Well done mate - cracking score.

Can't believe they don't chuck in something for a weekly prize to encourage people to keep playing the game (other than for eliminator) and logging in as the season goes on.

Still in 10th despite playing 15.

What could have been.

i knew my shite 805 points would result in losing rank from 17th to 22nd
getting cleary this week but only 3 trades left & will have to use 2 trades

I think the Eliminator is up to the last 256.

So far, we have the following teams (all VSDT veterans) still alive:

Pacey
Bullbender
Code Delta
Oz Sport Mad
B/L
White Lightning

***EDIT***

UKJC

That makes 7, one short of having enough to fill the quarter-finals. Do we have anyone else?

I’m out, lost 896 v 1005. Captained Watson which obviously didn’t go well and a couple of my PODs had pretty poor games compared to my opponent’s.

Team feels pretty strong on paper after 2 trades this week so hoping to make some overall gains through the last few rounds.

Grant Hands
Haas AFB Cotter Stefano
Yeo Fifita Watson Crichton Carrigan Haumole
Cleary Hughes Brown Galvin
Wighton Garrick Iro Hodgson
Teddy Turbo Ponga Campbell Sharpe

433k in bank & 4 trades left.

Are we down to last 128 or last 64?

I think it must be 128 as when you get down to 64 it shows all the matchups down the bottom. Well previous years it did

This is my understanding too.

How could you doubt me Oz?

Round 14 = Top 4,096
Round 15 = Top 2,048
Round 17 = Top 1,024
Round 18 = Top 512
Round 20 = Top 256
Round 21 = Top 128
Round 22 = Top 64
Round 23 = Top 32
Round 24 = Top 16
Round 25 = Top 8
Round 26 = Top 4
Round 27 = Top 2 (Final)

NB: It's surprising that they have the Final in Round 27, instead of in Round 26 (like the h2h Grand Finals).

Nah it was because I only skimmed it and thought it started from the top 2048 (but in fairness to me, the wording they use is stupid).

Basically this will be my best 17 + 18-25 to last me until R27... doubt I can avoid injuries/restings but YOLO! 1 trade left after I bring in Cleary and got a good enough replacement player (in each position) if someone goes down. I just hope I finish in top 10 with this mob.

HOK: BBrailey
FRF: AFB, Tapine, May
2RF: Yeo, Fifita, Curran, Nikora
HLF: Cleary, Hughes, Brown, Galvin
CTR: Garrick, Holmes
WFB: Trbo, Teddy, Iro

Reserves: Mahoney, Henry, Plath, KPP, Manu, Weekes
Nuffies: Aitken, Sharpe

Crazy good performances from you guys still in the Eliminator. I know it's a portion of luck, but seems to be the same folks around the top of both the overall leaderboard and the Eliminator every year or two. Form is temporary etc etc..

One trade this week for me, Weekes - Haas via jiggery pokery. Means leaving out May, Fainu, Plath et al from the 17. Would you guys swap out Curran for either of those 3? I have TMM in my 17 too, but hoping for a blitz vs the Tigers so he stays.

my eliminator opponent off to a fast start that is not good karma for me but it is for him so big ups to whoever BillionDollarBabys is...94-355 he has afb 88, j. hughes 64, grant 58 & e. katoa 51 that's a 65 point average from his differential players & none of mine have played yet.

I am through comfortably.

i just want to give a shoutout to liam henry who is in my team...if you take out his big min games where he started due to origin rests & take out the round 5 game where he played just 8 minutes you are left with this when he comes off the bench as per normal
11 games minutes average 36 mins (his range of mins are from 30-42)
11 games score average 44 points (his range of scores are from 27-72)
this gives him a ppm of 1.2

One i missed , he will be a fantasy gun of the future. Should be ok in eliminator, I lost JFH which made it tight but he took the C off Chin to loop so that gave me a leg up unless my 3 remaining players go down.

ended up winning 1123-1034

Well done. To the final 64 we go. Got that far last year then bundled out. Hopefully a few others got through
