I've never tried this fantasy football game but I thought it might be fun. However on looking at the version connected to the AFL site i concluded that it was just too much like hard work and probably no fun at all. Does anyone know of a simpler, more straightforward version? Any advice would be appreciated.

| I like to play with the Lego football set. It's quite simplistic and a lot of fun! |

My advice....buy a Sherrin, take it up the park and kick it.  |

If you’re talking SuperCoach, AFL fantasy etc…. They all have an element of complication to them and that’s the reason why people play it!
It takes forever to put a team together in the preseason and then a few hours each week during the season deciding on trades, tracking injuries, understanding player break evens etc etc!
If it was easy, no one would play and there wouldn’t be $50k up for grabs for the winner.
Fantasy sports is actually becoming a career for many people, specifically with the NBA and NFL.

I really miss the FOOTYSX.com.au ( Footy stock exchange ) . The last time they ran it was back in 2010. I came about 191 st out of about 900 players in the regular season , but won the finals when Collingwood had to play the grand final twice and you could bet on both games It was a great fantasy footy site only playing for bragging rights and not money.I have never done the fantasy footy since.

Yes. That's why I'm not interested in it. I'm just looking for a bit of fun and trying not to take myself too seriously.

That sounds like what I want! Thank you. I'll have a look for it or something similar. Much appreciated.

No worries. It is a pity the Footysx is gone but there will be something else out there. Good luck.
