While we are waiting for AFL Fantasy Classic to open in January, our friend Chad at www.dtlive.com.au has got the 2017 version of his popular team picker, the Drawing Board, opened for coaches to start building their teams.
The prices are being revealed every couple of days via AFL.com.au – with some great little articles with our hot tips to read – but all of the information around how prices have been calculated are now public. A quick recap on how prices are calculated.
- $11,000,000 salary cap has been confirmed.
- Players are priced based on their output last year. eg. 2016 average x magic number (approx 6036 for 2017).
- Essendon players receive a discount of 10% on their 2015 average.
- Players who missed a full season receive a discount of 30% on their 2015 average.
- Players who have missed two or more seasons received a discount of 35% on their last available average.
- Players playing less than 10 games receive a 3% discount on each game under 10. eg. Play 5 games in 2016, then they receive a 15% discount. This is applied to the higher of their season average from the last two years.
- Dayne Beams and Nat Fyfe qualified for a discount due to minimal games played, but they have not received a discount.
