That is a lot. Maybe some traded him or just having fun with their VC?

Tohu 37.5%
Angus 26%
Burton 13.4%
Butcher 1.7%

Some purely H2H players?

Although if you top 1000 surely you do a little bit to keep the scores going in the bye weeks

An even better point! I will ask them.

TPJ is 3.1% captain too, that's surely mainly a Tohu/Angus trade.

Robson 1.3% - I didn't captain (he was my VC), but feels low. Seems like someone that is rated way higher here than other fantasy groups

Imagine being rank 1st, but only in it for H2H

Yeah, must be that.

Most of them have Nicho or Haas as VC.

I'm H2H leaning but still update my team for overall, I guess a few don't!

A few free ranks for everyone here hopefully.

Oh so you're saying some of them are like benchwankers? would you call them captainwankers?

Benchwankery is where you intentionally leave playing players in EMG so you get them auto in and rank jump at the end to mess with league rivals but they see its going to happen anyways so pretty pointless. I've 2 in EMG just from laziness

Only has 4.3% ownership total, so feels like a lot of his owners are here too

Not according to google.

It seems lot of it occurs in a park, but not always. Sometimes a school. Seems more investigation required.




Leave it with me.

Wow, your stats site has even better functionality than I thought

Nothing more harmful than telling young men to bottle their emotions. Both to their own safety and those around them. We should all be encouraged to share and check in with each other

Yeah, but what about the collective force of benchwankery- the beautiful collective of benchwankers from all over the planet working together in harmonious union so that people see their ranks plummet just a little bit more than expected at the start of the last game? Benchwankers strong together, fight the good fight.

For me it’s more about the massive Overall jump during the last game.

I tried wanking my bench this round, but most of my players this round play in the last game so could only manage 3 players to be pulled in come last game

Score update after 1 game
0/0, with 0 points in NPR

Dropped 800 ranks so far

You know SI, we two are really alike, two sides of the same coin if you will. Now if you will only use your benchwankery powers for evil instead of good, then we can rule the galaxy as father and son.

I don't own Burton, Tago or May - my ranking is going to fall like jumping out of a plane without a parachute tonight.

People trading Averillo in -

What happens in 3 weeks when he goes back to CTR his 17 average? Will he make enough cash in his time at fullback? I am a greedy bastard who needs to make cash. How sad will I be when he doesn't provide the goods?
