1027 to his 1034. Cracking scores, you're both winners to me.

Brutal mate. How's the arm?

WT Winfield wrote:Downdates have landed on desktop.

I ended up with 1053, 40th for the round. Moved up 300 spots to 564th Fingers crossed I can dodge more landmines and would be over the moon to finish top 500.

Awesome score mate. Sorry I gave you zero competition in the eliminator - gave me an absolute belting.

Well done to lots of  you cracking scores.

Beautiful. I ended up on a very bad 951 . Better than some but worse than most I feel.

Rabs, LB - you're both doing great this year. You're in the top 1,000 out of 220,000 teams, and the top 50 or so of the best performing fantasy community around.  Better still, you've got more trades left than most, so you've got time to move up the ranks further and enjoy the carnage of the last few rounds.

Thanks heaps guys (I owe whoever created that emoji like a million dollars in royalties).

You had me worried most of the weekend JM, just the Cows vs Eels game with your Moses and Robson going way unders and Drink going way over for me that sealed it. Cook vs DCE made it look worse than it was. Roughly same price/average/ceiling but luck went my way this week.

Just noticed I'm currently 4th in the monthly. 34 points behind with 1 week left to play

Nice.

Another blow for Camo, I'm afraid, I have you in fantasy fantasy.

Good luck with the KFC

Great score still mate! Well done.

All of this.

Cheers mate

And to echo those sentiments.. anything top 2500-3k is a badass finish in my book. A few years of not playing and having nothing to do but watch consistent top 100-300 guys slip back in the thousands some years due to bad luck, injuries, timing etc. has taught me that.

One sliding doors moment for me was getting Drinkwater instead of JCampbell way back in Rd 10. I might not even be top 2k if not for that one 50/50 where Drink playing the bye finally swayed me.

Was nice for five seconds to feel chuffed about picking the right captain...

But, pretty happy still with a 988 and rank 456 -> 397.

Nikora a bit disappointing, but if Ramien's 62 and Nikora's 38 were reversed, before the game I would have gladly taken them. Nikora better than my loop there anyway, NAS. Considered Harris too, so another win .

Well done to the 1000+ club.

Yeah I'd kill for a top 2500-3k finish, I've only done that well twice (147 in 2019, 2.4k in 2021) and am currently 4.3k coming off a score of 915.

After a great start, stumbled to 949. Gained about 100 spots to be just outside of the top 3000. If I can sneak in at 2500 or thereabouts I'd be stoked. Onwards!

Everyone complaining about scores similar or higher than mine and I'm stoked with my 940 all things considered! Roll on next round.

Us Cleary non-owners got away with it this week and I'm grateful for that, and (pending any TLT fuckery) I've got my trades pretty much set with Cleary and Walsh coming back in.

WT Winfield wrote:Jagged 1085 before the Cleary downdate. Bit of a fuckup trading Butcher to him and captaining

Only 4 trades left to try to rebalance the squad. Burning a 3rd on Preston wasn't in the plan.

Well done on your week 1 of our league finals victory! DCE and Ramien really came through for you. Enjoy the week off and we shall meet again……I hope.

Thanks mate! Must've been the good karma from cheering you on each week. You've still got me by 19 points overall, so hopefully can follow you up

The momentum I gained from the victory over Random last week can't be understated too. People probably thought I was crazy to give up the bye, but I definitely knew what I was doing

Just caught up, serially impressed with the ones who smash over 1000 every week

Looks like I’ve beaten bludger in league 2

No idea how I did in eliminator but imagine camo slapped me

Lost ranks overall but back on it next week, aim is top 1k will need some luck

Looks like the midnight elves have made more updates.

Garrick +5 to 58 and Manu +2 to 45. I picked up another 2 points somewhere else too. Maybe Drink or DCE. Hasn't been added to the scores yet.

Murray had updated by a point when the Tigers/Dragons game updated too.

Hey Jele, this is the part that irks me the most though. Could have quite easily used them this week to avoid Bulas and Simos dud scores but froze up and chose not to use them.

Was too worried about them being wasted. That’s on me and hopefully I find better uses for them over the coming rounds
