AFL Elite Recap
This league will be the AFL Fantasy Draft version.
There will be 16 players in the league with the Top 8 playing Finals at the end of the season.
The regular season will run from Rounds 2-19, with the last four rounds being Finals. Every team will play each other once during the regular season.
Please note we will not be playing the bye rounds between Rounds 12-14.
The Draft itself will be held on Monday 26/3/18 at 7pm EDT
Draft is Snake order which means players who have early picks in odd rounds will have late picks in even rounds.
The initial draft order is randomly created by the site once all 16 teams have registered.
The Formation for each team will be:
- 5 Defenders
- 7 Midfielders
- 1 Ruck
- 5 Forward
- 4 Interchange
No captains will be applicable in Draft version.
Emergencies will be turned on but will only cover missing players from the same position.
There are no rolling lockouts so be careful to set your emergency cover, specifically for the long rounds that have a Thursday or Monday game.
Restricted Free Agency is turned on.
This means when any participant delists one of his/her players, that player will be classified as a Restricted Free Agent for 24 hours after lockout finishes.
At this time anyone can bid on the player.
The winning bid will come from the participant who is the highest up the Restricted Free Agent ladder at that time.
Once you make a winning bid and receive your new player, you go to the bottom of the Restricted Free Agent ladder.
You will slowly work your way back up the order as others make winning bids.
The initial Restricted Free Agent Order is based on the initial 1st round
random draft positions.
If a player delisted by a participant does not have any bids in the 24 hours after lockout, they will then simply become an unrestricted free agent.
This means they are available for any participant to pick up and will not affect the Restricted Free Agent order.
Lastly, trading with other players is encouraged as is an enjoyable aspect of AFL Fantasy Draft.
To ensure no lop sided trades happen, they will all need to be commissioner approved by @dahmsy79 or @o07.
This will be done within 24 hours of the trade request being made.

Thanks for the shout out we do NRL and AFL Tipping on our page!
Will be all over that one for sure, and probably have the occasional nibble at NRL when I remember.
Welcome!
I've got an important question for you....
Does Rocky average over or under 100 points this season and why?
Under. Just. As much as it pains me to say it, Port have more quality around him so he doesn't have to do it all himself like he was at Brisbane.
I want to pick him as a Port supporter but I'm worried we may rest him when needed...
Not if he has still got that dodgy shoulder and plays forward all year again.
Plus he a traitor, leaving my lions lol I hope he does an ACL.
Given Port have so many forwards, surely he does play on the ball a lot so I think a 100+ average is a given as long as stays healthy.
This is the first time for me in the AFL site, I regesterd with my Facebook account, then asked to name a team...where I stopped there.
"it is now time to start registering your team on the AFL Fantasy site and into our official Steemit league!"
seems I need help to complete registration in the AFL site AND don't know where to put the code that you sent to me .
Hi @kulate
If you click on the classic page then choose leagues, followed by join a league.
This should then let you enter the league code into the next screen.
If you have any problems let us know so we can help further :)
This is the same process Elite Fantasy, just use the next tab and the second code.
Thanks for your help, I am now in
now trying to name the players for the Elite Fantasy draft
seems I need help from my 8 yrs boy :-)
or any hint will be welcomed
Have a look at @dahmsy79 page for some tips on who he recommends for the upcoming season :)
Thanks
Thanks
Welcome Kulate, A good tip for AFL Elite is to just auto fill your pre draft list initially as it will place them all in order of average. You can then scan the list to remove any injured players or ones you don't like.
Be wary some players can be ranked higher than they deserve due to having a high average but at same time, not being a lock for their teams best 22. Graham of Carlton and Kerridge to are examples of this. So you may need to do a little manual adjusting of player ranks here and there.
For the most part the auto fill will be the guide you need for the Live Draft.
Good luck and if you need any hints or tips, see my page or feel free to reply to this.
Thank you very much for the hint,
frankly I selected the players with the highest rank, now I will recheck it
thanks for your help.
Welcome @kulate. I hope you do well against everyone but me!
:-)
good luck to you too
