I suppose the question is, are emergencies assessed at the end of the round or rolling like the lock out ?
NRL Fantasy wrote:Auto-emergency will be calculated as of the last game of the round. It will take into account the players from 1-17 that didn't start, the ordering of the bench players and their positions. There are too many variables to know exactly what would happen in your example, but for your example both players are likely to be pulled in as auto-emergency scores in your final 17, as the calculation is made after the last game. Keep an eye on the Fantasy News as we'll try and explain the auto-emergency process in more detail at some point.
What a great system where the people who wrote it don't know how it works.
My is bet they just go through the positions in order HOK, FRF, 2RF, HLF, CTR, WFB
So in your example 2RF would be filled first (by Carty) and then Croker to HLF. And position 18 would count as a score for Carty (unless Croker was 18, in which case 19 would come in)
I'll probably create a dummy team to try out some loophole/AE situations over the first few rounds.
