We’ll show you how to assemble a gun KFC SuperCoach NRL team in just a few minutes.
1. First step is to register which you can do here:
2. Once you’ve signed up it’s time to pick your team, and you’ll want to start with some cheapies! These are the most important players in any KFC SuperCoach side as they start at bottom dollar and make money for your team. You’ll want about 10 cheapies in your side in a variety of different positions, but especially at CTW given these guys are typically among the biggest money makers. The most popular cheapie prospects so far this year are:
Lachlan Ilias
Joseph Suaalii
Chris Randall
Izack Tago
Will Penisini
Tepai Moeroa
Talatau Amone
Ethan Bullemor
Jack Howarth
Blake Taaffe
Tolutau Koula
Max King
George Burgess
Brendan Paikura
Isaiah Tass
Ezra Mam
Xavier Savage
3. PICK your guns. These are generally the most expensive players in each position. You’ll hold most of these players for the entire season, so choose carefully. You can fit approx. 8-10 under the salary cap. The most popular players in this category are:
Payne Haas
Ryan Papenhuyzen
James Tedesco
David Fifita
Angus Crichton
Nathan Cleary
Shaun Johnson
Tom Trbojevic
Isaiah Papali’i
Damien Cook
4. BY now you should have approx. 18-20 guns and cheapies in your side. Fill the remaining slots with mid-rangers. The best and most popular players in this category are:
Xavier Coates
Jackson Hastings
Selwyn Cobbo
Luke Keary
Euan Aitken
Tevita Pangai
Jai Arrow
Tyrell Sloan
Jason Taumalolo
Zac Lomax
Addin Fonua-Blake
Kurt Mann
Kelma Tualagi
5. PICK a starting team of 13 and four reserves. Ideally you want to start as many Guns and Mid-rangers as possible. Only the scores of these 17 players count for each round (although it’s important most of your eight non-players still take the field for their clubs so they go up in price, even though their scores don’t count to your points total)
6. USE your 42 trades (two per round) to build your side into a SuperCoach powerhouse.
7. READ our in-depth KFC SuperCoach NRL analysis to help you make the right decisions.
Easy!
Now good luck for the season ahead and have fun!
