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:

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:

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.
