Yeah all of this, congrats Booze and everyone else achieving stuff.

My name is The Bludger.
As a Newcastle supporter I endorse the above message.

Wtf happened to Tapine?

Oh yeah ... and a huge congrats to Booze.

I dropped 8 spots already to 227

Must've been Ramien's negatives at the end being applied. Stats guys jumping all over those unlike his attacking stats last week.

After vowing not to look until the weekend was done it looks like I managed to hang on to a top 100 spot and top 16 FOG finish

Hopefully updates don’t pull any major shocks.

Congratulations to everyone who is happy with their finish and great to see so many fanatics killing it!

Commiserations to Booze, the last round leaves a bit of a bad taste but you fought the good fight and were generous with your advice….pretty much the opposite of he who shall not be named (that’s right Voldemort ) the humourless little shunt.

Massive weekend for me, 917 and in from 250th to 109th, and secured a spot in L1 again!

Great work, was that just to spite @noworries and his quip during the week?

Awesome finish

Looks like I managed to climb a few more ranks to 54th. Pretty happy with the result

Pretty funny that the main captain options DCE/Cleary/Hynes all scored about the same in the end.

As PODS vs Booze, third place* had Koula, H Graham, Tino, and Tapine.

What a roller coaster of a weekend for him.

*its close and updates to come.

Commiserations to Booze. Hell of a year and you deserved to hang on for one more day but not to be

Some great results for the fanatics crew this season with some great new posters joining the club

As for me I managed to pull off a fantastic rescue job on the rank for the last round 1061 takes me to just inside the top 4000 and 3rd for the monthly*. Nearly managed to claw back a 250 point deficit on the leader this week

* pending updates

If he just had faith in his PODs and went with the Hynes/Cleary/DCE captain he would have taken 2nd fairly comfortably

I'm definitely building #momentum.

20th last year and 19th this year. On that basis, 2041 will be my year for the win!

Pretty crazy though, probably the two best season's I'll ever have and they were back to back, but not quite good enough for some KFC.

Will definitely look back on this one as a "what might have been", whereas last season was more a late charge. Without the disastrous trade I made last week I think there's a chance I would have cracked the top 10. A couple others stick out as well like not getting on Horse originally and then getting both Haas and Horse instead of Yeo (due to rd27 resting fears lol!). No complaints though, stoked with the season.

great years back to back mate!

Congratulations, Booze, on a fantastic season!! We’re all really proud of your achievements and for most of us, a top 10 finish is beyond the realm of our imaginations.

Well done to all of us Fanatics for absolutely smashing it in a year where we had to rethink our strategy and planning and dealing with the eoy bullshit.

I’ve, for now, am finishing in the top 600(second time ever, I believe) and snuck into League 3 next year. As the old saying goes, when you find yourself in the shit, just keep walking.

Pending updates looks like I'm going to finish around 31st, so not as good as last years 16th but still a very good result I can be happy with.

Last season my team came home like a freight train whereas this year with all the outs the last couple of weeks I faded badly.

I managed to go back to back in the Dragons league and win it for the 2nd year in a row, and this time it wasn't due to an unfortunate final round HIA which gave me opportunity last year.

Congratulations to all those who managed to do well, and thank you to all who offered advice and shared their opinions with everyone throughout.

Commiserations to those who suffered a less than stellar season, just remember we all have good and bad seasons and all get to start at the same point next year. So if things didn't go your way this season there is no reason it can't go the other way for you next time.

Ended 664 pre-updates. Had the pre-season goal of top 1000 and a very late season charge got me there. Very happy with the result.

2020: 30kㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
2021: 9k ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ
2022: 3k
2023: 650
2024: Top 250

Cheers for all the advice this year folks, I've definitely done better by following more often rather than going out on my own (still ruing those Cotter/Arey/Meaney picks). Will do even more of it next year!

Season Graph (minor increase in round 27):

Ended on 187th pre updates which is my personal best so happy with that! 

Could’ve made plenty of decisions better to make top 100, left plenty of points on the board, so that’ll be my goal next year

Happy with 43rd overall as I was barely hanging on to a top 50 finish over the last few weeks. Might have actually made something of myself this round if I didn't cop the anti-PODs of Drinkwater, Graham and Tapine but 810 seems like a good result for this shithouse round
