How far off.... For Overall?

Elcapitano · May 14, 2015, 12:58:15 PM

Realistically now heading into Round 7.

How far back do you think you can be from No.1 spot to push for Overall?

I'm out, just :'(

No idea really

I'm ranked just over 1200, which I think has me about 500 points or so behind, and I don't think I have a chance :-\

That being said, the BYES will play a big role so everyone is still a chance (Well not everyone, but you know what I mean :P)

Yeah you want to be less than 500 behind after the bye rounds in my opinion.

js19 · May 14, 2015, 11:42:55 PM

Look at it this way - if you're 850 points behind you need to make up 50 points per round from here on in, which is not massive...

Big Mac · May 15, 2015, 08:04:33 PM

I made up about 300-400 points on the no.1 spot during the bye rounds last year

So there's still hope :P

It's always a difficult thing to judge but, practically, I'd say that you wouldn't want to be more than 250-300 points behind. Any more than that and you're really relying on ALL the teams in front of you to stumble. But, navigate the byes well and avoid copping donuts...there's always a mathematical chance.

Actually that is more than massive, it's immense. If you're currently behind by 850 points it means you've been outscored by roughly 121 points per round. So to outscore the leader by 50 points per round for the rest of the year you'd need a combined average swing of 171 points for the rest of the year. Obviously, it's mathematically possible but the chances are pretty slim.

439 points behind the leader currently, sitting 169th. Close enough to give it a real shake? Start trading like crazy now?

sammy123 · May 31, 2015, 11:44:34 AM

Last year i think after the byes i was 800 ish.

By the last 5 rounds i was top 20. And scoring roughly 25-40 more points than rank 1.

I just was unlucky and ran outta trades after half my mids got hurt

Gigantor · June 08, 2015, 09:35:17 PM

The number one team had a blinder this week 2411, now 265 ahead of the second team.

I'd love to know how his trade situation is going cos he is screwed for rd12 at the moment.

Anyway I'm now 1000 behind and even though I'm looking good for the byes I'm never gonna get near the top haha

Yep - when a team is that far ahead, all you need is for them to have a shocker and for you to have a decent week and all of a sudden you have caught up 300 points on the number one spot

Unfortunately last year's winner just kept on going and ended up like 1k points ahead of 2nd by the end of the year :P
