SUPERCOACH, Australia's No.1 fantasy contest, is taking its game to another level in 2014.

Exciting new features make the game more fun while technological advances make it easier to play. And all the features you know and love are back for another massive season.

And one thing hasn't changed - SuperCoach is still the only fantasy game that reflects what really matters on the field, rewarding the players who help their team win, not for picking up cheap kicks in junk time.

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON - SUPERCOACH RETURNS ON JANUARY 30

The big rule changes introduced in 2013 will be in place again this year after getting a tick from you, including 30 trades, a "best 18" scoring system for the bye rounds and a rolling lockout every weekend of the season so you aren't caught out by late changes and the subs vest.

TOP PICKS: WHICH PLAYER FROM YOUR CLUB WILL BREAK OUT IN 2014?

And new for 2014:

REAL RIVALRIES - you don't have to be playing a mate in a private league to follow their score all weekend. Nominate a rival and taken them on head-to-head in any round or every round of the season.

PLAYER COMPARISONS - can't decide between Ryan Griffen and Steve Johnson? Tossing a coin between Lance Franklin and Dustin Martin? Load instant stats for both players side by side.

BADGES AND REWARDS - a new series of fun rewards will automatically be added to your page if you top score in your private league, go on a winning streak, create and fill a league and a dozen other categories.

DO YOU HAVE SUPERCOACH GOLD OR A HERALD SUN DIGITAL PASS? START PICKING YOUR 2014 SUPERCOACH SQUAD NOW

PLAYER CARDS - Mini profiles of every player available anywhere that player is listed on the SuperCoach site. Everything you need to know in one easy-to-use tool.

BANTER JUST GOT BIGGER - Add Twitter and Facebook feeds to your private league chat to play mind games with your mates anywhere, any time, and invite some of the biggest names in footy into the conversation.

SUPERCOACH DRAFT REVAMP - The draft game, in which each player can only be picked once in a unique league draft, is getting a huge upgrade to make trading easier - including multi-player trades - and adding increased flexibility in squad sizes, the ability to suspend play during the byes and to enter up to three leagues on one account.

FREE MOBILE APP - the SuperCoach app on iPhone and Android is 100 per cent free in 2014, so your team is always in your pocket. For the first time the app will also include SuperCoach Draft and SuperTipping.

Improvements to the SuperCoach site will also make signing in easier so you can concentrate on what really matters - making the big coaching calls.

WHY SUPERCOACH IS NO. 1

SuperCoach is the only fantasy only game that uses exclusive Champion Data ranking points to provide scores. Champion Data's unique formula is refined every year to reward players for the actions that make a real difference on the field. So stats like contested possessions and goal assists score highly while an uncontested mark when the game is over earns less points. And, like a real AFL coach, you'll be cursing your players who make a bad turnover instead of cheering another cheap stat.

That's why SuperCoach is Australia's No.1 fantasy game by a clear margin year after year, and the game of choice for serious footy fans.

Don't hate this idea. Maybe we could go Jay or Dimma or any of the other previous winners.

Could be handy to follow our grandslam games if we do that again. And making other tournaments.

Multi-player trades is great, really needed this last year. Should ensure more trades are made in draft leagues this year.

Have to ingest the info, but having to pay for live stats is disappointing. I already pay for Gold.

Live stats is what all of as want.

Yes, that is actually pretty disappointing. I'm now re-considering renewing my SC Gold Membership. =/

On a better note...I like this change:
FREE MOBILE APP - the SuperCoach app on iPhone and Android is 100 per cent free in 2014, so your team is always in your pocket. For the first time the app will also include SuperCoach Draft and SuperTipping.
Paid for the app this year, and those stupid Ads were still there! At least its a free app this year, so I don't care now. Haha

For those who want to keep a record of their 2013 SuperCoach ranking for medal and high league allocation, please ensure you get a print screen before the Herald Sun releases the data.

SuperCoach opens on 30 January 2014 and thus you can expect them to shortly delete the 2013 data.

Given Phil's past record I think I will put him down for that. He's never actually won the whole thing but been right in the mix a number of years to make me consider he someone to take real notice of.

Any time he posts anything I read with great interest.

A free app is always good, just makes it more likely to be addicted even more to it on weekends for late sub changes if a player pulls out etc

I am harking back to my own post, however.. this is bull****, free live stats is now very much a given across all forms of sport. I play EPL, NBL, ALF fantasy most things. Get your act together SC, use it or lose it.
