It doesnt work of a PC either. Maybe it has to be done before the start of the tournament?

Readin the rules.

Looks like there is no cut replacement in Majors and a few other events.

I've watched the video, so how does the cut replacement work once unlocked?

Do we have to nominate a substitute player, what happens if they miss the cut?

Leading after week 1, the only way is down!

Hi MU fan,

My take on it is that once you have unlocked cut substitution for the week (which presumably means a weekly viewing of a video of their choice) they will swap up to one member of your team who has missed the cut with a randomly selected player who has made the cut but sits outside the top 10. We don't get to choose, I assume it will be a random selection programme that does this. This week will prove this one way or the other.

Too late to join ML. 3.6millionpoints behind after 1. with Triple captain and the raffle replacement, the skill has gone way more out of this game than in the last couple of years. I was complaining about the double captain last year but going back to that would be a big improvement.

I agree with Filmstar, I have a confirmation message that I watched the video + had a player miss the cut (Scott Hend with his 11 from day 1!!) and the games rules state it will happen automatically and the random selection will appear under your team.

(a) it does not appear
(b) for the record - I don't agree with the rule either

Lost Colsaerts and he was replaced by Carlsson (T32)

Where's the skill in a game that picks a player for you?

The skill is in the strategy of deliberately picking a rubbish guy who is probably going to miss the cut so that you can get a random pick that might be 11th after the second round.

I got Jacquelin for Marc warren. Agree there is no skill in this. Why not give a sub pick rather than a lucky dip.
