CL Beams 104, Ablett 184, no.

EL Ambrose 48, JKH 25, yes (however it didn't matter as it was outside my top 18 scores).

(I started keeping track of my use of the emergency loophole from the start of the year, but only for a few rounds. Will see if I can dig up the info if you want.)

Sorry I found it hard to present if I had used the loophole or not.

Also - if there was no loophole I would have had Pendles captain almost every week (I only try others if there is a decent option playing before him as a gamble on banking a big score). So where Pendles comes over the top of a poor VC score I don't think this is a benefit of the loophole system - it is me trying to exploit the rolling lockout and taking a (Ryan) Gamble to try and boost a score with an unlikely VC high score.

Same with Langdon at D6 - I wanted him there every week but where Coll play on Fri night I would make him (E) in case of injury, sub out or poor game. If he didn't have any of those I kept him in as his score would be ok - if he had a bad game I could use McDonald or Georgiou to cover for him.

Some inflated figures but a decent guide to the benefits of the Loophole - hope this helps!!!

3 weeks in a row now, I've managed to double my highest scorer! :)
(That's usually easy to say, if you have Ablett, but I don't :()

None for me this round as forgot to even check my captain ones. So once again I lose points on captaincy because it was simply left on Gazza the whole weekend...
If I was paying attention yesterday would have had VC on him and C on Dangerfield. I would have given up over 200 points on neglecting to closely monitor my C and VC all year.
