WXV 2016 Milestone Players

[Purple 77]

Thought this was a nice little feature during the week last year. Admittedly, I don't intend to go as in-depth this year into the milestone players, mainly because there will be soooo much more players reaching 50 games. But there is only ONE player capable of hitting that untouched 100 game milestone this year  :o that is no other than the world beater known as Bradley Ebert. He has played 81 WXV games (and 1 reserve game) over 4 years, ALL for Mexico City, so if he keeps up his average of 20.25 games, he can create history... this year!

I'm also going to attempt to announce the 50 gamers during their 50th game, instead of after. Doing it in the lead-up is tricky, as they might not get selected.

But for the time being, below is the current games holders* as of the lead-up til Round 1 of 2016
