2016 NRL.com Fantasy thread part 28

Rippin and Tearin wrote:I may have mis-read the other day, but was someone pointing out a loop-hole with fantasy whereby if you name a C and VC, and ur VC (e.g. Tedesco) plays first, if they score really well you can then sub out your C, pop them in reserves post the first match and your VC will then count as your C? If so does that mean the guy you originally had as you C, say Cam Smith, will still count as a score in your 17?

Or have I completely misread what was being said the other day?

Yes mate.  So the old loophole from year's passed that was easy is dead with them locking C/VC.  But with 17 you can still take advantage of the Captain/Vice Captain now being locked.  

So I have 17 this week.

VC Ted
C Cam

Ted goes shit, nothing changes and take Cam's double points.
Ted goes LARGE, I sub Cam into the reserve hooker spost.  A message will come up in regards not scoring double points if you do this.  Theoretically I will then get Ted as double points.

Now I used the old loophole quite a few times but not the new one with Captains locked.  I believe it was done successfully last year but I'm pretty scared about trying it.

Normally 80 plus was about worth it but I think I would want 100 to risk it.

I may drop the VC on Surgess tonight.

Only if u have 17 or less players! Otherwise ur AE won't be smith and may be Auva'a for 7 points, defeats the purpose

Sorry, what do you mean by "with 17" are you saying it can only work if you have exactly 17 playing squad members and the rest red dots?

Ah OK, got it. That makes sense. I can't try it then as I have a couple stragglers. I was gonna give it a shot with Surgess tonight, but I guess I won't be able to have it work huh!

Have spent half the week trying to work out what to do with my own team and I reckon everyone else is the same.  I don't think anyone has any Fantasy energy left for anyone else

Think kodi may only score high 20s low 30s and only make 50k before macca comes back. May not be worth it. Bhana will go well

SI wrote:

Yep, like Warriors confirmed, it only works with 17 nowadays.  Perfect number for my team this week

Pretty sure you can do it with less than 17 players. Will be a good tactic during all byes so might be a good way to limit the carnage if u have less players.
