Yeah, no magic SuperCoach world where you play a player, see a rubbish score then sub them off for someone from the bench sadly :rolleyes:
Or where you trade them in and you are not happy with their score you can reverse trade them back out and pick a alternative , looking at you Mr Darcy

I don't play EPL Fantasy but I am sure they have a bench boost feature that you can use a few times per season , I guess you need to nominate to use it before seeing your bench score.

Yeah he'd be a looper I think. Structurally I've just realised bringing in Carroll would make it awkward to also bring in Clark next week. It's possible, but if if come down to the two I think Clark wins on JS and bye. So it probably comes down to Rioli and Hamilton.

You must have tripled down in order to fit them all in.
Broke a cardinal rule by bringing a couple in early, over the last 3 weeks it's been, Hayes & Rosas, Hamilton & Carroll, Clark & Rioli, whilst losing 9 rookies and adding 3 premos. Bit of a pity though that Rioli had his bad week(s) when coming in on the bubble. I don't think that I'll field any small forward rookies if I can avoid it.

Clark will have to sit at M8 for a few rnds and Martin has to look after F6, although there's enough ITB to upgrade Martin > Petracca which would mean fielding Hamilton at F6, so I'm inclined to sit tight for a round or 2 just to see how things pan out, the rnd 12 DPP's and byes will probably shape my last 2 upgrade decisions.

Dare you to put him on the field. Rosas 8, two weeks back, Rioli 7 this past week as English cover, Hamilton's turn this week. I see a trend here.
Hamilton went well this week, but I won’t be fielding either of them, thanks 😊

If Rioli is going to kick a few though it will be against us - the mids give our backline no chance. So he can be looped.

Things are looking grim for downgrade options next week.

Basically relying on Luke Cleary retaining his spot as the Dogs' 7th defender over Duryea/Crozier assuming they don't change team structure. Otherwise the options are Motlop, Jeffrey & Butler who all scored under 35 last week...

Jacob Wehr the only debutant this week, who will be on the bubble after the first bye if he holds his spot.

Good timing for adjustments then, I'm just going to use the 1 trade and flick that useless POS Ryan > Zorko, could also go Cogs/Martin > Martin, but I'll wait for a couple more rnds. Sometimes you have to take the rookies when they present and not just wait for the mythical ones to appear trying to eke out the last few $ from rookies/MP's in your team.
