    No Worries wrote: If you have Carty in 14-17 and a half goes down on Friday, then a 2FR goes down on Sunday and you have Croker in 18-21, do you play a man short or does Carty move to 2RF and Croker into half ? 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.

    Fantasy is about playing the numbers, not just who you think will score well but who everyone thinks will score well.

    What do u mean @Clack Bocks - what do u do in those 4 or 5 rounds while u wait ?

    Seperately, not being a smart ass, but what is the governing factor in easing peoples minds that the hooker scenario at Souths wont be the same as all of last year ? Ie; utter shit.

    New coach in. Cook being clearly on the rise and Farah on the decline as a footballing force.

    Can't say with 100% certainty what will be happening 3-4 rounds into the season, but I think its a safe bet that Cook will get the 60+ minutes he needs to be a worthwhile fantasy purchase.

    For those that played last year, or want to play this year, have created an Autofill league

    https://www.nrlfantasyfanatics.com/t622-2018-autofill-league

    Everyone starts with the same 21 players and we see who can trade their way to vistory

    Shhh, but PhantomX listed them up on page 4 vaguely. If you put it up though we can work out where you would seed roughly anyway.

    Listed them where exactly ?

    J-Trbo looking really good & playing basically 80 minutes.
    N. Brown potentially with reduced minutes with Moeroa playing in the middle.

    I might make the switch from Brown to J-Trbo. Jurbo also likes the odd try & try assist.

    Maybe it's worded poorly,

    Currently everyone has ponga, cartwright, smith etc. in their squads so i put them straight in. Say that takes 11 spots. Then I fill in the remaining spots with players whose first 4-5 rounds have drawn easy match ups.

    The coach wants one hooker.  Plus it's a new coach, and Cook is good and Farah is shit.  The Charity Shield game sealed the deal.  If the coach puts Farah on the bench I will be livid, but can't see it happening at all.

    I hope Farah is on the bench just to scare everyone away.

    I don't have a thrid CTR pencilled in at the moment, and to be honest I don't feel that bad about it. I think I'd rather just have a zero one week than carry a cheapie back that could average around 15. Not having a dud cow should pretty quickly make up that 15 points.

    I'll grab Milne if he gets the spot. But neither Kenner or Hiku really interest me, and I'd rather use one of my 18-21 spots on someone else.

    I msg nrl fantasy and asked about the dpp status and they confirmed they will be making updates prior to rd 1. So this means possibly Inglis gets dpp ctr and SST dpp prop if they are named in those positions come rd 1

    By all means Cook himself is the goods, its just Farah being their that makes the mix reek a little.

    why wouldn't they have Farah on the bench to give Cook a 10 minute break after half time ?
    The rest of the time Farah can play lock (coz he is still a good middle defender), to give each of the back row a 10 minute break too.
    He would also be there as cover for Reynolds !!
