Tomorrow!
The wait is almost over. Ultimate Footy will be launching tomorrow afternoon!
In the mean time, here's another new feature to get you exited for 2015 that will revolutionise the way you use emergencies, and more details on the new premium stats that we have announced previously.
Leagues now have the ability to use 'Time on Ground Percentage' to control whether a player is replaced by an emergency. So if say a minimum of 20% of game time is selected, any player who plays less than 20% of a match will be replaced by an emergency.
The threshold can be set by league managers, with anything from 0% (same rules as previous seasons) to 50% able to be selected. If you want to cover only players who are injured early in a match, we suggest 20% (1% of cases in 2014). If you want to cover players who are subbed on late in the third quarter, we suggest 35% (4% of cases). In points-leagues if the player due to be replaced has scored more than the emergency, the original player will remain in the team. In category leagues the substitution will happen based solely on highest time on ground percentage.
This additional feature is available free to all leagues. Public leagues will use the default setting of 20%.
Another change to emergencies is that empty starting positions will no longer be replaced by emergencies. Only a player in your starting lineup that doesn't play will be replaced. This is designed to reduce the impact of the "emergency loophole".
Lastly, some details regarding the Stats upgrade package. We announced a month ago that this year leagues have access to new premium stats for scoring. To access these stats, your league will need to upgrade to "Stats PLUS". This will cost $29.95 and is a one-off payment that will upgrade your entire league. A part of this upgrade you'll also receive projected odds for your fantasy matches. The "PLUS" upgrade from previous seasons has been renamed "Features PLUS" and will remain at $39.95. If you upgrade to both packages you'ill receive a $10 discount on the total price.
As a reminder, the new stats categories are:
- Rebound 50s
- Spoils
- Disposals
- Effective Disposals
- Ineffective Disposals
- Disposal efficiency % (category leagues)
- Contested Possessions
- Clearances
See you tomorrow for the best year of Ultimate Footy yet!
