Cash is king in SuperCoach.
The $10 million salary cap isn’t enough to fill your squad with A-grade stars, but you can get there by the end of the season.
How? By picking the right cheap players right now who will shoot up in value when they start playing AFL games.
These cash cows can contribute solid scores towards your weekly totals before being cashed in during the season – two good cash cows can become an extra gun midfielder, defender, forward or ruck if you play it right.
Sometimes cheapies are good enough to keep all season, like Harry Sheezel last year. And there are some prospects this year who could match the young Kangaroos star.
Cash cows are a mix of first-year draftees and experienced players who might be new to the AFL or are available at a hugely discounted price, often coming back from a long-term injury.
The 2024 cash cow crop is as strong as we’ve seen for years. With so many options, who should you start in your SuperCoach team? Here are my top 20 cheapies (priced under $210,000) based on likely scoring potential and job security.
