From the SC site:

Players who are actually named and in the starting 22 for any match AND score a 0 for any reason, will NOT be replaced by an emergency. Their 0 score will also have an effect on their value, being recorded as having played a game.​

By the looks of it you will get Harper's score.

Sometimes I think maybe you could be a rocket surgeon. You seem to be from another planet. Try and keep up.

Beau water keep or trade?

It depends on how many trades you have left and who your bench cover is. I'd be looking at trading him though.

5 trades left with no rookies on field when full strength team would be relying on darley to play with Goddard suspended, will make finals

Do you have rookies in other positions that need to be upgraded? If you don't, get rid of Waters. If you need to do trades in other areas however you might be better off doing those. You just need to look at what gives you most points, as well as having enough trades to see out the year.

Guys. I have a discussion point with regard to moral compliance of the rules of Fantasy Footy. Please share your thoughts on this subject and offer your views...

I have it on good authority, and can have it validated, that a certain individual that is likely to play a major role in the final standings of Supercoach this year, could potentially have as many as 18 teams entered in this years competition under different names. This same person is a Fantasy Sport 'junkie' and has entered in a separate competition of which there is a prize for the most successful league, of which he has proudly created all 18 teams. And will be the likely winner

I guess my question is "At what point should the administrators intervene and investigate the winner and ensure that he/her has complied with the rules associated with the game, so as no legitimate contenders' prospects are compromised ? " This is indeed a topic for discussion and I guess is required to provoke debate and, if not least, bring it to the attention of the adminstrators to ensure that there are no tainted winners and, if not in the short term, we can eradicate these 'cheats' in the future.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm guessing we are talking about the "Family Feud' league in Sportsbet's DT competition. I can't see how this league could possibly be more than one person with the average they are getting. Another guess, would be that the team angelas angels is one of the teams in both the Family Feud league and also doing very well in Supercoach (3rd). I notice a lot of teams in Sportsbet top 50/100 that have team names that start with lower case and the same letter for each and very similarly named - I think they are angelas angels, tinas titans, ramas rebels, takahashi tank. These teams have barely any different players.

Looking at HS Supercoach, angelas angels are 3rd, tinas titans are 73, takahashi tank is 143 and ramas rebels 1921.

It would surely not be too difficult for VS to find a league (Family Feud) that has 18 players logging in from the same IP one after another making the same trades.

EDIT: on further look, ramas rebels appears to be a bigfooty richmond supporter, so probably not part of this.

EDIT again: roccos rollers is also questionable.

Family Feud is also the top ranking league in DT, with a lot of those suspect team names also in the top 50 coaches. Surprisingly a lot of the team owners are called Mark or Marc.

Mark Vomero? Wonder if he has a bigfooty account.

They should intervene now! This is really disgusting to hear. I can understand people having 2 teams, but 18 is just ridiculous. I play fantasy premier league in the off season and I remember about 7 years ago I had 2 teams and then about a quarter way through the season I received an email from the admins to say that more that one team was not allowed and then they killed one of my teams. The SC/DT admins should do the same thing in this case and quite frankly I'm surprised they haven't done so already. If Fantasy Premier League had the ability to do this 7 years ago, then in this day and age there is no excuse for VS to not do this today.

Honestly, I hardly have enough time to manage just my one team, let alone 18.

Takahashi Tank You out there to defend yourself?

 

[demon_fanatic]

hEY Guys i have the dilemma of trying to guess who will be sub out of Couch, Elliot and Gibson for North.. i think Elliot and Gibson may take the vest this week.. Adams and Wright are locks to start and you'd think Harper may get a go instead of Gibson this week after having the vest last week>???

With pies you'd think Fasolo and Sinclair are locks and then you'd probably want Marty Clarke for some backman type run... as Fasolo and Sinclair are already goalsneaks similar to Elliot...

Couch i think could just take Magners role and start on with Bate or Bennell being sub.... thoughts??

I was going to post a similar thing. I have to start one of Elliott or Gibson and am worried one or both being named sub. At what time are the subs for tonight's game announced and can you change your SC team after then?

90 minutes before the game starts..and yes you can.

 

[demon_fanatic]

yeh we cant do anything about COUCH/ELLIOT but at least if Gibson is named Sub you can chuck Couch on and if he happens to start you've had a minor victory... that's what i will do... i think Gibson and Elliot good chance at subs though unless Scott is angry at Harper for not getting a touch last week as sub and leaves him in vest again

Just thought I'd ask the question to what you guys think the best lineup in the midfield is this year.
My middle (as of this round) has 6 of the top 10 for avg points per game.
Ablett, Watson, Pendles, J Selwood, JPK, Mitchell
The only other person that you would want in there is S Thompson at the expense of mitchell probably.

I think most teams by now would look a little something like this though.
Just don't ask me about the rest of my team

 

[Parasite]

Mark Vomero? Wonder if he has a bigfooty account.

Mark's teams did very well again this week, with angelas angels moving into second position overall. tinas titans into 28 and takahashi tank into 75. I'm thinking they need to be made aware of this blatant cheating.

Pretty certains that sunn gods (1946) and jads back (20th) are both his teams also.

Anyone out there able to view the SC quarterly updates posted on foxfooty match centre on their iphone?

I always get redirected to the mobile site which doesn't have them. (There is no option at the bottom of this page to go to the full site)

Have tried Atomic Browser and User Agent Faker without success.

Would love it if anyone had a solution to this problem.

 

[footyfan_25]

When making trades is anyone else mindful of how many players they have playing from 1 particular game (given scoring is capped etc). If so what is the max amount of players you would have in 1 game?

My senerio ... Currently have Goddard, Carrazzo, Yarran, Dal Santo & Hayes.

Considering bringing in Murphy for Barlow.

If i'm lucky enough to make the grand final Saints play the Blues that week. If I trade in Murphy it will give me 6 players in that game,

Is 6 too many in a grand final game?

 

[tattooedswan]

I need some help.

I have 2 trades left and $45,000.

Last week I traded out Kreuzer to Mumford and now am lost for options. I have Redden and Campbell on the bench, do I hope one of them plays this week and wait for Mummy?
