I'm thinking of playing RDT this year, can anyone explain the similarities and differences of how it scores compared to SC and AFL Fantasy? cheers.

Scored mostly the same as AFL fantasy, but players are priced differently (formula is different)



On a side note, NRL RDT open as well

Thanks Kenny, do the prices go up each week like in Fantasy?

Same as SuperCoach, price doesn’t go up until the 3rd game is played. Whereas AFL Fantasy prices go up as soon as

Will have a go again this season and can hopefully improve on my 1194 finish from last year.

AFL Fantasy is my least favourite out of the three, for a few reasons, how it’s set out, prices changing after playing one game and 2 trades every week, l love trading, but there should be a season limit

I also thought one of the fundamental scoring differences was that SC puts scoring weight on what players do with the ball ie effective kicking. Whereas Fantasy just recorded a kick as a kick with no difference whether it hit a target or not. Which was why SC scores for first and second year players are often lower because they often have not yet developed the ball skills.

Is the scoring not like that anymore? It often made some high possession, but low skilled players more valuable in Fantasy than SC.

Basically it just gives points for the actions and doesn't take into account impact or influence at all , so less subjective.

A premium mid like Laird & a first year player get 10 kicks they score the same points (in simple terms).

No grey areas

No 3300 points per game limit either , no scaling.

What you do , you get rewarded (or penalised) for it.

I think I’m right in saying that it’s basically SuperCoach (including the far superior platform), but with AFL Fantasy scoring.
