League Leaderboard

[Yoggington]

Week 3, and top score of the week goes to Maison Ikkoku - not bad for a guy that posted his trades for the week in the public Meat Market thread and asked if he was doing it right A strong player last year, survivorfantasy raises her head in the top five too, with all of Snakewing, Vidalia Onion & current leader  taterman rounding out the top five. Five more players score above the 230 cut-off for a quality score this week.

At the wrong end of the table, seven players score less than 200 and we start to see the effects of a forced extra trade -30 here and there. But maybe the short-term hits here can translate to long term benefits for these teams.

With the focus on GenX this week instead of the Millenials, we see a different batch of players making gains. Taterman's blend the only constant week to week.




Overall, the top three is unchanged compared to last week, with taterman 's taterpigs bolstering their lead at the top over @skoofyken & Duck . The bottom four end of the table is unchanged too, with all the real movement happening in the mid-tiers. Of these, Snakewing & Vidalia Onion make the biggest gains with their solid scores to both eke their way into the top 10. Roxy & Effy both take double-digit tumbles.

A lot of teams here separated by the slimmest of margins. Every trade or captaincy counts!

The scores are in, and it's gerbil sitting atop the weekly leaderboard with a pretty stonking 385 from a possible 451 for a perfect team! It's a very small gain to make on leader taterman though, as he's only 2 points behind for the week. Low placed yope , mid-table A2K2 , and top ten amethyst round out the top five all scoring over 350.

At the wrong end of the table, Effy is carrying on the Steve Zissou torch with a traditional last-place, scoring a third of the points of the top teams. Meanwhile Randy's Minions & Duck might also be questioning their unorthodox tactics.

Overall, there's no change at the top, as taterman 's taterpigs solidify their lead. amethyst moves into second from fourth, and gerbil 's showing sees him crack the top five too. Big jump in placement for A2K2 too.

Taking the hard hits this week are once great Roxy slipping right down low, Duck with a 12 position slide, and melanie with a steep drop too. Having removed shnozmuffler for inactivity, Randy's Minions takes over the wooden spoon slot. Cartwright also stepped aside this week to bring our total down to 25 teams. that meant an auto spot jump for some - so all you people making low table gains, don't get too confident.



For those slipping out of contention, all is not lost! This week see the start of the Fantasy Cup - where past performance means nothing, and current form is all the rage! Head to head knock-outs means any team can beat any other in any given week, so fret not!

More details on this in a day or two.

I remember a time Roxy was 1st.

[Vidalia Onion]

Boo at losing.

[Modesty]

How dare you. Duck's strategy is flawless, season after season.

[amethyst]

alol, what a crock!! I have no idea what I'm doing, how can I be second???

[Yoggington]

Tallys are in, and it's scoofyken sat atop the weekly count with an impressive 341 from a potential 357. taterman 's Taterpigs are everpresent with second place for the second week in a row. Meanwhile yope 's Little Joeys have another week near the top too, for good gains. Eenie Meeenie Miney melanie 's team take third position which is good news for her cup run. Anyone clocking above 300 here should be happy with a good return for the week.

At the bottom, the familiar trio of Randy's Minions , Duck and Effy are joined by Vidalia Onion & TMM - who will need to get their houses in order pronto.

Overall, there's no change at the top as taterman shows no sign of letting his grasp on first place slip. There is a lot of one-place movements through the rest of the top ten though. scoofyken , shmady , Snakewing , A2K2 all gain a spot at the expense of those who used to be one above them. The bigger jumps and slides come further down, yope climbs six, melanie climbs five & danielle climbs four. gino , Vidalia Onion & TMM all slide into no mans land.
