Sorry didn't submit a team on time :(. Was out tonight and Iceland wasn't too effected. And probably wouldn't have played Rioli so not a big loss there, just his score :(.

Will check if I'll change my team from last week as think others than Rioli not really effected.

Also haven't seen to my sc/rdt -.-

Well, Langdon isn't playing on Monday so Gears comes on for us.

I named an emergency defender who also didn't play... so do I get my first emergency as OOP or a donut?

OOP I'm pretty sure- we only named them in position to avoid confusion really.


I'm just going to float the concept of a midseason rule reintroduction starting next round (or, if people have a massive issue with a rule change midseason, starting next year I guess). I know the subs have been removed, but I think they still have some form of purpose in euros to mitigate for injuries like the red vest- players were only subbed off before half time if they were injured (even if a player was useless they wouldn't be subbed until the second half), and we still have that happening, nothing has really changed since the removal of the sub.

I reckon put the sub back in for if a player doesn't score after half time- there's very few (if any?) cases of a fit player not scoring a point in the second half, so it basically just covers those injuries at the start of the game that rules someone else out for the rest of the match.

Obviously not implementable until next round, but it's just flowering annoying in a  draft game with only 15 players on field, and injury in the first half wrecks a team so much more than in normal fantasy formats.

Holz, your call I guess (or you can take it to a vote if you're on the fence).
