5 GOOD REASONS TO PLAY AFL FANTASY
1. Great new prizes
There's $25,000 up for grabs for the overall winner of Fantasy Classic, along with a complete Toyota AFL Grand Final experience package. There's also $5000 on offer for second place and $1000 for third.
2. One click to regenerate your leagues
It's easier than ever to take on your mates in Fantasy. League commissioners can quickly recreate their leagues from 2014 and invite the same friends along with new players. Those who create and fill their Fantasy Classic league by March 2 receive a free AFL Live subscription for 2015.
3. $10 million to play with
Your salary cap remains at $10 million with 30 spots to be filled and the same mix as last year of defenders, midfielders, ruckmen and forwards. If you want Tom Rockliff, he's going to set you back a whopping $763,000. It's those quality players returning from injury (think Daniel Rich, Matthew Kreuzer, Nathan van Berlo) who look like the smart picks as you trial your team through the NAB Challenge.
4. Join unlimited leagues
Why limit yourself? Fantasy Classic allows you to play in as many leagues as you wish and to customise the size and structure of those leagues to your taste. Do you want to play finals, battle it out in a quick 10-week season or ditch the head-to-head games and hand over the trophy to the overall top scorer. The choice is yours.
5. Play AFL Fantasy your way
All three Fantasy games are back for 2015 - there's Fantasy Classic where everyone can pick Gary Ablett, Fantasy Elite, the popular draft-based game for the hardcore players, and Fantasy Match Day where you can quickly pick the top seven players on the park for a specific game. One sign-up gets you access to all three games.
