Great thread idea and have really enjoyed reading some insightful thoughts
If my ranking trend can be trusted, and I think it can, I am on track for about 11k overall this season
Honestly, rollercoaster city! That said, I think I can explain some of the ups and downs over the years.
2013 - first year of SC, I knew nothing. I knew I knew nothing and didn't really expect a whole lot. I had Max Bailey (super player) at R2!!! Of course, my goal in my first year was to learn heaps, and that I did - particularly from the brilliant folks at SCS.
2014 - was 'Supercoach serious' in my second year playing. Hit the start squad spot on (from memory), traded ok, but not super great and then got lucky with enough bench depth to cover a nasty end of the year.
2015 - third year blues? Actually, I know exactly where I stuffed up - rd 5 I was in the top 1000. That round I traded in Boak instead of Danger...game over. Lost a lot of interest as my season fell apart, in what was a pretty shocking year for a few funnily enough.
2016 - start squad very good, trading was spot on, got lucky with injuries both in my team and not in my team, saved trades, didn't mess up too many C or E choices or loops. Best result ever - start of the season was aiming for top 3k...
Honestly, I would love to repeat last year but the odds are against me. There are many good players out there and there is plenty of information on just about anything SC. The margins are so close that it only needs one stuff up and you are slip sliding away to rave
in the rant thread. Still, that is what we play it for right? If it wasn't a challenge...
