Where do I go to set the draft order on AFL fantasy elite? Pls help.

released 30 mins prior to the draft

 

[BradBert]

No lads, we already came up with the order - surely I can set the order like last year? FanHub are craptacular.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

id go danger...captain choice in your fwd line is huge

just cause he is so much better than every other bloody forward...

 

[BradBert]

Or do you mean I can set the order 30 minutes prior to the draft? We already worked out who gets no1, 2, 3, etc.

 

[Rise_up_Stiffy]

pick 3...afl fantasy...pendles or danger....one of the hardest choices I have ever had to make

 

[Big_Luch]

nope because there are heaps of mids to choose from, only a couple really super premium fwds. There will be heaps of quality mids in the second round and third round

Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows an application or web page that shows a players B/E before the start of the season.
I'm planning to pick players who are under priced and something like that would deffintly help.
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

There is no such thing, the formula is:

Starting price = last seasons average * Magic Number

So basically, the higher the price the higher the breakeven at the start of the year.

OK, so excuse me for my ignorance, but how do they price injured players, or players that missed half the season?

I think it's still the average, though I am not sure 100% sure.

This question may have been asked but can't find it. In AFL Fantasy will players gain positions during the season if they are playing in a different role? i.e Deledio is a Midfielder, plays half back, is he eligible for Back status (Like in Ultimate Footy?) I'm sure I read somewhere this was happening but i'm seeking clarification.

No they don't unless they made a proper stuff up with the player's position like they did with Blicavs last year.

 

[CJApples87]

I think it's still the average, though I am not sure 100% sure.

Players who didn't played a certain amount of games the year before (I believe the number is 10 but not entirely sure) are given discounts on the price based off their average. The less games they played under the number, the higher the discount is.

Obviously this is still relative to their price, because you can't have someone who played 1 game and scored 20 have a discount of 50% because then they'd be priced well below the minimum.

Dane Swan 4.00

The website is awful today!

I want to put my team together. I Can't login on Firefox or Safari. I'm auto-logged in on Chrome but cannot save anything because the website keeps crashing. And the iOS app keeps timing out!

Is it just having a bad day today, or is this a regular thing?

 

[akkaps]

Anyone have the official formulas for the starting prices for either AFL Fantasty or VSDT?
I have the basic formula = MN * last seasons average
But what are the formulas for returning players, rookies, and players with less games.

Having the same issues - trying to finalise our league for our Elite draft tomorrow and the site is a mess.

 

[CJApples87]

Where the hell is the league code when you go in to the About information? How on earth are you supposed to invite people to a league when it doesn't show you the code and the sharing button only shares a link of AFL Fantasty itself?

Complete and utter balls up.

When do price rises begin...ive heard rd2 and then rd3. Is it after 2 or 3 games?

Also, is it a rolling lockout after each game in rd1? Does the captains loophole come into play in rd1?

Lastly, is it your best 18 scores from rd1 that count only?

 

[Yellow Feathers]

How are everyone's teams going? Finalised yet?

I think I'm set, pending teams released for bench spots.

I believe that it does start at round 2. But will still use a three game rolling average. Don't how that will work in round 2, they may use last seasons average as the first score.

I assumed the rolling lockout still exists. It hasn't change for a dew years.

It's the best 18. With the emergencies replacing donuts on the field.

 

[nameless]

Is there anywhere to get information on which teams are easiest/hardest to score against?

Or is this just all prospectus stuff that you'll have to pay for?

Hmm ok, so last years av plus round 1 score for a price rise in rd2?

But is rolling lockout for rd1 after each of the 9 games, or only after the coll v freo game then locked for the round?

 

[CJApples87]

Last year it was rolling lockout until the Friday night game of the second week. I assume it will be the same.

There will be a lockout for the first weekend, and it shod open back up on Monday. It's just that next weeks players will not be locked for next week. And you cannot bring players in next week that played this week.
