We’ve hit the point in the season where all teams have played each other once each.

Now we can move on to playing the other 5 teams in our own conference for a second time, before the playoffs commence.

A reminder that we split the teams into the two conferences based on draft order.

“Too” has the teams who drafted 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 12

“Serious” has the teams who drafted 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11


This is an interesting time of the season to check the standings after we’ve all played each other an equal number of times.

Shoutout to @stowie who has the highest points scored against him across all three leagues. The defending Premier League champion has been up against it all season!

On the other side of things, @Lethal has had the least points scored against them across all three leagues!

@James84 easily has the best record across the leagues, still being undefeated!

We don’t have any winless teams, however two are on 1-10, with one of them @costak almost breaking through for their 2nd win (in a row too) this week with a 13 point loss! Despite being just 1-10, there are 9 other teams who have scored less than this team across the leagues. The other team 1-10 is @headmandude who seems to have checked out after the disappointment of missing his draft due to new parenthood responsibilities and drafting Lamello with pick #4 – even on a per-game basis he’s not even top-25 so far, and we know he’s missed most of the season. Headmandude is also the lowest scorer across the three leagues, averaging less than 1000 per round.

@Sparks is the leading scorer so far, averaging a whopping 1356.7 per round!

@crossy has made the most acquisitions so far, making 50 of a possible 51 moves! The only matchup where he didn't max out his acquisitions was in round 9 where he lost for the first time since round 1, so we probably wont see it again.
