FFGenie

FFGenie is a Java-based sports simulator that gives you the possibility to view, filter and sort sports players based on various statistical data. You can use it to simulate fantasy competitions with AFL players selected from a built-in database.

Provided that you have Java installed on your PC, you don't need to set up anything else. This means that you can save the program files in any part of the disk and just click the executable Jar file to launch FFGenie.

It's also possible to save it to a USB storage device to directly launch it on any PC with minimum effort. More importantly, it doesn't add new entries to the Windows registry.

Once the app is launched, you can start a new file by choosing the game type between Virtualsports Real Dream Team and Super Coach. Afterward, FFGenie immediately loads the database with available players, and you can check out their information.

This includes the rank number, play order and number, ID, last name, team, positions, number of selections and selection change, current value, last and total change value, change percentage, number of breaks, break percentage, and so on.

The program lets you apply a quick filter by name, team or position, create a list of filters to match (any or all), update the last round by gathering scrape from the VS website, and trade players using a simple wizard.

Teams can be edited in detail, including name, type (e.g. free form, website login), game type (Virtualsports Real Dream Team and Super Coach), round weekly score, overall score, weekly rank, team value, and more.

Statistics can be exported to the Clipboard, FFGenie stats file (.ffs format) or FFgenie stats zipped file (.ffz format). Plus, you can save the current session to a FFGenie user file (.ffu format) and resume it later. The utility also implements a feature that permits you to update multiple teams in bulk.

The app left a small footprint on system resources in our tests. However, it prompted several error dialogs on several occasions while we were tinkering with settings. Nevertheless, you can test FFGenie for yourself if you're looking for a straightforward sports simulator, especially when taking into account that it's free.
