. The only way you can make it different is selecting a third premium ruck.

To me, it’s a no-brainer.

That’s because you lack grey matter you stupid campaigner.

Unless I'm reading this wrong, and that's a distinct possibility, if a Premo Ruck is your Flex, wouldn't you need a playing Ruck or R/F at R3.
If your Flex ruck cops a 2week injury and you don't want to use a trade, then only R3 can be used as your Flex or a Fwd if you play a R/F at R3.
However if you put a Premo D/M or M/F as your Flex, you have all the Premos from those lines to choose from in the same scenario. I would have thought Premo Def and Mids would score higher than R3 Rucks or Fwds on average.

Or does this whole Flex thing just come down to team structure and/or personal choice.

If you have a R/F at R3 you can easily pull the injured ruck out of flex and drop in a premo forward, or mid or def if you have DDP linkage. No need for it to be a DPP. The R3 still sits on the forward bench not scoring it's not a comparison between them and a premo mid/def.

The reason I will go ruck at flex is cover, no need for a trade if a short term ruck injury occurs whereas every other line i'll have cover. Of course you could go playing R3 instead but then you can't loop them - just makes it easier for me to use a consistent C/VC loophole.

What happens if your Captain is injured early during the game and is the lowest score in your team. When the Flexi player replaces him does he become Captain and does his score gets doubled?

No. If C is lowest score it drops out.

No. If C is lowest score it drops out.

Also, I'm fairly certain you don't get your VC doubled in this situation. If C is on field, and plays, and doesn't make your Top 22 (or 18 in byes), bad luck.

Well, it stands to reason some people out there may think that because your C doesn't count, that you'd get your VC doubled...
