WXV Rising Star and Team of the Week 2017

[Torpedo10]

So basically what you're saying is Fiorini is the best young talent in all the land?

For 1 week he was.

69 from 7 games, what a jet.

3rd best this week. Back to back 95+ games. When a player scores average and then good it's called a breakout, and that's what's happening here. The new Connor Blakely.

One of the two others better than him this week was Big Darcy. Might not get a nom but he's the most valuable teenager in the competition right now.

Don't rate Clayton Oliver?

Dime a dozen midfielder who scored 80 this week? He's alright but ruckmen are worth 20 more than their average, and Big Darcy will average 100 in no time.

If Oliver type midfielders are a dime a dozen why do you only have 1 guy close to his average.

Also add +20 to Darcy and he is still almost 20 between Oliver.

Round 13

Rising Star

This week's nominee was the equal top scoring rookie for the round, but his rival played reserves and so Cape Town's Ben Ainsworth and his very good score of 99 gets rewarded.

Hipwood was robbed.

Hipwood was robbed.

Scoring less than the best score of the week isn't really a robbery.  ???

Let me clarify,

His influence in the game should've lead to more points thus catapulting his score above Ben and Sean's.  :P

[Purple 77]

Will never forget that performance Walters. If I make finals from here, it'd be because of that.

[GoLions]

Ainsworth <3

[Ricochet]

Will never forget that performance Walters. If I make finals from here, it'd be because of that.

He was insane.

he sure did better then Chris Yarran :(

just think if i didn't do that trade i would have won by 15 instead of losing by 1.

Round 14

Rising Star

If this doesn't emphasise the turnaround at PNL, nothing does! Showing their future is bright is Luke Ryan whose contribution of 91 was an important factor in their win over Toronto.

M: Dayne Zorko [c] (Beijing), Patrick Dangerfield [vc] (Seoul), Seb Ross (New Delhi), Mitch Duncan (Toronto)

I: Marc Murphy (New Delhi), Nat Fyfe (Berlin)

Coach: Toga (Beijing)

[Holz]

Westhoff you champ.

also good to see Goldy back there.

111 in his last 9 rounds, he has been pretty solid.

[Nige]

Also the OP finally is up to date with all of the TOTWs so far!

[Holz]

Congrats to Toga for a big score. Great list management over at the Jing
