App Profile: Slyder

Welcome to Slyder — an accessible, multi-use AFL fantasy draft platform by Magic Sports and home of Slyder Survivor.

Slyder enables you to play alone or with your friends, drafting on a highly customised draft platform, offering enhanced functionality and minimalist user experience. We’re more than just a place to play single season or keeper leagues amongst your friends. We’re a one stop shop for all fantasy drafters.





Whether that’s with platforms you know and love, all-new gameplay options, or platform-agnostic resources, we’re really excited to be rolling out something different for the draft community.


FREE AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL


Our platform is completely free for you to create, join and customise your draft league. Save your league’s money for your overall kitty or the end of season function (or the 24 cheeseburgers for the wooden spooner…).





We have tried to pack as much as we can into our platform to give your league the best draft experience possible. However, we aim to constantly evolve the platform and want to continue to add features that our users and their leagues want.


SURVIVOR
Outfoxed your mates? Now outlast the field. Play to become AFL draft world champion. Want to play draft but don’t have a league? It’s a hybrid between Draft and Classic - enjoy the thrill of drafting and owning a unique team as you do in Draft, but, in this free to enter competition, you get to take on the world and compete for an overall prize as you do in Classic.


BESTBALL
Taking the stress out of squad management. Best Ball automatically allocates the optimal lineup for each team every round based on fantasy scores. No need to set your team each week, worry about a low score on field or decide between which player to field, Best Ball takes the stress out of the weekly running of your draft fantasy team.


THE LIVE DRAFT
We’ve improved the live draft to give coaches a mixture of new and nostalgic: the ability to draft with a familiar queue, list, as well as the addition of the draft board visualiser (below). Other functionality includes:



Commissioners now have the ability to start drafts earlier than scheduled

Pause live draft

Undo picks and fix any mistakes within the live draft

One-click share your draft results on social media


TRADING & TRANSACTIONS
We’ve worked hard on how we can improve the trading and waiver experience, including the following:



All-new editable RFA priority lists for IN and OUT (below)

Set waivers to clear the date and time you want for your league

Keeper leagues can trade future draft picks with players in a package deal or just by themselves

Compare FA pickup, delisting and trade impact with stat comparer


PLATFORM AGNOSTIC DRAFT TOOLS
Even if we’re not your primary platform of choice, we’re committed to bringing value to coaches in the form of a number of platform-agnostic resources.


MOCK DRAFTS
The Slyder Mock Draft Lobby is a key feature of the platform and is a great tool for all AFL fantasy drafters, allowing you to go against other coaches or our educated computers.


DRAFT INSIGHTS




Pre-season and in-season draft content to give coaches who Magic Up the edge over the competition. These include:
