My starting 13 average = 40.61

fourteen to seventeen = 45.75

eighteen to twenty-one = 49.00

the starting 13 included captain cam. I will make cash this round but I will be stuck with a lowly score of 711 and well down the list already.

If you have Katoa starting, and Isaako and Kennar on your bench, here is how to game the AE system.

Play Katoa as a starter. Isaako at 20, and Kennar at 21 (assuming no other WFB on your bench)
Whoever is at 19 should play after the Broncos.

Broncos play Friday night, so after the game, have a look at Isaako's score and decide if you want it or not.
If it's good enough, do nothing and Isaako will sub for Katoa.
If Isaako goes poorly, swap Kennar into 19, and you'll get his score instead. I'd Kennar also sucks, well you were probably stuffed anyway.

Yeah - I didn't include the captains double points when I did it. 730 for the week for me

Was he picked because he was my first emergency, or was he picked because he was the lowest score? I thought this shit was all changing depending on position.

What are the rules surrounding when the player is "selected"  as the substitute? Does it just occur at the end of round?

This would work equally well with the 18th slot, instead of 19th, correct?

Are you able to make trades mid-round?

Working out all the possibilities in my head.
