Competition Rate the Opposition MVP – Season 39

[Gralin]

Sounds like we need less squad depth and a better spread across the league

But nah, you're correct. It's flawed, but it just needs to be taken for what it is, which is better than nothing (but by no means a cut-and-dried indicator of individual posting quality across the SFA).

That being said, I'd be open to making it a a 5-4-3-2-1 poll if it assisted in that regard.

• Plan A is obviously encouraging people to get involved every week and chasing up votes when required. I can be annoyingly persistent
• Plan B is putting some of the responsibility on the club captains (hopefully it won't be too much of an ask for them to vote, or encourage voting amongst their team). Tallies of each team's respective voting records will be kept and posted alongside the weekly voting results, so it'll be easy to see who's not pulling their weight.
• Plan C (last resort) is auto votes based off posting volume (i.e. top three posters for that week get votes). Obviously, I hope to never use this as it'd just encourage post spamming, but it's a break glass in case of emergency option.

I should have the Demons votes to you once squads and fixture are finalised for the season

 

[DenieD]

As usual, you are absolutely correct.

Scythe94 I am self-appointing my sumptuous arse as the s39 winner. I'll also hermit crab myself into the s33 one, and the s34 one too as DenieD doesn't want it anymore.

 

[GWS Goose]

Good on you, Scythe94. Looking forward to the results. Will try to remember to contribute my own if I'm around this season!


Unfortunately it's an extremely flawed metric for All-Sweet FA selection, and therefore should be considered very carefully; it essentially disadvantages deeper squads (as teammates are 'competing' against one another for votes).

I agree it is imperfect for exactly that reason.

But infinitely better than currently where it is essentially ignored.

Is everything OK at home mate?

Is everything OK at home mate?

I assume so

I'm at the shops though so I can't be certain

But infinitely better than currently where it is essentially ignored.

When comparing teammates, sure.

I can now provide a fully accurate and informed answer to this question if you'd like

wait to I segue it into the farcical selections in the SFA team

I'd say I fought hard for you to be in the team but you'll be able to see for yourself that I'm lying
