Agree on that order? CHT to come in?

I'd roll with cht. I'm putting him in too. I've got Xerri v roosters or Sele on the bench to choose from.

Yeah, cheers. I'd roll with Sele for you champ...

If I have D.Brown at 17, Garner at 18, CHT at 19, I should get Garner's score correct?

Yes, you are all set.

I was going to use Okunbor and loop Bird/CHT but couldn't bring myself to do it.

Bird stayed in the centres and the loop is CHT or Sivo/Okunbor now... still not 100% between those two. Sivo slightly higher ceiling?

Lawrie 18 to likely take burns’ spot
Carty 19
Rav 20
CHT 21

That way when Carty plays first if he does ok I leave it. And if he doesn’t and I want CHT then I swap lawrie and burns and put Carty 18 yeah? Am I close?

If Carty plays first, you can't swap his position after he's played.

17 - Burns
18 - Carty
19 - Rav

If Carty plays well, you leave as is. If you think Rav will score higher then you swap Rav/Burns after Carty plays.

Sivo probably has the highest ceiling, though oknboku is up against Rava

Thanks @filthridden and @Milchy !

I set up as mattnz suggested with Garner at 18 now to take Burns’s spot and brown in my 17 so if Carty does well I will leave it as is but if he doesn’t I will swap CHT for brown in the 17 to gamble on him instead. If Cartwright scores in the 30s then who knows what I will do but you at least this way I got a free look first

Cheers lads

If Halves were Morgan and Brown
Emergency 5 -CHT
Emergency 6 - Carty
Would I get the highest score out of the two players or would I get the score of the player who plays first.

There is a test currently underway to confirm how it handles DDP's, but in your example you get CHT. It goes down your list of ressies and picks the first half.

I should have known that Milchy would be all over this, and saved myself some effort.  

Here's the results for my test as well, which seem to align with those above.




All three red-dots were covered by Elgey substituting into HLF, Peachey going into CTR and Gutho going into WFB. This result aligns with theory 4 from my previous post in this thread, and would seem to put a line through the other three theories I proposed.

I'll still continue with this for the next few weeks however, just to make sure.

Cheers


PS. This pretty crappy team managed to score 766 points (766 points overall) and jumped to ~ 87000 overall out of ~ 98000 teams. I'm not sure how many teams joined the comp this round but surely it can't be 10000. There must be a buttload of incomplete teams or teams that are full of Maloney's and Carter's.

My AE test team for this week




For each of the theories being tested the following should happen:

1. Sorting by player position from HOK > WFB
   Gutherson should sub into HLF. Wighton should sub into HLF. Watene-Zelezniak should sub into WFB.

2. Sorting by order of red-dots match (Hiroti first, then Walters, then Sailor)
    Gutherson should sub into WFB. Wighton should sub into HLF. Elgey should sub into HLF.

3. Sorting by substitutes first named position
    Gutherson should sub into HLF. Wighton should sub into WFB. Elgey should sub into HLF.

4. Sorting by highest priority of substitutes
    Gutherson should sub into HLF. Wighton should sub into HLF. Watene-Zelezniak should sub into WFB.


Again, I will post the results for this on Monday

Okay I think I need one more lesson on setting my team up.

Ideally have your captain and Vc in early games to increase flexibility. St least your vc anyway

Set your bench up with players who play late. And then looping..

Best way to set this team up?

Rein
Fifita Tolman
Arrow Murray capewell
Morgan CHT
Nikora vc Bateman
CNK Ponga C Hughes

Mahoney James burns (loop) haas
Garner lawrie Carty rava

Thanks in advance lads! Hopefully I’ll have it down pat after his!

Timing of C and VC doesnt really matter, only advantage of being early like first game, is you can guarantee they will be playing.

The important timing is ideally your players you want to loop in, should play as early as possible, so you get to see their scores before deciding which score to take.

Rein
Fifita Haas
Arrow Murray Bateman
Morgan Carty
Nikora vc Burns (loop)
CNK Ponga C Hughes

Mahoney James Garner lawrie
Tolman CHT capewell rava

Here you get to see Capewell and Tolman play, if you like either score you can take it. For Tolman's score you switch Bateman with Garner, or leave as is for Capewell's score. If they both bomb and you think Rava can score better, you can switch CHT and Rava to get his score instead.

Xerri and Carty up for the loop this round. Thinking Xerri could be in for a big one vs the Panthers
