Discussion 2025 Fantasy Pre-Season Planning Discussion

[happy_eagle]

Bolter already has the prices for all players fyi .

Same salary cap ?

Either way, Traders suggested that AFL Fantasy will open next week before Christmas

Yep, exactly the same, that way i can just copy paste my team over .

Keep an eye on Reef McInnes as a FWD bench option. Has made the shift to defence to train in the Murphy role. Could be the 2025 Comben if all goes well

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Sure, you go for it. Would love people to go for Green, he's great!

Scores coming down makes him even a worse selection. Why pay 99 priced at for 104 output when you can pay 80 priced at or lower for 100 output

2 things
1 Elijah Hewett would be a great option and what would his price be
2 when does fantasy open

I’m guessing it’s a smart move as a startup to get out there ahead of the established games.

Super Coach usually has an earlier version that you can play around with but I like to make up my own teams

I’m not going to play more than one. Too many conflicting emotions during matches - you want a guy to do well for one game and you want him to fail for the other. Some people out there play four games, maybe more. That would drive me crazy.

The magic number is 10280

No it’s not. Must be a typo.

46.3 x 0.7 = 32.4

32.4 x 10260 (Magic Number acc Maurice Mitchell )

~ 332/333k

I'd just copy 100% on both, prizes for both so why not.

I inly do SC and Fantasy, gave up on Bolter early on because it was too much to focus on three games

Near or just below the price of the number one pick.

And should open next week sometime

 

[Cm Perfect]

If they're smart they'll open it back end of next week when everyone's logging off work for the year and preparing for 2 weeks with the family/in-laws over Xmas/New Year.

Perfect time for maximum engagement as people focus on the important things in life - fitting all the essential midpricers and value premos into their 2025 Fantasy teams.

Just getting in some pre-season practice for when the game opens!

 

[FlowersByIrene]

Byes confirmed to be B18 but only 2 trades through the early rounds (even the 4 bye team week) and then 3 trades through all five middle bye weeks.

 

[1Bally1]

Does anyone have a list of all of the prices from using the magic number?

Bolter has the prices, plus it will open within the next week or so.

I think we've legitimately had this discussion every single season for the past 3 years. You say this every time.

The more discounted the mid priced guys are the more uniform teams would be. Take a look when Supercoach priced Coniglio at like 300,000 two years ago and he was about 600k in Fantasy. Every single Supercoach side had him, whereas it was only about 20% who took the punt in Fantasy.

If mid priced guys were cheaper teams would be identical.

I slightly agree with the goals point, but with the number of goals kicked from the midfield I don't think it would actually make the key forwards any more viable. I'd like to see extra points for contested marks though.

lol. yeah, it's my pet peeve about the game. Coniglio I don't think is the best example because he's been a premium before.

At the moment, the pool of potential players to choose from is about 5%. That's rookies, premiums and the extremely rare value player like Bailey Smith, Kiddy Coleman etc. 95% of the playing pool is ignored and that's why everyone's teams are near identical.

Players like Jake Lever, Zac Jones, Sam Taylor, Connor Idun, Sam Draper, Ben Hobbs, Will Hayward, Neal-Bullen etc. There's about 300 of these players that are automatically excluded from the game due to the pricing.

In no way, shape or form would teams be more similar if you increase the potential playing pool by 300 players. No way. If Neal-Bullen was 340k, are you taking him or Jagga Smith. It's tough. These sort of decisions would be faced with 300 players making all of the teams much more different.

Like why if Jake Lever was priced more than Jagga Smith? No-one would ever select Lever at his price. Make him cheap rookie priced and they may consider it.

Players are priced according to their average (with the exception of discounts).

So what you'd be ultimately suggesting is a different scoring model.
