Hi Everyone,
The first Bye Round (12) is run and done thankfully and just 2 more of these dreaded Rounds to go.
Hopefully you can all find a way to get 18 scorers on the field for the next 2 weeks as every win is important now with just the 7 games to go.
Round 12 Results:
Hannibals Leftovers was sitting pretty in 2nd spot on the ladder heading into this Round and would of fancied himself as a good chance for a Bounty.
Lockout (@o07) was having none of that though and put up a strong a Bye week super score of 1943.
Hannibals 1728 would of beaten a lot of others this week but unfortunately he ran into the leagues top scorer of the Round.
Hannibals drops down to 4th spot on the ladder now while Lockout despite the great win, slides out of the 8 on percentage.
Piston Broke picked up a rare win over the weekend and severely dented Playing for Draft Picks finals chances in the process.
The Pistons winning 1607-1505 over the Picks.
The Picks are now 4 games out of the 8 with 7 to go so will need one hell of a winning streak to make it from here.
Lions4Life consolidated his spot in the 8 with a strong 1689 - 1488 win over Buffalo Bisons.
Lions4Life is in 6th spot and just one game out of the Top 4.
The Bisons like the Picks is now 4 wins out of the 8 and almost curtains for the year.
Our league leader Medhurst Minions was completely untroubled in his 1661 - 911 victory over I Wear Footy Pajamas.
The Minions remain undefeated on top of the ladder.
Adro's Assassin survived a huge scare to defeat 18th placed Kulate in a thriller, 1673 - 1644.
It was an important win as it keeps the Assassins in the Top 8 percentage ahead of Lockout.
BraphB also dodged a bullet against Just2Random and keeps his chase alive for top spot.
BraphB just getting over the line 1590 - 1580.
With that win, BraphB moves into 2nd on the ladder and just a game off the league leader.
Mmeow stamped her authority in a huge 1712 - 1047 victory over DBLSTR.
Mmeow picked up some much needed percentage in that win and this is keeping her in 3rd spot for now.
Yet another top 8 side in Niges Cats was pushed all the way by a team much lower on the ladder.
The Steemit Huskies have been good value this year and proven to be a tricky opponent despite being out of contention.
Niges Cats just got the win 1753 - 1734 and remains out of the Top 4 on percentage only.
My team (@dahmsy79) got a much needed reprieve and percentage booster against the incomplete NZL9500.
My 1793 score was enough to rocket me into 7th spot on the ladder but I am only percentage away from dropping back out of the 8.
In the last game of the round Little Old Lady kept his slim finals chances alive with a 1591 - 1130 victory over Cunning Stunts is Back Again.
The Old Lady is 3 games out of the 8 with 7 games to go.
So after Round 12 the Top 8 looks like this:
Medhurst Minions 48
BraphB 44
Mmeow 40
Hannibals Leftovers 40
Niges Cats 40
Lions4Life 36
Dahmsy79 36
Adro's Assassins 36
Taking a look forward to Round 13 and the matches that will have a bearing on the Top 8 are:
Hannibals Leftovers will be wanting to bounce back from a rare loss to ensure he keeps his spot in the Top 4.
Hannibals is up against 12th placed Playing for Draft Picks who will want to keep her mathematical chances of making the 8 alive.
Lockout (@o07) slid out of the 8 on percentage despite a ripping Fantasy performance and will want to keep the pressure on the top 8 teams.
He won't have an easy task though against the 6th place Lions4Life who is trying to maintain his spot in the Top 8.
I can't see the first defeat of the year coming yet for the Minions as he is playing the 17th ranked side (Piston Broke) but in bye weeks you just never know.
Adro's Assassins is clinging to his spot in the Top 8 and needs to keep winning.
He plays the 11th placed Buffalo Bisons who will want to keep his slim finals chances alive.
BraphB should have no problems keeping his spot in the Top 2 against the 19th placed I Wear Footy Pajamas.
Likewise Mmeow should beat Kulate to maintain the pressure on the Top 2 but Kulate has been a little improved of late so it is a possible banana skin game for Mmeow.
Niges Cats plays the out of contention Just2Random who can be a tricky opponent on his day.
My heavily bye effected team (@dahmsy79) plays the 15th placed DBLSTR who might fancy his chances of a bye week upset.
That's it for this weeks review.
I wish you all the best with your bye week trades and hope you can juggle your way to at least 18 players on the field.
Good Luck all :)
My inclusion of Sidebottom to replace Tom Mitchell as Captain turned out to be an inspired choice in a close game.
