Round 14: Teams, In Game & Cancelled Ade/Gee Scoring Discussions - Best 18 Scoring

[OzRulesFootball]

I have 13 players out plus Harvey and Watson still not confident will play.
Could be my worst bye round. I should have planned better.

 

[KLo30]

Note: Projected scores in SC have been altered to 18 player situation.

 

[mvdi]

I've never been fortunate enough to be able to emergency loophole on a bye week, but does it still work the same?

 

[Juzzo]

Best 18 is not fair. It must be the only easy thing they could do at late notice. If they could adjust their software, surely they would've given averages.

 

[Philzsay]

I've never been fortunate enough to be able to emergency loophole on a bye week, but does it still work the same?

Yes it does work same way.

I will be puttin the E on Boston and McLean and loop them with Selwood or Read if they happen to go big.

 

[Senior Coach]

I would of thought best 22 scores out of your squad of 30 , (all EMG scores availiable) Crows & Cats players 0 DNP, rewards the teams that have cover

 

[bluesbrothers]

I have Krakouer as emergency... Im assuming i won't get his score now as i have more than 18 on field?

 

[mvdi]

Yes it does work same way.

I will be puttin the E on Boston and McLean and loop them with Selwood or Read if they happen to go big.

Thanks. I have to play one of hamling, brown or Boston and I can loop brown and Boston with Mckenzie and Yeo.

Emergency score can be counted in best 18 if a player in his position scores a 0 like normal

 

[BC]

Yes it does work same way.

I will be puttin the E on Boston and McLean and loop them with Selwood or Read if they happen to go big.

If I make read captain (to get my vc score) and nicnats benched with emg on him I still get nicnats score if its in the best 18?

 

[Beijing_Sting]

Such a sad weekend, but I think they did a good job with the 18.

 

[KLo30]

4/665 (C)..... Wow just wow

And now outright favourite for highest score of the round.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Best 18 sucks IMO - great for all those that were going to cop donuts with Buddy, Martin and all the others missing but sucks for those of us going in with 22 premiums. Probably lose my cash league here now to someone with 5 rookies playing when I can't even get Steele or Lambert into a potential best scoring 18.

Should have been best 20 if they were going down this path.

Oh well, terrible circumstances

 

[KLo30]

Never really contemplated this, however do players predicted scores for the match across the two competing teams sum in total to 3300? Fascinated to know the answer now!

Edit: Obviously they can't as VS unaware of selected teams.

PS. Thanks for answering your own question.

I do not know what is going to happen in SC game itself but for those playing FDL or keeper league here what I have decided to do is paste a rounded up average score for likely 22 each. I do not believe VirtualSports will do the same in SC but for FDL and keeper league it is simplest solution to horrible real life circumstances meaning the game needed to be called off.

For those playing in SCDL that is another league here that is spin off from FDL please feel welcome to copy and paste to your game too.

Very surprised by this decision. Would have preferred 0s or averages.

As an exercise I used Oz's average scenario, which interestingly nearly added up to 3300, and scaled the scores for each side to get 1650. Here are the results:

It appears to lend weight to the decision taken by AFL fanasty.

 

[Philzsay]

While I would have done it differently the decision has been made now. Way I see it is to try to figure out the best way to take advantage with one's current team. For myself the best advantage I can get is by delaying trades.

No late changes for #AFLPiesHawks.
Jarryd Blair (Magpies) and Matt Suckling (Hawks) the subs.

There's more important things in life than SC, we know the answer now and should just embrace it.

Couldn't agree more - I'm in a similar position in my main cash league now. My opponent has gone from copping two donuts to now having a higher projected score than me!

I'm hoping Hanners trade in was wasted due to him not being part of my best scoring 18

Absolutely, I just thought it was an interesting exercise both for this weeks scenario and answered my earlier question, to some degree, about predicted scores.
