    Yeah it is hard to plan anything though without knowing what the actual make.up of teams and the reserve list will be.

    Yeah there are a few options to make up a squad of 21
    I think it's either
    the starting 13
    plus 1 reserve for each position
    plus 2 on an open bench
    Or
    The starting 13
    plus a bench of 4 similar to the real game,
    plus an open bench of 4
    Or
    Similar to last year's format minus 1 reserve FRF, 2RF, HLF, CTR, and WFB

    Cheers. It's interesting they don't have kick metres. Maybe it's more for supercoach.

    I was looking up some stats for Mr Arrow, if he gets the starting spot at 13 he should be able to get 50 odd points. Definitely one of the promising fantasy players this coming season...

    I really like Arrow and he is a must pick if he gets a starting lock position but it will be hard to press for it with. He is 22 and I know he probably signed for increased time in a similar fashion. To Jarrod Wallace last year. But I could see him missing out on a starting position. Although rumours are Greenwood is being offloaded as well.

    These nrl.com predicted round 1 teams are a bit off. The latest one is Manly & they don't even have Thompson in there. Also apparently Walker is going to be out until about round 6 & they have him at ctr. Some of the previous teams have some errors as well.

    Thanks Milch!
    Another 2 points per game for most of the top halves. Not a massive game changer, but every point helps I guess. And Widdop does deserve more fantasy points, he had a great 2017.

    They probably did the write up for these teams a few weeks ago... Just releasing them one day at a time... Looks like they added Thompson in there now...

    Having just seen an updated layout for the new design, it looks most likely to be that second option Wink Wink

    That kinda makes sense, having the Fantasy game resemble the real life game.
    Curious to see what parameters they are going to put on the Interchange selection.

    Was only able to auto-fill a team, but here's how the bench turned out in terms of positions. (Excuse the watermark Laugh 3 )

    Any word on how many trades we get?
    Won't be able to carry as many bad picks and not playing injured I"d think.

    Nice screenshot. That gives us a bit of an idea of what we're working with... Thanks

    I always appreciate your posts as they have good info.

    So confirmed it is a 13 man roster, with 4 playing reserves and then 4 emergencies.

    so is that the actual lay-out? if so, i'm very interested by the 18-21 being called 'EMG' instead of 'NPR' along with the numbering down the side, might we be looking at a change in the auto-emergency rule where you can prioritise players as your AE instead of just taking the lowest scorer?

    NPR has never been a term seen on our teams before.

    Given that the screen print uses last years prices it is not necessarily the final version.

    But the numbers next to the player names is a good sign for ranked subs rather than AE system

    Won't that be completely and easily open to abuse? (Name a base price centre who's never going to play, put a strong HOK or 2RF as 1st emergency)
