An update for 9 of my 10 leagues (all SCS members in them)

A very mixed round for most of us with an even share of blue and red
- Quite a few missed games this round from Booker, Doncic, Hart, Gafford, Irving, Lillard, Maxey, Wemby, Williamson etc

Teams in the top 10 this round were:
- none

The top league overall rankings will be covered in a subsequent post ...
- but this table will show rankings amongst league sizes only

Side note, Eliminator is 16th v 17th
Bit closer than my match up, 391st (me) v 14th. I'm the better seed in our match somehow too despite the ranking difference :LOL:

I entered a last minute team this year and dropped to nearly 1000th after 4 rounds with some awful trades / injuries, so decided to focus on setting up for the eliminator rather than overall. I was still in 687th at the start of the eliminator due to not playing the schedule each week. Luckily drew a ghost ship in the first round, as I had a shocker that round. Been fairly strong since then at least.

I was projected to win by 150+ last round, and was nearly 100 down at the All Star break. Ended up winning by 20. Not a fan of these super long rounds when it's so tight.

Think I've probably gone about as far as possible with my team, but I'm still happy with a top 64 finish, as I think that's close to, if not the best I've done previously. I didn't focus enough on building team value over the first 11 rounds, definitely a lesson for anyone else who decides to focus on the eliminator rather than overall in the future.

Good luck to anyone else still in the running, and also all those doing well overall.

Just looking at my eliminator parachute options as I can see my opponent just making trades to nullify my team (which would make me eliminated).

Who is the best SF/PF to pivot to for scoring this round if they have gone Edwards, Bridges, LBJ and Durant? I'm considering a pivot to Antet over Durant and hoping for the best.

I would prefer Herro over Harden as the pivot, but this locks out in game one...

My opponent has done exactly what I expected...

So who am I fading? Durant or LBJ?

*Edit - All pieces play tomorrow anyway, I've only just realised. :ROFLMAO:

Hopefully LBJ is an out tomorrow!
