Game Day 2023 Round 20 Discussion - Club Experimentation Time

[Biggie]

Open!

 

[Sherman41]

Nice rank rise, still hunting a top 10k finish. Will be tough with 0 trades left.

 

[weltschmerz]

woo.

 

[Jiska]

A mediocre 2489 without Gulden or Zerrett. Held my rank tho, so there’s a positive I guess.

 

[kyri]

Friday morning changes cost me an extra 60 with my C and another 90 with my trade in.

I'm still clearly not over it.

I suppose it could've been worse..

 

[TheDoor]

Highest round ranking this year.


Watch me have the lowest round ranking next week!

 

[JuddgementDay]

LOL - they were watching The Ashes too at headquarters and only opened when it was the last over to the lunch break

Anyway, 2,640 was enough to nudge me upwards 1.6K to overall ranking of 12,093 - so 10K is in still in sight
Which will be no problems with zero trades left

 

[No eye deer]

Finally cracked the top 10,000.
Finished second in Cash League heading into finals.
2 trades remaining.
C’mon Aussies!

 

[SC_Power]

New target: 4 weeks to make up 240 spots….. hoping a few donuts start to make their way into top teams reaching for the wall.

 

[Biggie]

 

[THECHIEFTON]

I'm assuming I got a score over 2000, so all good

Sure as hell not going to spoil my night by checking how much by butt.

I checked. Can confirm it was over 2k.

Can also confirm it's probably for the best you don't look at it.

 

[G0ats]

Not sure how to answer.


Someone who still has trades up their sleeve

or

Someone who gave up on SC 11-12 years ago because I moved overseas and couldn't manage my team well enough when games kicked off in the middle of the night.

Returning now though

I remember you. Never forget a name like that.

 

[TempletonTheRat]

best round rank for many years and almost into the top 5000 EDIT: my best round rank ever


its been a long slow climb up the rankings

 

[Scythe94]

2,675 and down two spots. That might be a first for me, lol.

My Mills and J Cameron loop continues to deliver. 50 this week

Everyone else pretty good though.

 

[No eye deer]

Looks like a sickie tomorrow. Recovering from the Bali trip with red wine and cricket.
Keep going Aussies!

 

[Blackhawk42]

Will probably use my final trade this week and kick back for the final 4 weeks, praying there are no injuries.
On track for my second best overall ranking ever.

 

[jdeezy]

2502 and I continue to tread water since the bye.



Still, finished top of Div 3 thanks to a few lucky match ups when I needed them, and a couple of trades sitting in the back pocket. Time for some carnage to start rising the ranks.

the level of scoring required to maintain your position at this rank is nuts

woo.

Heading in the right direction at least.

 

[kreglze]

2744, looking to crack that top 10k. Just a couple of spaces out of it now.

[stevebbb]

Scored 2595 and stayed at ~3000 rank. Been hovering at 3k since round 10 (hit 2200 once and hit 4000 once, the rest near 3000).

Is it just me, or is it very hard to make up ground? Teams too similar? I actually have a decent amount of unique players in my match-ups, so teams aren't exactly identical, but the unique players have high ownership, like 20%-50%. Back in the day, unique players were genuine PODs, sub 10% ownership. Now it seems like there's a pool of 30-40 premos and everybody has 22 of that lot.

Yeah it's full-on haha. One bad score from a low ownership player (Mills in this instance) and you're nearly guaranteed to drop.

Youre right it is hard to move spots now. There was too many trades this year imo.

With so many trades i think the right tactic is to get to full premo asap, get into the top1000, then just try to hang on. I ve been oscillating between rank 350 and 650 for about 8 weeks.

I scored 2546 and barely moved up a few hundred places. I'm ranked 14k lol.
