AFL Keepers

AFL is a 7-player keeper league. Each franchise picks 7 players to retain into the new season; the rest are released back into the draft pool.

Declare your 7 in the Keeper Planner

Keepers are managed in your team's Keeper Planner β€” a drag-the-line scratchpad that auto-saves as you sort your roster into the 7 you're protecting versus everyone headed to the draft pool. When you're ready, the planner finalizes your keepers in one step.
