Still don't get how exactly the scaling will work. Has the ratio already been decided or does it change week to week? If changing each week does it only take in to account the teams in the champions league or in the entire league?

it will take into account the whole league. Im just running the numbers now to see if there is a big difference between last years figures and what happend in round 1 this year. I was just going to leave it as the ratio i calculated last year, to solve week to week outliers.

[CrowsFan]

Ok cool. Was just wondering since some of the euro teams aren't playing this week so was wondering how you would work out the ratio. Nice to see its all sorted :)

yeah all sorted, Euro teams get just under 3% added to their score because world teams on average last year scored 3% more than euro teams.

thats pretty close, SC scores are quite alot bigger but as its 14 euro teams to 18 it balances it out quite abit.

[Scrads]

Macedonian Wolves Team:

B: Hamish Hartlett, Brent Guerra, Lewis Stevenson, Josh Gibson
M: Brent Stanton(C), Brad Ebert, Liam Shiels, Chris Masten
R: Matthew Leuenberger
F: Patty Ryder, Dustin Martin, Luke Breust, Josh J. Kennedy
U: David Mackay, Jay Schulz

E: Ryan Schoenmakers(B), Nathan Van Berlo(M), Michael Walters(F)

Backline weakened by Broughton, Howard and Pederson being injured/shower. Chose to go Jay Schulz as utility over NVB due to playing GWS. Tempted to go Brad Ebert captain but will stick with Stants. Worried about Liam Shiels.

Good luck to the Wolves side in 2013.
