S10 Ep 10PREMIUMS: SuperCoach guns for season 2025!

Let's talk premiums - the big names who cost big bucks and bring in most of our SuperCoach points. At least, that's the plan. Who can we trust as a safe investment in 2025 and who has the alarm bells ringing as pre-season heats up? Al Paton and Dos are joined by special guests SuperCoach Horse from the Insight Fantasy Sports podcast and Heff from The Keeper League podcast to rate the best premos in SuperCoach 2025.

S10 Ep 9CHEAPIES: Bargains under $300K!

Unfortunately, we can't pick a full squad of premium players in SuperCoach, but the art of balancing our sides with the best big guns, mid-price players, and CHEAPIES is the path to a successful season! We know that the cheapest players in SuperCoach are often the rookies fresh from the draft, but what about the other guys? Players who are cheap as chips based on injuries, poor form, or just being in Bevo's dog house can provide the ultimate value for a big breakout or bounce back season!  Al Paton, Dan Batten, and Dos from the Official SuperCoach Podcast are joined by The Footy Mailbag's Damo to discuss their favourite SuperCoach non-rookie cheapies under $300K in 2025!

S10 Ep 8MID-PRICE MADNESS: Early thoughts on SuperCoach value picks!

Mid-price madness is back! Finding a bargain who scores like a top-dollar premium is one of the best feelings in SuperCoach - and there are more mid-price options in 2025 than in any year we can remember. A lot more mid-price picks blow up than become season-long keepers - but if you nail them it can give you a huge advantage on the competition. So, who will be the Elliot Yeo of 2025?Al Paton, Dos and Chloe Williams are joined by MJ from the Coaches Panel to name their favourite players in the $300k-$500k minefield and sort the mid-price contenders from the pretenders.

S10 Ep 4FLEX IS HERE: SuperCoach AFL 2025 rule change explained!

The Official SuperCoach AFL Podcast exclusively reveals and explains the brand new FLEX position!To bring Australia’s biggest and best fantasy game into a new era, SuperCoach will have an exciting new look from 2025 with the addition of a brand new position. In this episode, Al Paton, The Phantom, Patch, and Dos break down the brand new rule change that unlocks all-new strategies to explore while bidding farewell to surprise sub or injury-affected scores of yesteryear. The Flex player will expand squads to 31, and coaches will pick 23 players to start on field each round, up from 22. Crucially, weekly totals will be made up of the best scoring 22 of your 23 on-field players - effectively dropping the lowest score each round.The crew also discuss which players have caught their eye so far this pre-season and who they will be picking first the moment that Team Picker opens (stay tuned)!FLEX QUESTIONS ANSWEREDIs the salary cap increasing?No, the salary cap will remain at $10 million. But player prices will be adjusted across the board to allow for an extra player being selected in 31-man squads. So, for example, a player who would have previously been priced at $600,000 to start the season will be closer to $580,000 in 2025. The adjustments will occur across all price categories and will be relative (smaller for players at the cheaper end of the scale). Keep an eye out for $99k rookies! Can the Flex player be nominated as captain or vice-captain?Yes. The Flex player is treated the same as anyone else in your starting line-up and can be traded, substituted (with another player in the corresponding position or via DPP) or named C or VC. One factor to keep in mind - there is no emergency cover for your selected Flex player. If they don't play, the zero score will drop out of your total for the week but there will be no cover from the bench. How does best 22 scoring work and are emergencies included?Each round, you’ll score from your best 22 players only in any position, from your selected, on-field Starting 23 (including your Flex player selection). You’ll still need to ensure that your best available players are in your starting line-up. Select up to four Emergencies across the DEF, MID, RUC and FWD positions. Emergencies will continue to replace non-starting players in your starting line-up, in the same position (including any ‘bye’ player that you may have left in your starting line-up) and their score will only count if it is in your Best 22. What happens if my captain isn't in my best 22?If your captain’s doubled score is NOT in your Best 22 scores for the round, then their points will not count - you simply get your Best 22 scores only. Similarly, if your captain’s doubled-score is NOT in your best 22 scores, you do NOT automatically receive double points from your vice captain - your vice Captain only receives double points if your captain does not play for any reason. CHAPTERS:Flex position explained (01:15)FAQs: best 22, salary cap, bench, captain/vice captain (04:00)Flex strategy discussion and thoughts (08:40)Track watch thoughts (22:30)First three players we will pick (35:00) Hosts:Al Paton: @al_superfooty /XThe Phantom: @ThePhantomSC /XPatch: @PatchToTheMax /XDos: @HKDos /XProduced by Haydn Kenny.Recorded on Tuesday 10th December, 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
