I'm ranked 16k and own all seven of them, and started with six of them (all bar Hynes who I bought last week for Fifita)

I imagine M King was popular but a lot of that 2k jumped on R2 and R3

PLAYER NAME COUNT
1. Chris Randall 1999
2. Nicholas Hynes 1997
3. Brad Schneider 1986
4. Max King 1970
5. Payne Haas 1958
6. Izack Tago 1939
7. Stephen Crichton 1934

After that number 8 on the list is Papy at 1788, so falls off steeply.

You can pretty much gauge how your season is going by how many of them are in your team. I have 5 of them, with rank 11k after round 3, (missing Haas and Tago).

If my quick SQL query is correct, 1708 of the king owners in the current top 2000 had him from the start of the season.

After only a couple of rounds, of course the people who own the highest scoring players are going to get ranked higher.

If lazy ass Fifita had busted out a century last night then his ownership in the top 2000 would shoot up as well.

Also, I have every one of the top 8 players there (started with all except Haas) , but sadly I ain't near the top 2000. Probably because I didn't captain Haas in Rd 1, or Hynes in Rd3

Not as bad as mine  

Ipap- 59
Fifi- 44
Fifi- 47

Last week was dumb. Thought Fifi was due for a big game but not to be. Captain Hynes this week to steady the ship.

What are the odds on Ivan tonning up?

mattnz wrote:An interesting stat is the ownership of Ilias @ 1451 of the top 2000 teams, despite being about the worst performed popularly owned player, his ownership is double what it is overall.

It seems to indicate that he was a bad pick that was common in serious player's teams, who got the rest of the picks right, so was picked more often than in casual teams.

OR

The alternative hypothesis is that many casuals just picked all the most popular players, assuming that would set them on the right path.

Could potentially be lots of players that don't really know what they are doing at the top. Just selecting the highest owned players got them in the top 2,000.
