Stunning and brave mate! If it’s any consolation I’ve had my worst season in a decade sitting at high 5000’s. Here’s to ripping it up next year!

I think it was 2017, not sure. But I was low 200’s and dreaming of a massive last Round to get my first ever Top 100 finish. I ended up ranked 900 odd with a low 800’s final Round score.

But yeah, everyone just prognosticating.

Don't be down on yourself. That's an impressive streak of improved rankings throughout most of the season. Missing the first round is always going to put you in a tough position to start, good on you for sticking it out through the year.

I managed to avoid a lot of injury carnage early, which played a big part in getting to the top 50.

But 5 of my last 7 trade-ins have subsequently missed games due to injury/suspension, which is the main reason why my progress stalled. Last week was the first time I hadn't been able to field 17 though

Bad/unlucky trades

Trading Drinkwater in for round 3 after the break probably the biggest mistake.
Zac Lomax was cheaper at the time, things could have been a lot different with just that 1 trade changed.

Other mistake was probably getting Mbye over Marsters as my last trade. Mbye in a vacuum was probably the better trade in, but it left me exposed with lack of coverage (especially as when Mbye was ruled out, the guy who took his spot in the 17 was the guy I traded out for him)

Other iffy one was Randall over Starling. I still think getting a starting hooker is better than a bench option, so next season i'd probably make the equivalent trade again. There was no whispers of Green to Newcastle at the time, that came out of the blue. And Randall got injured anyway

Trading in Munster, TTrbo, Latrell, ACrichton, Capewell all were short term due to injury but not a lot you can do there. With knowledge at the time they were all OK trades (maybe TTrbo was a bit of a risk given his injury history)

Best trades were getting Tedesco and DCE in early. RFM and Robson also provided good cash+scores and I traded both of them out at the right time.

Held Fogarty when some sold, but was one of many to ditch Kurt Mann perhaps a little early.

I bet if you added 900 onto your total for round 1 your rank will be pretty good, well done, better than my first year by miles

No Ponga though so could be going backwards again this round

Faringdon, its not a valid comparison when most teams have played 1 more round than you.

Add 800 to your score (for a pretend round 1 ranking) and see where it would get you for a more realistic idea of your performance


CLimbing 60,000 ranks is not a bad effort/

There will also be a chunk that stopped playing after round 3 who will return next year, not sure what mods will do with them in regards to leagues but it includes some very long term fantasy players

Fuck em !

But seriously, we use the FOG to rank the leagues and I doubt next year will be any different. The integrity of the leagues is important and a reward for peoples hard work through the season, not to mention if Fanhub use Harvey's money to bring back league rankings we want to win it !!! If people didn't come back after round 3 it's on them.

There's been a lot of talk about rankings and leagues. Last year out of 176 entries we had 25 not return. Below is a list of their rankings the previous year

My rankings are a bit of a swirler. Been very up and down this year, but I am super happy that 826 is my lowest rank this year and I have been floating in and around the 100 since R9. Definitely my best year ever, looking to push on even better next year with some more experience under my belt.

Hoping to push my way back into the top 100 these last two rounds. I definitely have the team to do so, they just need to perform!

What’s your points total?

I would guess it you played round 1 (add 750 minimum) that your ranking would be roughly halved. It’s a good first season. No bye weeks to move ahead of H2H players either

Will Brittain have to miss this week because of the head knocks in that period of time ?
