The ‘Real’ AFL Dream Team is now open

After parting ways as the providers of the official AFL fantasy game, Virtual Sports have released AFL Dream Team independently.

It’s basically the DT that people have played over the last few years. The major difference being limited trades – 30 trades rather than the two per week last year. Other than that, it has kept the same things that has made the game popular over the years.

The prizes are huge with $40,000 for the overall winner, $2,000 for second and $1,000 each for third through to tenth. The Eliminator is $2,500 and the weekly prize is $500. A new thing is the highest scoring league at the end of the year will share $3,600.

Here’s the information from the website:
