SuperCoach Gold/SuperCoach PRO

[SJ]

What is the difference here?

You click the PRO button and all the info that comes up is about the Gold service.

 

[Gibbsy]

Bottom right and click more. All stuff about Pro.

$20 bucks for the full year of Gold plus access to pro and 2012 team lists - bargain imo.

Ah. Gold is the stats subscription, and PRO is the draft style game?

That's it. Gold looks insane, pro I'm not so fussed but if you sign up before March 22 you get it included, so I'll just take it as a bonus.

Does Gold seem to offer anything more than FF Genie?

I haven't used FF Genie but I'd probably just think that the ease of access would be a little easier as well as the fact that's it's official. Also there is some apparent "inside info" from the Herald Sun. Not too sure how much more they know than the rest of the BF community though. Either way I'll still be purchasing Gold.

I'm keen to play a Supercoach PRO live draft league with my mates - is this only available by subscribing for $20? If so, does EVERY player have to subscribe - or only the league administrator who can then invite people?

Pretty sure they'll have to pay $20 each.

Check out http://www.ultimatefooty.com if you're interested in a live draft league that's free to play.

Was this on it last year? How accurate was it?

 

[AssassinAndy]

Is Gold active as of now? Everytime I click on the subscription link or free trial tab all I get is a message saying the database is down for upgrades. Been like that for me since Supercoach opened.

Try www.fantasyfooty.net.au this competition does not have byes and is played troughout the entire 24 rouds.

And best of all, it's free and it's even more exciting with a private league where the league commissioner can make up the rules- trade deadline, free agents/player waiver, choice of captain/vice captain, finals system etc....

supercoach pro is $20 each so really it's $200 in admin fees. I like the draft style take on AFL fantasy, I did ultimate footy last year and that was real good with dream team scoring system I prefer the supercoach scoring system but noone else offers it for draft style leagues

American sports fantasy leagues are primarily draft style and it is far better in my opinion. Like the idea of nobody having the same player in a league.

Mind you, it would be difficult to not have donuts in a 33 man squad considering an AFL side can only field 22 players.

 

[dlanod]

I find draft-style lends itself to the bigger American leagues. To use NFL as an example, you can pick from 32 teams which means 32 starting QBs, 64-96 starting wide receivers, 32-48 starting running backs, etc. An AFL draft league would have to be limited to about eight teams or some custom structure with fewer positions on the field to be equivalent.

 

[LFC2010]

at the moment in my analyser, it says my projected team score is 1,748 with a max score 2,237. Are these scores with or without the rookie scores?

Agree. Last year I did it via Ultimatefooty.com.au and we had 12 teams $30 each, draft night at a pub and it was amazing. To make it fair the squad size was 5back, 5fwds, 5mids, 1ruck, 2 utilities. Worked well. Dream team stats but I prefer supercoach. I guess you cant have the best of both worlds

Mates and I have done very similar for nearly 10 years now. $100 in.

Draft night at pub (house post kids) is great.

Having your own player list is the best.

Hey guys just a heads up that http://www.ultimatefooty.com/ is now open for 2011. Still free to join and loads more options available than Supercoach/Dreamteam Pro if you're looking at starting a private draft-style league for mates.

Totally agree (obviously ). It's amazing how dominant the draft style format is in the states, whereas the salary cap format is almost non-existent. Considering the extra strategy involved I dare say the americans might be ahead of us in the fantasy sports department . They even have TV shows dedicated to discussing fantasy advice!

 

[xaviernut]

Signed up for supercoach pro and my life draft is set for noon friday. I've never played a draft style fantasy game like this before though...

Does anyone have any tips on how to get the most out of the live draft?? i.e. what positions to try and get the best players in first? and so on...

cheers

 

[bards]

I havent participated yet, but think that its gonna be best to try to grab a ruckman first, really, there is only a few worth having, I wouldnt want the 10th best ruckman....

Supercoach Pro league only lets you draft 22 players. 18 scoring positions and 1 sub in each position.

Supercoach Pro there's only 10 teams so only 220 players will be picked at any one time. Unlimited trades for the season however and trades are allowed between teams however if there are 4 vetoes from other teams the trade won't be passed.

 

[dlanod]

Sounds like they're copied NFL fantasy games almost verbatim, except for the large number of players as opposed to team DEFs. Would be interesting, but $$$ per person to play is a joke.

 

[malteaser]

I have for some reason started a league, here is the code

592476. Apparently I have no control when it starts however so you will have to choose your players just in case you can't be there when the draft is on.
