"If this auto-emergency player is listed within the Interchange Players they will be replaced as an interchange Player by the highest ranked eligible emergency not currently in the Scoring 17"

But I assumed "eligible" meant matching position

Thats what i thought. So i guess you dont need cover in specific position?? Changes the ball game a bit

Yes. Having WFB cover should be a thing. Used to need 2 before.

if the player is in your 13 and a scratching you will get 0 if no cover. If the are in your 13-17 you will get the 18th man score?

I always felt if a starting 13 player didn't play then the sub had to be from that matching position but if they were on the interchange anyone could come in since the bench could be made up from any player. Since Katoa was on the interchange the highest ranked emergency would come in.

14-17 and yes seems interchange means a girl has no name

But Katoa isn't selected as a WFB in this case, he is an interchange player who can come from any position

Yes, you do. If you have eg. Smith at hooker and no hookers 14-21, and Smith is out you get no AE.

Would it be silly to do a cash grab of Brown >>> Murray or TPJ?

Yeah 14-17, slight typo

Yes.

I'm actually thinking of bringing Hiku in for Nicholls. DPP and the way that side was used in attack, he could actually be a set and forget in the centres. Crazy I know, but the way they are playing seems like the opportunities for him won't stop. BE of 0 helps.

Brown scored 45 in 40 degree heat in a side that lost 54-0. Very silly to trade him out IMO

I don't understand how people still aren't getting the whole ranked subs thing. It's really not that hard.

I don't think it's the worst idea. who do you currently have?

Playing Mitchell and Kennar. Thinking Kennar due for a 10-15 soon enough. If Hiku rides up to 450-500K he could almost be a swap for a Croker/Aitken.

The ranked subs is not the issue. Interchange making the player positionless is the confusion.

Same here. I know its new to fantasy/supercoach, but Fantasy Premier League has been doing ranked subs for as long as I've been playing, and I've never heard of anyone struggling with the concept. 

I guess that comp doesn't have the confusion of 2 types of bench players, splitting reserves into interchange and emergencies would probably confuse some people there I guess. Nor do they have rolling lockout, so you don't have to worry about people trying to game the system through loopholes

The thing is, if people don't understand, just have coverage the best you can, rank them from best to worst and let the game do the rest.

Croft>Thompson is my trade this week I think. Thompson looks still good value at the price.

Mitchell is annoying me 37pts only -4 no missed tackles but 10pts from goals. Feels like Dalker all over again.

Would like to do Mitchell to a FRF as Rochow Lodge Kikau feels dangerous so TPJ Arrow interesting or could go large and get Kapow but probably best hold for now
