With top 18 scores counting (and if Neale's score as VC counts as C) I think I will be 12/1383 (c) with best 6 scores from the remaining 7 players of Fyfe, Houston, A. Brayshaw, Rowell, Doedee, Bewley and Sturt (or Max Kings 51 as E if two of my remaining players scores less than 51). Of course, I could have totally miscalculated, just like I may have miscalculated how many drinks I've had tonight …… ;)

Sort of hoping Georgiades comes in tomorrow for port so I can trade him into my fwds, and at least knock out Whitfield's 8 from my top 18.

Try to work out my score with my loopholes, and I think I am on

14/1627, with Rowell, Houston, Budarick and Sturt, presuming they score over Pickett 50 Taylor 44. Haven’t counted Pickett or Taylor score yet
Don’t think I will need Whitfield 8

1415/12.... i think anyway. Neale C.

Fyfe ryan Houston Freo Brayshaw sturt rowell to come.

Projected to get 2148 which I'll take in a heartbeat but thinking ill struggle to get to 2000. With petracca zerrett drvon rivers kpp out, it's what it is, but will be very interesting to see the change in rankings come tomorrow evening, hoping i stay near the pointy end (currently 127th).

Does best 18 give you a 'free hit' with a second emergency on the same line - and the potential for both of their scores to count if in the best 18 or does the only lowest of the 2 emergency scores count (if in the best 18)?

Nah, I would say only the lowest emergency score counts in your 18.

So here's a poser for you guys. I still have a trade left for this round, as I was waiting till final teams to bring in Rivers for Davis or Hibberd.

I've also got: Zerrett, Oliver, Smith (Bennell). Is it worth trading one of the first three for a Fyfe or Rozee etc.?

Who knows what's going to happen? May as well play it how it lands. Caution to the wind. All that.

(At the moment, if nothing changes, I'll scrape in 18, but that is with Whitfield's 8.)

14/1,512 - Neale.
Missed the opportunity to put the E on T Brown, which was my fault.
20 scoring players (assuming no more drama), so 2 to drop out.
Currently lowest: Picket (55), Taylor (44)
Still to come: Fyfe, Rozee, Rowell, Houston, Sturt, Buderick.
Projected score: 1,991
Projected score includes Sturt 100 and Rowell 126, which I'm not expecting.
Will be happy with anything over 1,900, which I think/hope will be a competitive score this week.

My guess is, treat as normal.
If you have the E on 2 Mids, and 2 of your on field Mids are missing, then both the E's have the potential to be in your best 18.
If you have the E on 2 Mids, and only 1 of your mids is missing, only the lower of the two E scores is in your calculations.
I could be wrong.

1771/16 C ( Neale) - still have Fyfe & Rowell to play (best 18) ?

MIA tomorrow - Gawn, Petracca, D Smith, Rivers, Bennell

Not happy with the need for best 18, but it is what it is and this will need it be a season of flexibility, uncertainty, resilience and a bit of luck. It’s not a normal season, but since when is SuperCoach predicable? ?
Just realised that I can bring Sturt on field for Smith/Petracca, so hopefully an opportunity to push Taylor’s 44 out of my best 18 - hopefully some silver lining
