Special Cards

Special Cards for special coaches.

It is important to note that only TWO special cards can be used per round for Classic competition teams. This restriction is lifted in the Champion competition.

In Season 2024, GameDay Squad are exited to be bringing Special Cards to the platform. Special Cards include: Seasonal Prize cards, All-Star cards, cards to celebrate special occasions and more. Each Special Card will have a different salary cap hit that will be communicated at the time of release.

Release 1:

2024 Prize Cards The first set of special cards to be introduced into the GameDay Squad Aussie Rules fantasy sports platform are the seasonal prize cards. These player cards enter the GameDay Squad platform through being awarded to coaches who finished in the top 10 of each competition (Classic and Champion competitions). These cards have a $600k salary cap hit with a 1.4x multiplier in regular seasonal competitions. Coaches who finish in the top 10 will choose the player they want as their prize card. Only one player is allowed to be select per season. Players are selected and determined starting with the winner of the Champion competition all the way to the coach who finished 10th in the Classic competition. Once a player is selected, that player will no longer be able to be selected until the 2024 Prize Card selection process. For example, if Nick Daicos is selected by the coach who finished first in the Champion competition, no other user who finished top 10 in either the Champion or Classic competition will be able to select Nick Daicos. GameDay Squad will be in contact with users who finished in the top 10 for both competitions at the completion of the 2024 GameDay Squad Aussie Rules season. It's important to note that prize cards can be bought, sold and traded on the GameDay Squad Transfer Market, however the artwork will never change, the winners team name, position on the ladder and season won will always be visible on the prize card.

The 2024 Prize Cards (And any further iteration of prize cards) will be subject to position changes if applicable. GameDay Squad reviews positions annually and subsequent changes will be made if the player is deemed to have warranted a position change fro the previous season.

2023 GameDay Squad Aussie Rules All-Star Player Squads The second set of special cards to be introduced into the GameDay Squad Aussie Rules fantasy sports platform are the special edition All-Star player cards. These player cards enter the GameDay Squad platform through regular GameDay Squad player card packs available on the GameDay Squad Aussie Rules store! These cards have a $700k salary cap hit with a 1.35x multiplier in seasonal competitions. GameDay Squad will select a full team made up of the best performing 22 players from the 2023 season! Players will follow regular positional rulings meaning that 6 defenders (1 bench), 5 midfielders (1 bench), 1 ruck (1 bench) and 6 forwards (1 bench) will be selected using multiple criteria's such as games played, season average, and total points to determine the 22 players selected. Each player selected will have 20 player cards allocated, making each card a "X"/20. Once the 2023 All-Star cards are exhausted from packs, they will no longer be available (these cards are tradable and purchasable on the Transfer Market if listed) so get in while you can and happy hunting! Coaches will be able to use 1 x All-Star card per squad in the Classic Competition and the Champion Competition will have no limitations.
