Scored 1,250 this week, which might be my highest ever score in this comp.

DCE and Fifita the let downs.

Shame I'm nowhere near winning anything

Great score Milch. Second-highest for the round!

Up to 3rd overall, got top 2 in sights!

Been paying close attention to your team as I've been trying to run you down last few weeks in the league but my lack of trades has caught up to me.

I don't think 1st is out of site if they are out of trades.

Your possible 17 this week looks much stronger than them as they need to take an AE if no trades left.

I will be watching with interest.

My lack of trades is going to catch up with me these last 2 weeks I think and just hoping for a miracle to stay in the top 10.

Haha I’ve been using your team as my yardstick the past few weeks! Basically if I was beating your score I was doing well.

I also have been tracking the top teams around me and I reckon the top 2 teams are out of trades (they both still have Cleary). Also a big POD is I have Tturbo and they don’t. Let’s see how I go these final 2 weeks!

Best of luck @Roger8

well done bro you're in the hunt you should be very proud of yourself with the season you're having.

Didn't score too badly this round but dropped to 4th and noticed @arakaan scoring well and moving to 5th, 27 points behind me.

I guess there is still a chance as last week's #1 dropped alot of points this week and 1st is only 117 points ahead of me. Turbo out this week (my main POD) hurts but still hopefully a chance for top 2!

The Spoon League Round 5 (of 5)
ST v NW

Round 1 (R23): NW won 939-935
Round 2 (R24): ST won 1012-786
Round 3 (R25): ST won 1048-906
Round 4 (R26): ST won 1061-766

ST leads 3-1 with only 1 round to go, so NW is just playing for pride this week.

My season has been well and truly over since the first third of the season, where I was sitting pretty comfortably outside the top 1000 and was languishing in 3rd last on the FOG.
So haven't had a lot to play for since then, other than trying to get myself into the top 100.....which I finally did this week.

Funnily enough though, this has been one of my more enjoyable season's trying to come from that far back and making gains each week, rather than going out hard and hanging on.
Something satisfying about seeing your rank improve each week....rather than going to shit.
That said, it's still a poor strategy and reinforces that the only way to ever challenge in this comp is to go really hard early, disregard planning for byes and hang on for grim death at the end.
Note to self for 2025.

Unfortunately, it is only a temporary top 100, as I have been out of trades for weeks (thanks to going for eliminator glory....and nice to see the bloke that beat me into the final) and although I have been crazy lucky to field exactly 17 for the last few weeks, my luck has finally run out this week.

Good luck to the blokes in the top 10 - hope you win some cash.

Shirley I loop Hughes’ 138 points

Season over and couldn’t quite get to the top and finished 4th overall. Think I did well just to stay in the top 10 considering I had to hold out the final 6 rounds with just 1 trade. Definitely my best year ever in VSDT and should hopefully receive $75 for my efforts!

So near, yet so far. Congrats on a great season, which saw you finish on top of the prestigious FOG.

Round 2 (R24): ST won 1012-786
Round 3 (R25): ST won 1048-906
Round 4 (R26): ST won 1061-766
Round 5 (R27): ST won 1014-789

ST wins the series 4-1, so NW wins the wooden spoon for the NW league. Well done mate.

P.S. I finished 11th in the league on overall points, but could only manage 17th on the h2h ladder.

Well done on 4th Roger.

I was glad I had a decent buffer to 10th in the last week as I really was quite a bit off the pace without Hughes when every other bastard had him VC.

Cheers

finished at rank 57 which is a bit of disappointment from my angle but i'm rapt for roger what an outstanding season finishing 4th well done bro.

The charge ran out of steam finishing in 14th.

Still a good season and happy with the result.
