Need a KFC SuperCoach team in a hurry?

Have you been too distracted by the wild weather to pick a team? Or you want to get in on the banter (and have a shot at that $50,000 prize — plus extra KFC goodies) but just don’t have time right now to research every player in the league? Or have a friend who needs a bit of help to get up to speed?

You’ve come to the right place.

Follow the easy step-by-step guide below and you’ll have a team in minutes ready to vie for your league premiership.

If you know all about KFC SuperCoach, skip to the step-by-step guide below. If you’ve missed the buzz, SuperCoach is an online fantasy footy game that allows you to pick your own squad of AFL stars and compete against your friends, and thousands of other fans, as your players earn points based on their real-life performances.

You can pick a fun squad full of players you like, redheads, left-footers or footballers with the best tattoos or worst man buns. There are some nifty tools on the SuperCoach site to make it easy and give you a team to be reckoned with.

Here’s how to pick a competitive squad in less than two minutes.

1. Sign up for AFL SuperCoach for free at supercoach.com.au and go the ‘Edit My Team’ page

2. At the top of the page click on ‘Intelligent Auto-Fill’

3. Select your favourite AFL team

The intelligent auto-fill feature is easy to use.

4. Type in the names of any players you know you want in your team. Our tip is to start with these guys: Brodie Grundy, Max Gawn, Lachie Whitfield, Marlion Pickett and Sam Docherty. They are set to be the most popular selections in 2020 and will get you off to a flying start.

5. Hit ‘Select My Team’ — and the Intelligent Auto-Fill will create a team that will look something like this.

Ready to dominate.

6. Click ‘Save’ then use the substitute (‘S’) button to shuffle players around, making sure the cheapest guys in each position are on the bench.

7. You can leave it there, but a couple more minutes’ work will give you a much stronger team.

Filter out players you don’t want by hitting the ‘T’ button to trade them for someone else. It’s no use having players worth more than $150k on the bench, it’s just a waste of money. You also want to get rid of players you don’t think will get games. Consult our rookie bible for rookies we think are a good chance to play in Round 1.
