Perhaps SC can add a new selection for our teams, a 'Sub', that might help.
- One 'Sub' is selected from the leftover Bench players after the 'Emerg' players have been selected. This 'Sub" player can replace one donut in any position.
I actually reckon an "injury" sub could be cool where you can replace an injured player during the weekend.
I also would love if they'd implement the system you can use on ultimate footy where if a player plays less than 10% (or whatever it is) game time then the emergency replaces them.
Both help deal with the luck factor of injuries, especially early injuries. You still cop the price change related issues, just means you get a chance in the event of injury.
Be interesting to see if they could design an Injured Reserve system as well for when a premium gets a long term injury to have some way to not have to trade them but be able to replace them. Say for example you have Neale and he's out 8 weeks, you can pick anyone his value or lower to replace him for those 8 weeks and then after 8 weeks or whenever Neale returns, whichever is longer, you can then replace any player that is Neale's price or higher with Neale or something like that
