KFC SuperCoach 2021 early cheat sheet: Pick a team in 10 minutes

Too busy to play KFC SuperCoach? You’ve come to the right place.

Signing up to play Australia’s biggest and best fantasy game only takes a few minutes, but knowing who to pick in your team can be a daunting experience.

Clayton Oliver or Jack Macrae? Patrick Dangerfield or Steele Sidebottom? And who are all these cheapies I have never seen before?

Follow our tried and true formula below to set up a squad that you can tinker with over the pre-season — everyone has unlimited trades until Round 1, then 30 more for the rest of the season. And save this article for reference over the next two months.

If you need a squad in even quicker time, use the intelligent autopick feature to generate a team instantly using our technology based on your preferences.

Remember to hit “save” when you’re done — and join a league with your mates to share the fun.

Note that this list is just a sample of all the players available for selection, but we’ve picked the names you should be able to rely on to score well relative to their starting value in 2021. You’re allowed to pick anyone you like! (But we would recommend avoiding Tyson Goldsack, who is on Port Adelaide’s list but is only expected to play in the SANFL this year).

OK, let’s get started.

… then pick four rookies priced at $210,000 or under. Adelaide’s James Rowe and Brisbane’s Nakia Cockatoo are in most teams right now.

Hopefully you’ve now got a 30-man squad and some money left over. If that’s the case, you can go back and upgrade some of your players to more expensive options. More likely you will run out early especially if you pick the most expensive options in each position — downgrade some of those players to cheaper options to get 30 players under the $10 million salary cap. Then hit save.

You can keep making changes to this team right up to the first bounce f Carlton v Richmond on March 18 — and dont limit yourself to the players above. That should give you a compeititve side, but add your own flavour if you have players you like or you’ve got your own mail — or a hunch — they will be a good fantasy pick this year.

Now you’ve joined the KFC SuperCoach army, sign up your friends and check out more great content to help perfect your team for a huge 2021 season.
