What's different in AFL Gameday from AFL Fantasy?
Kicks:
Kicks are one of the most valuable stats in AFL Fantasy, in the AFL Gameday scoring system they increase that, earning 4 points each. Players who consistently choose the boot over the hand are key to your fantasy team. Midfielders and rebounding defenders, known for high kick counts, rack up points week after week.
Goals:
Goals are where the excitement really amplifies. Each goal is worth a whopping 8 points,
making key forwards and goal-kicking midfielders incredibly impactful. This scoring system breathes new life into forwards, whose scoring prowess can swing weekly matchups in your favor. you thought celebrating a +12 was fun? try +14. It also adds strategic depth when selecting players— do you gamble on a big-scoring forward with a soft match up?
Tackles and Marks:
Points for tackles (4) and marks (3) remain the same as AFL fantasy. But crucially in AFL Gameday that kick is 4+ so a kick mark is a juicy +7. this really increases defenders value.
Penalty for Errors:
The deduction of -2 points for "Free Kick Against" in AFL Gameday scoring reduces the harm when your big ruck goes around belting blokes and the +2 from getting belted makes it so much sweeter when the team let him kick it. +6 anyone?
Strategies to Maximize Points
Focus on Kickers: Half-backs and Midfielders who love the boot are godsends and can deliver massive scores.
