Hi Tim
I am wondering if you could clarify something for me with your team and maybe Sangster as well.
The “best 13 scores from your selected 17 players in bye rounds” has me a little confused.
If, for example, I play NO hookers, halves and FB’s but say, play 6 x 2r’s would you get the scores of the extra 3 x 2r’s in lieu of your missing hookers, halves and fullbacks? Normally you would only get 1 ae but in the above example would you get 3 ae’s from your 17 selected players?
I don’t really want to have to sell Hynes, Clearly, Latrell and Walsh during the byes. But if you can not play them and still be able to get ae scores for all of them from within your 17 players it would make a huge difference to bye planning.
Apologies for contacting you via this article but I don’t use Twitter or any of the other social media platforms.
Cheers! Michael
I play AFL SC as well where they have had this set up for years over bye rounds. You only get your best 13 scores from your fielded 13 Players + 4 Reserves. You would also get 1 AE (being your lowest non selected player). So pretty much think of it as any other round but only your 13 best scores count.
Hey Michael, apologies mate. Will make more effort to check the comments section here from now on for you! Absolutely outstanding question, Sangster is chasing this up and will get back to us.
Cheers guys. Much appreciated!
