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
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.
