I thought he’s started EDG a few times but agree could be MID. I’d argue he’s clearly a forward now and needs one of those positions DPP. But will likely get nothing.

There’s probably a lot more bench forwards named as EDG in Fantasy that really play MID every week I’ve missed too

"Well, PSA I can confirm the AE's are not advanced enough to sub a DPP emg into the most optimal position considering other AE's below.

So for my team I had a red dot in half and two red dots in wfb, Weekes highest spot on bench then Tracey then Cole. It took Weekes into Half and Tracey into wfb and left Cole out. Annoying.

Ended up with 639 instead of 678 and basically held rank."

That sucks, sorry to hear. Mine worked out - I had red dots at HLF (Galvin), CTR (Koula) and WFB (Teddy) filled by Iro, Atkinson, and Strange (listed in that order on my bench).

I wonder if it was because technically Teddy was recorded as not playing first, before Galvin on a bye, so Atkinson covered WFB first.

After Tedesco was ruled out and my lowest scoring player had the VC I lost interest in the round and forgot all about having a similar DPP setup.

I had HOK and HLF spots open, with my bench ordered Hands(HOK/HLF), Brailey(HOK), Cole(HLF).

So logically Hands being DPP should've gone HLF with the 2nd player available being a HOK, but Hands instead subbed in at HOK, Brailey was skipped and Cole came in at HLF.

I scored 654 instead of 662, only 8 points difference but more confirmation the system is still dumb AF.

I don’t understand why Talagi would get DPP. He was injury cover at 5/8 then injury cover at FB then dropped. Surely he gets named at centre (which he already is designated) and Russell goes out to the wing. How would he qualify for a DPP?

Who were your non-playing HOK and HLF in your lineup?

As you say dumb AF.

I’ve always wondered if this kind of thing is driven by the way the DPP is listed. Because Weekes is a HLF/WFB he comes in at Half first if there’s a spot there for him. Same with Hands as HOK is listed first in his DPP.

There’s a whole range of players who are WFB/CTR where others are CTR/WFB for example, I suspect that factors into some logic or they’d just list them all in the same order to start the season

But also, it is dumb AF

After trades and only having 3 left pretty happy with my team.

Only a couple of data points but to me it looks like the relevant thing is that they get filled in what looks like reading order down the page. I.e. in BCTs case half gets filled first and takes the highest positioned available player which happens to be Weekes. I don't think the order of DPP matters but it is a bit of a guess.

To be honest, if it is done like that, the implementation makes sense to me. It should be explained better in the rules section though which doesn't describe the order the AEs are applied.

Yep can only guess this must be the case, which yeah they should just add a note that this is how it works. At the moment it just makes mention that a DPP will sub in to a spot unless "required for another DNP player" which is very ambiguous. Surprised I've never come across that situation before, lessons learned.

Few question marks about role/job security, but everyone except Armstrong/Weekes looks like a hold in the medium term

Should actually do pretty well despite the lack of trades

Ok then, so why does Manu have DPP?

In the last few seasons, he’s been injury cover at 5/8 then injury cover at FB, but always gets named at CTR otherwise

Why doesn’t Cook get CTR? Plays there every now and again

He’s had quite a few FB games since the last update?

Not sure if serious…

I'll bet my left nut Talagi gets dpp

Whether he does or doesn’t, someone explain to me Manu being different. Or Garrick for that matter. Provably quite a few others too. Its all guesswork but I’m just working off the precedent
