    I know its very early days, but with overall points, how far away at this stage is to far way to get up there. Personally I'm just F!@#$%^& unlucky, but would be intrested to know some opinions :) Thanks

    Yeah, at this early stage, you can still really come from anywhere. If your players get on a roll, anything could happen as we've still got many weeks to go.

    @H_Dons I wouldn't be giving up just yet. A few good scores and you could find yourself right up there.

    LAst season after Round 7 i was ranked around 74K. by end of season i peaked at 1500 before finishing about 4000 after shocking last round. So given its only Round 3 i would say top 50,000 could still be in with shot if things go your way.

    74,000th this week took me from 1st to 51st. A decent result given Dempsey came off.

    Anything can happen from here on in. As long as team has a solid foundation and you build it up with the right trades, you would be suprised how much you can claw back.

    From memory I was 120k position after the second round last year. Finished up top 500. My aim was to get highest position I could.

    Just 2 things I did that probably helped me get there;

    Fierce trading - not stupid trading, but trading hard and early to people I thought reliable.
    Getting the right PODs. - can't claw anything back if you follow the crowd.

    Thanks to Walesy and the gang I was able to get most of that right, and a lot of luck needed as well though.
    So I would say most still in the hunt.

    I'm in 3712 position at the moment and think even though I have 24 trades still in the bank that I'm probably too far back to win.
    So honestly the rest of you are stuffed, and should realistically think about structuring up for leagues.

    Then again, I do think those who are in the 50k mark could still come back to top 100. That's doable and a very noteworthy achievement. Winning isn't doable though.

    I'm around 2700th and probably too far back to do any damage, Round 1 killed me.

    So consensus here might be top 1000 has a chance, top 100 a fairly good one, the rest things would have to go your way in a hurry.
