[BB2] Journeymen replacements for injured players- how do they work?

I just got out of a particularly punishing match playing as Lizardmen against Chaos that ended with my kroxigor and and a saurus missing their next game.

In a Lizardman team, you want to have the maximum amount of saurses possible (6) to protect your little guys, but everytime I've played a match with journeymen they have been skink players.

If I play my next match, will I be able to use a journeyman saurus or will I just end up with 2 more skinks? I did some digging on the web for my answer and the closest I came was that this blurb on BBTactics explaining "A Journeyman is always a player from a 0-16 allowed position on your team’s roster"

With the journeymen being assigned right at match start, I'd like to know before I go in to my next league match just how many little stunties my terrible lizard linemen have to defend.

Journeymen are always your cheapest player. Snotlings for ogre teams, skinks for the scalies, linemen for humans, orcs, etc. Useful for eating hits but thats about it usually. Sadly til you refill your roster there will be more tiny skinks running around.

Thanks for the response! I'm either in for an exciting next game or I've got to shell out for a saurus

Just a quick FYI for anyone else who happens to be reading this thread in the future, you cannot recruit players above your team limit, even if the people filling that position are injured. I decided to suck it up and see if I could buy a saurus as a replacement, but I can only do that if I fire my old one. I'm up for an interesting 6-skink game in my near future!
