Alrighty people, below you will see the list of all teams, from 1-32, based on their average score per week for the year up to the byes (after the multiplier obviously). Below that you will see it group by group. These numbers are how I worked out those odds above, I didn't look into the teams themselves and their current state.

(I really hope this list is correct otherwise f everything :P)

• Serbian Eagles, 1541.95
• KL Crocodiles, 1518.64
• Hastings Hurricanes, 1505.59
• Mexico City Suns, 1495.83
• Dublin Destroyers, 1492.50
• Australia Ales, 1469.34
• Belgian Bashers, 1466.85
• Sri Lanka Strikers, 1446.96
• New York Revolution, 1443.33
• Winchester Werewolves, 1442.28
• Bradford Badgers, 1428.40
• Mongolian Lambs, 1418.14
• Iceland Polar Bears, 1407.91
• Laos Elephants, 1391.41
• Svalbard Valkyries, 1390.39
• Huddersfield Hawks, 1387.13
• Berlin Brewers, 1378.33
• Pacific Islanders, 1367.50
• Wrexham Knights, 1365.97
• PNL Reindeers, 1365.83
• English Lions, 1360.58
• Manchester Magic, 1358.64
• Macedonian Wolves, 1358.42
• UAE Tigers, 1343.41
• Swansea Breakers, 1328.95
• Spanish Stallions, 1317.91
• Liverpool Rams, 1314.70
• Christchurch Saints, 1310.00
• Kathmandu Eskimos, 1302.07
• Swiss Storm, 1287.65
• Moscow Spetnaz, 1278.33
• Bangladesh Bears, 1241.70

Group A: 2, 11, 20, 23
Group B: 8, 10, 17, 26
Group C: 21, 25, 28, 32
Group D: 5, 7, 12, 22
Group E: 1, 3, 9, 29
Group F: 13, 14, 16, 18
Group G: 24, 27, 30, 31
Group H: 4, 6, 15, 19
As you can see, some strong groups (Namely E, D and H), and some weak ones (C and G).

If you tally each group by the average points per week for each of the 4 teams, we get the following order for the strongest to weakest groups:
E, 5792.94
D, 5736.13
H, 5721.54
A, 5671.29
B, 5585.48
F, 5553.95
C, 5241.23
G, 5224.10

I can only imagine how things would've gone down if instead of my team the Eskimos being drawn in Group E the other AXV team I was drawn with the Ales (6th by ranking) joined that group with three other top 10 teams!

I dunno who looks after the Belgian Bashers, but they haven't submitted here or within the EXV board.
I've concluded that they are afraid of Lambs!  ;D

Oh shower, i'll chase up Ele

Its named in the spreadsheet now.

Yeh i think he's named it on EXVs but not here.

Sorry been a hectic week for both of us. I've only been able to get on during the day on my phone sometimes so it's made it hard

Can't believe Berlin is 17th tbh, without some of my best players  :o

There's a lot of background work here by PB, great stuff mate

[JBs-Hawks]

Ales will knock off Mexico this week and take out Group H

[GoLions]

Getting past the group stage
Group A
Kuala Lumpar Crocodiles - $1.20
Bradford Badgers - $2.10
PNL Reindeers - $4.00
Macedonian Wolves - $4.00

$1.20! easy money ;)

PNL could be great odds to get through now. Badgers currently missing: Barlow, Higgins, Dal Santo, Riska, Lonergan, Cutler from best 15. Libba also injured now. Then for depth also missing Harwood and Emac.

Yeh we might struggle a bit with GAJ out for a while
Dal Santo a late out doesn't help this week either

I will be posting results here as they come through. If you see any errors do point them out :) They are not in any particular order.


Group E
Kathmandu Eskimos 1185.84 defeated by Serbian Eagles 1579.27
Whelp, my team was never in with a shot. A ruckman adjusted score of 14.55 and a VC getting me 23.5 basically ruined any chance. Eagles look like a team to beat with a score above their already comp high average.

idk, possibly. I think the Ales went very big too (4 players scored 94.742 which is kinda cool!) This is the only game I've done at this stage :P

It says the Hurricanes lost to the Eagles in your post, but I think that's meant to say the Eskimos now? :P
