BBFFL#2 2017 Discussion

1267 is a encouraging score missing effectively 3 players, 2 donuts and lamb on 1

Over the last four weeks Iā€™ve scored 1375, 1468, 1435, 1379. Average of 1414. Not good enough to get a single win. Tough gig, this one lol.

Well done, Smooth. Too good.

A decent Sunday , even to averages and Iā€™d have been up around 1470. Plus the Beams injury and id have likely been through the 1500 barrier for the first time.

Five scores under 40, only 2 injury driven. Really Disappointing.

Surprised to get the highest score this round. Well below par, but no Gazza and Heath Shaw putting in a stinker in his 250th and can still crank out a 1500+ score. I knew Mathieson would be a good DT player, I think wob will get many years of good service out of him.

With 9 players out when teams were released Iā€™m not sure I expected much more than what I got, Iā€™d say comfortably my lowest ever scoreā€¦

Donā€™t care if I donā€™t win another game this season, that was the only one I cared about. :slight_smile:

I didnā€™t even turn up. My team is terrible this year.

3-4 for Beams. Bugger.

Steele got a tonne of footy in the Vfl. He surely comes back in.

Iā€™ve put up a score in my bottom 5 ever and worst score since round 18 2014.

Iā€™m still sitting 4th, but the wheels appear to have fallen off. Iā€™m 2 games clear of 9th, with a good ā€œpoints forā€ score, but 5 rounds remaining. My cumulative score for the season has fallen to 6th best.

Injuries and non-selection have crushed me, and the stop-gap players Iā€™ve brought in to field 18 just arenā€™t good fantasy players.

I need Hall back from injury as well as Smith, Turner and Wellingham to get selected. JJ Kennedy wonā€™t make it back, Salem has gone down and Rioli and Wells are still out for the long haul. This is all compounded by the fact that start of season keepers in Miles and Savage havenā€™t been able to cement spots in their respective teams.

Hope I can notch enough wins to stay in the 8, and get everyone back in time for finals so I can at least threaten to disrupt someoneā€™s run.

Random table for the week

This table shows how each team has performed on a weekly basis compared to other teams. The weekly ranking is purely how your score compares to others in the competition, ie the highest scoring team is ranked 1st, while the lowest scoring team is ranked 18th. After 14 rounds there is clearly a direct correlation between weekly rankings and ladder positions. It also shows that almost all teams have the ability rank highly.

For comparsion this is how this table looked in 2016.

Things are getting worse for the Merchants. The team that put up my worst score in three years now loses Salem and Curnow, and gains no-one of consequence. Free agency should still get me 18 players, but this weekā€™s score will be even worse than last. Put your house on Sal.

Wonā€™t be calling it match of the round then on this summary!
