No. It's always been the view for projected scores (orange).  Showing the live scores (red font) and completed scores (green font) is a new feature.

The red 33 for Papenhuyzen is a live score, and a new feature. The orange 59 and 44 for Tedesco and Mann are their projected scores, which has always been a feature.

If you don't like that page, then you can always go to GAMEDAY to see the live scores of your players.

It's the same on SC.

Don't like the Gameday Live page when the Projections Tab (which is the default view) is switched to the 'on' position as it's a little bit too confusing as it shows three different numbers, last weeks scores (if they haven't already played), live scores and also the BE's all at the same time before the final game has started.

When the final game commences then it reverts to just showing live scores and the BE's which is fine.

Another element to consider for the Eliminator comp as well.
I think the amount of boost trades available is too many.
Would you like to see a boost trade feature in the NRL Fantasy game as well?

Not so much a trade boost for any given round, but NRL Fantasy from R20 onwards (Monday July 25th), have added four (4) more additional trades.

VSDT got a bug in the system I reckon - Herbie listed as three tries... This happened last year? when a penalty try got awarded for Dufty too if I remember correctly.

Anyone getting Cleary in this week?

No way

3 games before price rise = definitely giving him at least a week.

Couldn't possibly, even if I tried. Happy to wait anyway.

Out of curiosity, what happens in this format when one of your reserves doesn't play? I had Ponga in my my reserves, and, as with every single team that is not my main Fantasy team, I didn't check in on this team once through the weekend and therefore left him as a reserve. Do I get a 0, or does it bring in my lowest scorer? Had a horrid round, either way.

Funnily enough, if I'd actually looked at the fucking team when Ponga was ruled out, Nanai would have been the obvious choice of my remaining reserves. Stupid fucker.

When one of your reserves (or staring 13) doesn't play you'll get the lowest scoring AE above a negative score.

I seen a few on the weekend NOT get the Negative AE and get the next score above zero instead.

I still think you should get the negative, but I didn't make up the rules.  


Here's the quote from the rules.

" The automatic emergency will be the lowest scoring player who receives a score greater than 0 from your Substitutes list, who is not picked as one of your four reserves. "


I'm pretty sure I've seen in the past you will still get a score of ZERO as an AE if your player starts, and ends up on that score (not 100 % definite on that though), but you still won't get that negative score if you have someone in your squad ends up on that figure.

I'm bringing in cleary this week for Keary already used 3 boosts also

WT2K wrote:Anyone getting Cleary in this week?

My 2 main halves are Moses the flat track bully with Dragons, Titans & Wests the next 3 so he'll stay & Clifford who is too cheap to utilise the Cleary fund for. Moses will eventually make way for Cleary maybe after Wests when Cleary's price drops (hopefully).

Can do the same trade. Funds not an issue. But plenty of other fires to put out this week.

It's tempting to chop Burton for Cleary this week, but I shall wait a week if I must

That's a strange bug. Well spotted RnT. Have you messaged VSDT about it?

The AE rules are a bit inconsisrent in VSDT. If a player in your starting 17 plays and scores zero or less then they are included in your score, whereas if a player on your 18-25 bench plays and scores zero or less then they AREN'T used as an AE.

It's an annoying rule, but it's been that way for many years, and it's working the way VSDT wants it to work, so que sera sera.

I assume that SC has the same AE rules as VSDT (but I DON'T know, so maybe one of our SC experts can clarify that). How do the AE rules work in NRLF when players who play score zero or less?

In NRLF you get that person's score if they're your next reserve, or first reserve in the position required. If they play, you cop the 0, or the -5.

That seems fair. The VSDT rules are inconsistent, because they treat 1-17 players differently to 18-25 players.

If they take the field then their score counts, whether its is 0, positive or negative. This is true whether its part of the 17, or as the next available AE (AE based on player determined ranking, not as lower score)

Have players rank their AEs before the weekend makes more sense to me. It should always be more advantageous to have a player that actually gets a score, even a poor one, compared to someone who doesn't play at all.


There was a bug in Fantasy a few years ago when Danie Alvaro got injured in the first tackle of a match, but was counted as DNP (rather than his actual score of -1) because the system interpreted 0 minutes as not playing. So everyone who had him got an AE to at least partially avoid catastopher. I believe that bug has since been fixed though

Is the only thing unattractive about hetherington is that he’s starting from the bench?

Am looking at him and Alec MacDonald as potential trade-outs for Bullemor.  Just not sure what their job security is like?
