DazBurg The Giant Killer or as BP puts it "Self Annotied Giant Killer"

[DazBurg]

ok so i was bored and yeah i did start calling myself the giant killer way back in my 2nd season when i took out RB when out rated by 23k i had done two upsets beforehand but that really stamped it and where i came up with the name
and of course as we all know it has stuck and now it's accepted and everyone calls me it

BUT

for those that don't and wonder why i'm called this i decided to go back through my matches and highlight the big come from behind victories i've had since my first season many of those are against fellow FF'ers

(yeah this looks like i'm tooting my own horn but just wanted to present some evidence into why i have earnt that nickname :)  )

there's the links to games i have won over the seasons while being outrated each shows who it was against and what season
the criteria i used for this was in youth at least outrated by 5k and in senior roughly 8k to make the list

so there you have it fella's i know i'm no where near the strongest team on ftp among us FF'ers but then again as cookie said just the other day i thrive on being the underdog and i really do.....so if i ever end up rating close to Shaggy or Rb or BP...what happens to my nick then...lol...so maybe i'm destined to stay around this mark just to be there to pull out the big underdog aussie style victory

meh either way probably a waste of a thread but interesting stats i reckon and either way it cured my boredom for a little while didn't it?

thanks for you time guys and remember
weather you win by an inch or a mile
a win is a win
and that my friends is the way i like it  8)

Awesome stuff Daz 8). I never have rated really high either but still in the fight for staying up in SOD 1.1 for the third straight season :o.

Still going strong in S14 with alot of upsets still flowing in, more than other seasons! Must mean you're a master tactician now and have always been ;).

lol...thanks HP
but to be honest Shaggy is a master tactician
i just get some good orders and some good luck
though i do love the upsets and i reckon i'm alright at tactics just need to learn and grasp more of it which when i get a chance i will pick the crap out of shaggy's brain if he will let me  ;)

[Justin Bieber]

Haha, he sure is rising so fast ;). Although he must be detached from like half of his team :-X.

I love my team and it's hard to let anybody go now, even when I had to start making a few cuts last season :'(. You learn to love your mob and it's hard to really move on, so keep fighting with the underdogs 8).

[cookie311993]

You do grow attached to players the longer they have been with your club

[CrowsFan]

Very nice stuff Daz. I was bored so decided to go through all my matches and see how I have gone with upsets (using 5k deficit for all game styles) and this is what I discovered.

SOD + SOD Friendlies
Gatha Scorpions v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 10k (S12)
The Matchbox Matadors v Fletch's No Balls - Out rated by 5k (S12)
The Matchbox Matadors v Pompei Cricket Club Out rated by 6k (S12)
PE Warriors v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 5k (S13)
The Matchbox Matadors v Hello - Out rated by 6k (S13)
Fletch's No Balls v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 5k (S13)
The Matchbox Matadors v Les Miserables - Out rated by 6k (S13)
Howzat! v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 24k (S14)

T20 + T20 Friendlies
The Empire of Walkeramia v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 8k (S12)
The Matchbox Matadors v The Ultimate Blue Roses - Out rated by 14k (S12)
The Matchbox Matadors v John Howard's Coathangers - Out rated by 7k (S13)
Miami Heat v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 11k (S14)

Youth + Youth Friendlies
Fletch's No Balls v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 9k (S12)
The Ultimate Blue Roses v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 5k (S12)
The Brat Pack v The Matchbox Matadors - Out rated by 6k (S13)
Obviously a lot harder to get the upsets when my youth team is out rating 95% of the teams I play...

So really only those 4 big upsets where being out rated by 10k or more, but what isn't included is a lot of games where I have been out rated by 3-4k but still got the wins (and there were a lot of them!)

I think what we can really learn from this is that I am Fletch's bogey team...

[Nails]

Nice work Daz :) I need to become a master tactician somehow...

I've only had a couple upset wins unfortunately... however this was my best:

   The Nailers   The Brodie Bunch
Batting - Top Order:   6,972   7,651
Batting - Middle Order:   4,726   5,829
Batting - Tail:   2,390   2,954
Bowling - Seam:   5,380 (8)   8,514 (8)
Bowling - Spin:   13,020 (2)   11,880 (2)
Fielding/Keeping:   6,013   7,513
Overall:   106,540   131,258

3 wicket win, ooo yeah.

Jesus HP looks like you are more of a giant killer than the phony Daz ;)

[Justin Bieber]

Haha, I like to think I am in with chances to stay in the high divisions for Scotland. Youths will fall but Seniors seem to thrive in the conditions :D.

I feel for Doug last season. 3 Massive defeats by me in which he was relegated instead of me!

[roo boys!]

I'm more just a giant that gets slain :-X

[DazBurg]

Jesus HP looks like you are more of a giant killer than the phony Daz ;)

hey hey lets not say things we can't take back :P
lol  ;D

and yeah i had heaps under 5k aswell CF but they are winnable games like i said i think only one or two senior ones were under 10k and in youth i dropped it to 5k because well i haven't really ever been outrated by like 20k in youth except for maybe my very first season and even then i don't think so

[DazBurg]

Haha, he sure is rising so fast ;). Although he must be detached from like half of his team :-X.

I love my team and it's hard to let anybody go now, even when I had to start making a few cuts last season :'(. You learn to love your mob and it's hard to really move on, so keep fighting with the underdogs 8).

i agree like really The Heff is never going to b e great but every time i think ok his gotta go i just can't bring myself to do it

[PowerBug]

Great write up and wins daz. I haven't had any upset wins but this thread gives me hope for sod and youths in the next two weeks.
