Those who played KFC SuperCoach NRL or AFL this year will know the basics.
In KFC SuperCoach BBL you start with a $2 million salary cap and need to select a team of 16 players.
They are spread across batting, bowling and wicketkeeping positions, although all-rounders (think Glenn Maxwell or Michael Neser) can be chosen as batsmen or bowlers.
That means you make the calls on some of the biggest stars in Australian and international cricket – but, don’t worry, we’ll be there to help you out.
KFC SuperCoach BBL is the ultimate way to get your SuperCoach fix in summer.
We have assembled a huge team of experts including back-to-back SuperCoach BBL winner Andrew Langley, world renowned cricket commentator Isa Guha, multiple top-100 finishers and, of course, KFC SuperCoach BBL ambassador Mr Cricket, Mike Hussey.

WHAT’S NEW
SUPER ROUND
With the reduction to a 40-match tournament, the competition will now operate over a 9-round season, kicking-off with a Super Round 1 featuring 7 matches — ahead of a 6-day break leading into Round 2. Super Round 1 features the Brisbane Heat playing three matches, with multiple other teams playing twice.
LEAGUE CHANGES
Default public and private head-to-head leagues will be reduced to 8 teams per league and start from Round 1 (you can continue to create custom leagues with 6-20 teams). Top-four Finals Series will take place in rounds 8 and 9.
NAVIGATION
We’ve completely redesigned the KFC SuperCoach navigation and menus – on both desktop and app – to simplify and speed up navigating around the site. No more opening of menu systems or digging through layers of navigation to get between screens, games and sports. Now it is all neatly laid-out and available across the top of the screen on desktop, and bottom of the screen on app, never requiring more than a click to get around sections within each game.
THEY’RE BACK
The great game-changing features from last season that make KFC SuperCoach the most versatile and advanced fantasy platform in the world are back: trade boosts for when you need that extra edge; the ability to update trades right through the round even if only your traded-in player is yet to play; intelligent auto-pick, the line-up optimiser and trade assist to help you manage your squad more effectively; customisable head-to-head leagues; and plenty more.
SC PLUS
SuperCoach Plus subscribers get some great new features and updates, including:
– Extended Trade Assist functionality. In addition to suggesting the best complete trades, subscribers can now initiate a trade by selecting which player they wish to trade out (or in). Trade Assist will then suggest the best trade-in (or out) option for that particular player!
– Updated live Coaches Choice data (most selected/traded/captained) that can be filtered by the top 1 per cent, top 5 per cent and top 10 per cent of teams, in addition to everyone playing. Available across the whole list, as well as players relevant to your team.
– Brand new filters to display available/unavailable players based on their scheduled bye rounds.
