Is your AFL Fantasy or SuperCoach season over - again?

Are you sitting outside the top 5K with me, just rolling trades each week and watching the bloke you traded out drop great scores in bye rounds? Thanks a lot, Trainor.

Were those plans of cruising off into the sunset in your brand-new car dashed once again for another year? Yeah… same here.

They say its not what you don't know that kills you, its what you know for sure that just ain't so that does the job.

Let me introduce you to a new comp — one that isn’t over after Round 0 just because you picked Perryman.

💡 What Is GameDay Squad?

GameDay Squad is like if FIFA Ultimate Team met AFL Fantasy… but better.

You:

Sign up
Get free bronze player cards
Use the Code BOBAFL for 3 free packs
Use salary cap to add higher-rarity players (silver, gold, unique, etc.)
Compete weekly for real cash and exclusive cards
use our guide to hack even more free cards

Unlike traditional fantasy formats, you own your cards forever. You can build a long-term dynasty or just go week-by-week stacking matchups for big wins.

GameDay Squad is different fantasy game now in its 4th year. Where we use player cards. It offers both weekly and seasonal competitions with better prizes than AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach combined.

There’s $100K in cash and packs up for grabs this season. The GDS community is thriving on Discord, full of legends who’ll give you better trade advice than any mainstream forum. There’s no reset button each year, and best of all — your season is never dead.

🧠 How to Play (And Win)

Start by building your team using bronze cards, then scout the market for undervalued players you think will go big. You’ll use multipliers based on card rarity — so a smart coach can outscore even a flashier squad. Stack your top-scoring players with your best cards, and play the matchup game.Weekly prizes are generous, and even if your season-long score isn’t perfect, one hot week could land you a big reward.

💬 Why I Back It

I’ve been playing GDS for 2.5 seasons now. I’ve won packs, placed in prize rounds, and built a team I’m genuinely proud of - all tracked in my team account profile below. The feedback, tools, content, and community far surpass anything you’ll find on the official AFL Fantasy site and this is still growing.

The best part, as players and community memebrs we get to have a say and help build and shape GDS for the better.

If you're frustrated with Fantasy or SuperCoach being “over” by mid-season, this is your second chance. If you’re new to fantasy footy entirely — this is one of the best places to start.
