperCoach trade limit of 30 will be increased to 34, with an extra trade (three per round) available for coaches to use from rounds 9-12.

This decision has been made after AFL coaches flagged the likelihood players will be rested during a period were some clubs will face four-day turnarounds between matches.

As previously announced when the Round 3 game between Essendon and Melbourne was postponed, any round which features less than nine fixtures will revert to best 18 scoring.

This will impact rounds 10 (Fremantle, West Coast, Carlton and Hawthorn bye) and 11 (Sydney and GWS Giants bye).

KFC SuperCoaches will also have three trades to use in rounds 9 and 12 to ensure they have the best chance of fielding a full line-up.

The best 18 scoring system will not be used in these two rounds.

Rounds 8 will proceed as normal in KFC SuperCoach with scoring based on 22 on-field players and emergencies when required.


Further KFC SuperCoach changes will be announced, if required, once fixtures for rounds 13-18 are available.

While we are aware the AFL has mooted an 18th round will required to complete this year’s fixture, no decision has been made on an increase in overall trades to accommodate this.

However, this could change should the AFL confirm an 18th round will take place.

We have pledged to be agile and adapt should changes be required due to the AFL fixture and will make relevant announcements as needed.

Melbourne and Essendon’s Round 3 match is now expected to be played in a future round and will be scored accordingly in KFC SuperCoach.

The fast turnaround between rounds will result in changes to KFC SuperCoach’s draft format.

Players will be released from the waiver wire at 4am the next morning after the last match of each round, giving coaches a chance to make changes before the next round starts.

This will apply for all leagues, regardless of whether the one or two-day waiver option was selected, and will start after Round 8.

Lockout for each round is expected to be lifted 60-90 minutes after the final siren of the last game.

Prize money for KFC SuperCoach will remain unchanged.

 

[Mullarkey]

So we end up with 3 bye scoring rounds this year... **** the byes

 

[Silky23]

Assuming rolling lockout still then. Yikes, gonna make it hard to foresee trades later in the round.

 

[Jiska]

So we end up with 3 bye scoring rounds this year... fu** the byes

But there will still be 10 teams that haven't had their bye, who will have theirs on Rd's 13, 14, 15 (16 and 17 will be full-rounds)

That would mean that we would get a further 3 trades for those 3 rounds (for a total of 37)

 

[Andrew Birch]

Too many ******* bye rounds...

Correction, most likely 6 bye rounds.

Rd's 3, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15

[ForeverHardcore]

4 extra trades is huge
Keen to see the next round of bye fixtures as right now it’s impossible to guage the best people to bring in

Whoever wins supercoach this year has fully earned it. Yes there will be luck but it’s going to be a huge effort!

 

[Andrew Birch]

The best part about all these extra trades is I don't have to worry about my D8, M11, R3 & F8 perma-donuts anymore.

 

[mochacinolatte]

hahahah, goodluck navigating the byes. If you manage to get aheqd you deserve it

 

[Dark Sharks]

How do you even play this game anymore?
