The above chat reminded me of funny memory when I was in the crowd not too far away from the goals and saw John Barnes go and hide behind the goal post in order not to have an opponent pick him up!!
A grand total of 4 names on this that I didn't give strong consideration to: Hardwick, Parish, NicNat and Walker. Walker the only one of those I didn't give any consideration to
According to my calcs the max score for a ghost team up to round 11 is 26,888 which is over 1300 points higher than this score. It would be leading by over 1500 points (current leader 25,328).
Note the following points.
This assumes you set a single emergency on each line. It is theoretically possible that setting 2 emergencies on one line and none on another delivers a higher score however I can't model that.
This type of theoretical max always throws up a few unrealistic scenarios as follows.
James Madden is on field from the start despite only playing 3 games so far because getting Jiath as an emergency in the weeks Madden doesn't play gives you a higher score than having Jiath on field in all rounds.
Similar situation with Cunnington which gets you Gulden's scores in the first 2 rounds.
Similar with Darcy which gets you Flynn's score in the first week.
@Herbie66 What is wrong with your mob? You might be going badly on field but this is the kind of that could really sink a season by doing it mid season 😂
