Eliminator Opponent

[Ziplock]

lol! turns out I was in the top half of the eliminator after all, despite my assumption. I'm up against some dude who was ranked like 8000th last round, and is averaging 100 ppg less that me. I'll crunch the numbers, but I think I'll be good.

[Nails]

Why do you guys get all the easy match ups? My guy only averages 12ppr (not ppg zip :P) less than me :'( Tough match fmdt.

[Botak]

Well I thought my Rnd11 would be closer than it was...

Won by almost 300 points! Considering it was a pretty ordinary round (only scored 2007) I'm very happy with that. This is without doubt the furthest I've ever been in Eliminator.

Up against someone who's 56k'th overall this week... Winnable game, but definitely not a forgone conclusion... he got a higher score Rnd11 than I did, and his Eliminator Rank is 1700 or so (Mine's 6068), so he's put away more points since Eliminator started...

Our two teams are quite different as well, so it'll be an interesting one.

I'm playing 6th overall  :-X

Doesn't mean he's scored more points since elim has started... It's simply based on what you scored last week.

If his Eliminator Rank is 1700, he scored the 1,700th highest score of all those left in the eliminator. My opponent managed to get through with a score of 1,874 last week... his opponent must have been shower

My elim rank is 466, therefore I scored the 466th highest score of those remaining in the eliminator last week, and his is 8,041.

I'm playing a guy ranked 1544 overall...he's got a pretty good team and outscored me last week but I am still ranked a fair bit higher. Should be a good match though he's got a very different team to me...of starting players we only have 11 who are the same.

Well another average week from me means I am finally playing someone who had a higher eliminator ranking than me last week (Me: 4336, Him: 1498). Finally a good game!

Boyd, Selwood, M Murphy, Ablett, Mundy, Foley. (Jacobs, Wallis, Prestia).

Cox, Smith. (Bailey, Tippett).

Franklin, Goodes, Pavlich, Chapman, N Riewoldt, Petrie, Knights.  (J Riewoldt. Mzungu, Matera).

Going from that you have to trade or hope for a miracle

Montagna and Swan will be missing for him.

Do you think I should play J Riewoldt to counter him, or do you think I play Knights to try out score J Roo?

[Windigo]

I'll be in a bit of trouble this round I think..... :'(

[theswiz]

get this.. the guy i'm playing is ranked 149,580 overall and 78,124 last week. Let alone the fact he's still in elim, I'm ranked 832 with a round ranking of around 15k... Unless something goes really wrong I should win comfortably!

He probably started his team after the 1st/2nd round... Look at his players and don't just make assumptions off their ranking.
