The Official Eliminator Thread!

Im vsing a guy who averages 1553. Will field 22 easy. Not an easy match but 1 i should win

 

[flackjack]

I'm vsing someone who scrapped in to score just over 1000 last week. I'm thinking of resting some of my star players, and giving a few of the younger players a run.

Sounds like most people in here have it pretty easy first up.

I am 240th overall and scored 1972 last week, yet i'm coming up against a team (which will have the full 22, unlike most), who averages just under 1700, and could give it a shake with the right players playing well.

I'm a little nervous walking into this first round.

I'm in a similar boat mate. My opponent averages like 1690 but his midfield is crazy and could just go off. I'm a bit edgy about it aswell.

...the way they seem to work it is that they split the total 131,072 teams into two halves...65,536 teams in each half! Then the rankings from lat week match each other up....so the top scoring team from last week is matched up against the top scoring team from the second half (the team ranked 65,537 for the week)...

so it looks kind of like this I ASSUME:
1 vs 65,537
2 vs 65,538
3 vs 65,539 etc etc.

It's been established already that this is not the way the draw has been done.

It seems that top half teams have been matched against bottom half teams, but it is not apparent how these matchups have been decided. It is certainly not a direct result of the weekly ranking.

It is possible that after ranking teams based on the previous round, that the draw has been done based on overall rankings. (This would be quite time consuming to confirm with 100K+ teams) It also makes very little sense.

Another user suggested that the matchups may be based on when you registered your team.

I have submitted the question to the Dreamteam website, and will let you all know if I get a response.

By the sounds of it, I think we need a "I got knocked out in the first round of Eliminator" thread

My opponent is averaging 1070 points, and still has Mark McVeigh in their midfield, and no notable stars in their side at all. I'll be quite annoyed if I lose.....

 

[banana_bus]

My opponent has a solid team. Hes averaging about 1400, but last week got 1600, has no zeroes playing. Looks like he has used about 10 trades.

 

[Hawks2009]

I have a question for you.

If you finish 1st this week, does that mean you play the last ranked DT from this week next week, still left in the eliminator?

 

[chickens_law]

haha, my opponent has Mark Blake and Shannon Watt.

 

[Ricketts]

TABULAH RASA - averages 1450, and scored 1498 last round. Wouldn't want to lose to him.

 

[LJ Garner]

my guy is pretty terrible. average 1635 with 1561 last week.. should be able to anihilate him.

I reckon (from looking at various people's matchups) that your ranking is base on Rd 5 score and that if you are in the best helf of the draw you play RANDOMLY someone in the bottom half. A bit like any knockout competition. So it is a bit of luck involved on who you play. And if you win your Rd 6 matchup, you will be ranked on your Rd 7 score and will randomly play someone in the other half of the draw.

Got a tough choice for DT this week. Got 115k in the bank and want to trade nicoski. Not sure if i should get bradshaw, leaving 6k left, or if i should get bret thornton, leaving 31k left.

Any ideas?

 

[C-Dog]

my guy doesnt have emergencies named and has armfield and ellard starting in his midfield

the carlton stars they are called

 

[Benno_900]

My opponent named Nick Maxwell captain. WTF?

 

[The Sultan]

how long until a "i was beaten by person 100k positions lower then me" thread is started?

 

[pillager]

Nick Maxwell hey?

My opponent has Barry Hall as captain...

Eliminator won't be serious until round 9 onwards

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

[DonMania#5]

My opp has Kirk captain and has Kosi + H.Black on the bench.

 

[TPB86]

There seems to be a lot of junk teams. It makes me think that the website freeze at the first lockdown has caused a lot of players, with teams they had yet to finalise, to say "what the hell" and give up, leaving their team unattended.

Of course others are rubbish because they are too dominated by the person's favourite team and players. I think all those teams will be gone by the next round as the top half is playing the bottom half this week.

It's a great idea though and creates a lot of interest.

Plenty of people do it for fun, hence some crap teams.

It is a rubbish strategy but once a year it might work. The bloke I am playing is 110000ish and he had Didak (c), Cloke, Medhurst, Swan, Pendlebury, Fraser and Shaw.
I should still get him because the rest of his side is rubbish but there is a real chance that I won't if my guns decide not to fire, yet I'll finish at least 80k places higher than him.
