VSDT 2024

.
I have 12 players for R13 (before trading). Lussick > J.Brailey will give me 13.

Trying to field 17 next week will be a challenge. Haha!

Have 11 starters before trades. Grant and Api are hookers that I won't be trading so I'll get Faamausili's low score as AE.

I'll probably need to score well and get the eliminator bye....

Hoping for a bye is probably the better way, I'm more worried about my round 14 numbers than round 13...

Do you have this week’s BE’s @Milchow? Thank you in advance

So if you had 5 WFB scorers, but no playing hooker, you could name your WFB4 and WFB5 in your reserves and their scores would count if they were amongst your best 13.

and in SC if you have both Teddy + Drinkwater in your 17 they'll both count, even if you have no playing hooker.

Wow, that's huge. I've no hooker, and short an EDG too and just assumed I was cooked. But I have three green dots on my bench so that means I'll still get 12 scorers then? Nice. I'll take that indeed!

Tossing up Lussick to Hands (for the cash) or JMK (for the byes). Have 13 for the week already, but just wondering if moving Lussick to JMK is worth it when he has the bye next week. Likelihood of Grant backing up after Origin?

Sorry for delay, hopefully not too late to be useful

That's crazy. It would make more sense to use the Round 12 scores to determine the rankings.

Also, with Rounds 13, 16, and 19 already excluded from he Eliminator, it would also make sense to exclude Rounds 14, 17, and 20.

Thanks for the BE's Milch.

I just realised there are only 3,266 entries so that means 830 should receive a bye in Round 14 and you would think it would be the top 830 in Round 13 that get the bye... but who knows if that's the case!

I need some clarification!

Looking to loop Aitken’s 80 but it would mean I need to leave Teddy, Manu or May out of my 17. In a normal round, I would just get them as an emergency score but this from the help section makes me think I won’t get them as an emergency:

If you end up with less than 13 scoring players on your selected Starting 17, but you have unselected players your bench who actually play, the usual automatic emergency rule will apply (i.e. you'll receive the score of your lowest-scoring player on your bench).

So say I left May out of my 17, he wouldn’t come in for one of my 17 who scored zero? (I have 16 this week)

Traded in and captained Teddy - bad
Have Weekes as VC - good

You'll get the AE as per usual

If you have 16 scoring players, you won't get an AE

As you won't have less than 13 scoring players

But as Teddy is now confirmed out, you should be able to safely drop him from your team to loop in Aitken

I wish it was that easy but I brought in Teddy this week and can’t reverse the trade so might just take the risk and put the C on Manu and switch Teddy to Drinky

Of course. My dumbass misread

Took the C off May to take Weekes' 73 points

I got a dead team in the eliminator with someone who has Cleary and Pappy C and VC
