Like it C4 Well thought out in more detail than mine,  Very fair all round. Only stipulation I would add that you must delist a minimum of three and have a minimum of 1 trade in each draft.  (This is to possibly ensure a reasonable spread of players across Teams.

I couldn't see anyone keeping all their players and miss out on the drafting periods, so I don't think a minimum figure is necessary.

After checking out most of the young talent on display, Moscow are willing to enter preliminary trade talks. We're a long way out from the trade period, but some of you can be... difficult to deal with. The more time we have to work out mutually beneficial deals, the better. We have only two untouchable players on our list.

Seoul would be interested in many of your players! Can you name the two untouchables? Nic Nat and Martin?

[MajorLazer]

I'll give you Connors so you can have Martin and Connors?

Naitanui and Shaw.

I think Connors would be too hard to trade for. His value has just skyrocketted and we don't have a player on our list who is worth as much. John Heslin has quit and gone back to Ireland, so he's probably our best offer.

If you all remember I worked out the predicted score of each team based on their best XV averages of last year. I've now gone through and worked out what each team is currently averaging each round and compared the two scores. Obviously the occasional home ground advantage should help your current average, but then you don't usually get your best team out on the park each week, so the results should be interesting :)

Team	Predicted Avg	Current Avg	Difference
Suns	150.1	148.3	-1.8
Pumas	149.5	151.9	+2.4
Wolves	147.2	141.2	-6.0
Reindeer	146.0	128.8	-17.2
Magpies	144.6	143.3	-1.3
Armadillos	143.4	137.9	-5.5
Warriors	142.8	137.6	-5.2
Tigers	142.7	124.4	-18.3
Cobras	141.5	143.7	+2.2
Sands	139.8	130.3	-9.5
Brewers	137.5	129.1	-8.4
Islanders	136.7	124.8	-11.9
Eagles	132.5	121.2	-11.3
Bears	131.3	137.8	+6.5
Samurai	131.2	137.4	+6.2
Destroyers	131.0	115.8	-15.2
Royals	131.0	127.5	-3.5
Spetsnaz	128.0	133.1	+5.1

Interesting table there CF!

PNL...ouch!

I put my drop of 600 points each week down to injuries, particularly those to Gray and Pendles forcing me to play rookies.

[CrowsFan]

Haha RB it's a drop of 60 points, not 600 ;)

[ossie85]

Interesting to see that there is very much a negative trend there!

As I said in the post, even though you get a small advantage with the home ground bonus, most people aren't able to field their best side week in week out, so lose points there. If I was able to field my top 15 this year every single week (in a correct lineup) my team would be averaging 157.1 (before HGA), which is a further 5.2 more per round than I am actually averaging ;)

Woops turns out I can't even multiply by 10...that's never a good sign :P

Well 60 points is OK, players like Johnson have performed well above expected this season which has helped negative the injuries to an extent.
