It’s time to organise your league, dust off the championship trophy, breathe fire into old rivalries and plan your Draft party because SuperCoach Draft as you know it has changed this year.

We’ve heard your feedback and now we’re happy to tell that after 18 months of planning, preparation and implementation, SuperCoach Draft will have a better look and feel in 2020.

We haven’t just decided to iterate the product, but rather we’ve rebuilt the entire Draft platform from scratch and taken on direct user feedback via research days to drive these updates.

That means, we’ve listened to you, the fans, and applied what you wanted into the new product which will continue to evolve in stages throughout the coming years.

Here are some specifics:

A CLEANER LAYOUT

User experience and navigation is everything when it comes to platform usability. We’ve gone ahead and cleaned up the design to align with the Classic platform of SuperCoach to make your engagement with SuperCoach quicker, easier and more enjoyable. This includes an enhanced interface and a more intuitive navigation. We’ve even updated the field view.

SETTING UP YOUR LEAGUE

Commissioners will be in control of how often teams will play their opponents in a season. Whether that be once, twice or four times – it’s totally up to you.

LIVE DRAFT

The key to a great draft day experience is the ease and integration a user has with the platform. In 2020, we’ve implemented brand new live draft designs including better visualisation of pick by pick analysis and player statistics. You’ll also be able to easily navigate through your current selections, upcoming picks as well as the selections of your opponents.

TRADING

Trading is what makes SuperCoach Draft great, but unless the trading is easy to access, navigate to and the experience is simplistic, it won’t help your season. In 2020, we’ve upgraded the trading element to align more closely with how you make trades in Classic. For mobile users, we’ve made it much easier for you to sort, scroll and filter statistics and selections.

THE WAIVER WIRE

Draft day is important, trading too – but glory is won from the waiver wire. This important part of the experience has been reshaped to help you better make decisions on free agent acquisitions.

GAME DAY

Track your team’s progress each round in our new-look game lobby. It’s here where you’ll be able to view of your match-ups in one place, across different drafts you compete in. Got a grudge match on? Great! We’ve even made the decision to utilise a widescreen approach so you can follow a specific match-up from the lobby page.

FINALS

Finally, commissioners will have the ability to select the number of teams that compete in the final series. Gone are the days of having a 10-team league where the top-8 automatically go through to finals. Now, you’ll be able to customise your finals set up.

CONTENT

Coming in 2020, Fox Footy have devised a team of SuperCoach Draft experts to bring you daily content this season. Covering off everything from how-to guides and advice for beginners to draft rankings and strategies as well as deep dive player analysis for the hardcore Draft fans, there’s never been a better time to get involved in SuperCoach Draft. You’ll even have the chance to win your way into a draft league with the experts at Fox Footy and The Draft Doctors and of course our friend The Phantom. Throughout the season, utilise our round-by-round Draft bible to make the most of the waiver wire and seek trade advice each week with our experts.

IMPORTANT DATES

JANUARY 22 – Commissioners will have the ability to create/organise/join leagues, re-create keeper leagues and begin setting pre-draft rankings.

MID-FEBRUARY – Live Drafts, trading and waiver wire pick-ups will commence.

Stay tuned tomorrow for the Commissioners guide to SuperCoach AFL Draft, as well as other introductory articles this week to help you get ready for Draft this season.
