An AFL Fantasy Coach alternative for your private league
Fantasy League Lens is an alternative to AFL Fantasy's Fantasy Coach subscription for one job: ownership, rival trades and each rival's remaining salary inside your own private AFL Fantasy league. Fantasy Coach is the official stats and projections add-on; Fantasy League Lens is the league-level view, with no subscription.
What Fantasy Coach does
Fantasy Coach is AFL Fantasy's own paid add-on. AFL Fantasy's help centre describes it as premium stats, projections and analysis, including price and score projections and deeper performance metrics. It costs $6.49 a month or $24.99 a year, and from 2026 the subscription also covers AFLW Fantasy.
Where Fantasy League Lens is different
Fantasy Coach is built around players: how they score, what they will cost and what they are projected to do. Fantasy League Lens is built around your league: what each of your rivals owns, what they have traded and how much salary they have left. In a head-to-head league that is the information that decides your next match, and in a ranked league it shows where the teams above you can be caught.

Which one do you need?
If you want the official stats and projections for every player, that is Fantasy Coach's job. If you want to see your own league the way your rivals' teams actually stand (who owns what, every trade they have made and the salary they have left), that is what Fantasy League Lens is for. They answer different questions, so many coaches will want both. Fantasy League Lens's free tier covers ownership and the full rival trade history for one league.
How Fantasy League Lens works
- Add the Capture league bookmark once (desktop, iPhone Safari or Android Chrome).
- After lockout, open your private AFL Fantasy league and click it.
- Load the file into Fantasy League Lens. Every later round adds to your rivals' trade history.
It never asks for your AFL Fantasy login details, nothing is posted to your league, and your captures are not shared or pooled. See AFL Fantasy league tools for the full feature list.
