Now that we are on the cusp of double gameweek fever with chips to be played, I thought it might be interesting to see where we are before the 100 point gameweeks start to show up. Small Rocks: 1 WhataBunchofMuppets! Raurie Bye 62 1,536 2 St Martin of Tours Kemenes St Martin 58 1,531 3 Top Shelf David Thomas 40 1,499 4 ColdDogSoup FC Lobo Mojo 53 1,493 5 Glorydaze Paul Richards 52 1,441 6 Aviators Sir Grandpa Hal 70 1,431 Relegation 7 FC Springfield Coach Wiggum 26 1,357 8 FC Touchline Ban E Anderson 61 1,235 The top of Small Rocks looks close with 4 teams within 40 odd points of the lead. St. Martin of Tours has played their all out attack and Top Shelf has played their Wild Card and hats off to Cold Dog Soup who already had Iwobi on the squad for GW 32. Relegation has FC Springfield 80 points from staying in but all Chips and Wild Card are in hand. Coach Wiggum if I have my history correct either wins it all or visits VSR every few years. FC Touchline Ban has a longer road but looks to be positioned well for the Double Gameweeks. Very Small Rocks: 1 Real Newark Bob Grundfest 61 1,585 2 FC St. Pauli Scott King 53 1,572 Promotion 3 Sasha Juniors Tom Johnson 53 1,556 4 ChrisSuttonsSlippers Fraser McInnes 60 1,520 5 blechs_dawgs Blech Blech 49 1,431 6 FC Weymouth Ryan Morrison 47 1,414 Relegation 7 716 Blues Ryan Gorman 31 1,279 8 denoc75 Dennis O'Connor 27 1,142 Very Small Rocks has another group of 4 at the top with a 65 point spread. At the other end FC Weymouth and blechs dawgs are looking safe as 716 Blues and denoc75 have some major numbers against them. Sand: 1 Ben Giveth & Benteke James DeHart 53 1,594 2 Wewunwunce Iain Plant 44 1,553 Promotion 3 Parraraiders shane brakenridge 58 1,490 4 Keysersoze Wanderers Liam Hall 42 1,469 5 BiggerBoat Dr Heckle 63 1,401 6 RomansRiches Guy Ayres 20 1,305 Relegation 7 Potomac Highlanders Paul Bernhardt 38 1,248 8 Bally Boyz AFC Denis 215 31 1,203 Ben Giveth & Benteke look assured of promotion to VSR for now. Wewunwunce looks to be the other but Parraraiders and Kaisersoze Wanderers look close enough to cause some concern. In the Relegation Battle, Romans Riches, Potomac Highlanders and Bally Boyz have 50 points margins separating them but it will be fun to see what happens when the chips are down. Dust: 1 Kopite Juniors Chloe M Adams 35 1,592 2 Eternal City FC Robert Schwoch 51 1,581 Promotion 3 Stormin Gunners Norman Coyle 55 1,572 4 Journeymen Dave Pearson 57 1,472 5 FERGY RED NOSE 2 PHIL W 37 1,469 6 FC Yankees Cristian Tane 59 1,389 7 Unathletic Beerbao Jose Figueroa 53 1,367 8 Dynamo Teso Michael Wilson 71 1,212 Wow it is a close battle at the top in Dust. 20 points between 1st and 3rd. Eternal City have already played their All Out Attack in GW32. Trying to find which gameweek and find what Aviators use for all of those stats and find the GW History tab and I see some ugly points on bench numbers for myself.
Nice write up and good information. Hopefully there are some more moves made in the Sand league in the closing weeks. There are a lot of points to be had from the double game weeks, but the transfer threads have been very quiet since around week 29.
Week 36 Look Ahead Small Rocks: Wow what a difference 2 weeks can make. WhataBunchofMuppets are still in the lead but 4th place ColdDogSoup is wrigh on their tail. Four Teams still in it for the title of Small Rocks. WhataBunch of Muppets have used their Wildcards and Bench Boost, but have their Triple Captain and All Out Attack in hand. ColdDog Soup only has the All Out Attack chip left. St. Martin of Tours still have their Triple Captain in hand and Top Shelf have that and All Out Attack. It will be a wild one! 1 WhataBunchofMuppets! Raurie Bye 49 1,758 2 ColdDogSoup FC Lobo Mojo 44 1,754 3 St Martin of Tours Kemenes St Martin 45 1,713 4 Top Shelf David Thomas 30 1,681 5 Glorydaze Paul Richards 17 1,598 6 Aviators Sir Grandpa Hal 49 1,584 Relegated 7 FC Springfield Coach Wiggum 21 1,444 8 FC Touchline Ban E Anderson 35 1,349 VSR: No movement in VSR except for Real Newark and FC St. Pauli getting assured of their trip to Small and deciding who gets to win VSR. Sasha Juniors have taken a Bengiveth & Benteke fall with Vardy and Sakho dragging them down. 716 Blues doing well in the Boot might just catch up to FC Weymouth. 1 Real Newark Bob Grundfest 28 1,799 2 FC St. Pauli Scott King 39 1,795 Promoted Above 3 Sasha Juniors Tom Johnson 23 1,737 4 ChrisSuttonsSlippers Fraser McInnes 42 1,705 5 blechs_dawgs Blech Blech 39 1,606 6 FC Weymouth Ryan Morrison 24 1,529 Relegated 7 716 Blues Ryan Gorman 57 1,451 8 denoc75 Dennis O'Connor 44 1,305 Sand: BenGiveth is with a lot of chips left though hampered with Sakho and Vardy. They look to be locked in to VSR. The second team to be promoted will is still be hard fought by Parraraiders and Wewunwunce. Parraraiders have made up 63 point gap in the two weeks. At the other end Potomac Highlanders have RomansRiches in sight to stay in Sand. Taking 30 points off the spread. 1 Ben Giveth & Benteke James DeHart 32 1,812 2 Parraraiders shane brakenridge 37 1,715 Promoted above 3 Wewunwunce Iain Plant 48 1,714 4 BiggerBoat Dr Heckle 63 1,638 5 Keysersoze Wanderers Liam Hall 50 1,621 6 RomansRiches Guy Ayres 35 1,417 Relegated 7 Potomac Highlanders Paul Bernhardt 32 1,390 8 Bally Boyz AFC Denis 215 37 1,343 Dust: The battle for promotion continues. Kopite Juniors find themselves on the wrong side of things since the last report. Stormin Gunners have their Bench Boost and All Out Attack left. Eternal City have used all their Chips!! Kopite Juniors have their Triple Captain and Bench Boost Left. They could be in good position to get promoted! 1 Stormin Gunners Norman Coyle 32 1,810 2 Eternal City FC Robert Schwoch 56 1,771 Promoted Above 3 Kopite Juniors Chloe M Adams 35 1,739 4 FERGY RED NOSE 2 PHIL W 42 1,651 5 Journeymen Dave Pearson 40 1,623 6 Unathletic Beerbao Jose Figueroa 40 1,575 7 FC Yankees Cristian Tane 33 1,532 8 Dynamo Teso Michael Wilson 62 1,405
Disappointment: Discovering that you can't use unlimited transfer wild card and bench boost in the same week... And Sakho was a flop, no doubt.
In Sand, Parraraiders and Wewunwunce are tied for second place at 1,803 points heading into the final week. More drama than a Lifetime Original Movie.
Given the number of teams that owned players on other teams for various periods of time, nobody should be too sure of who is being promoted or relegated.

Also, We need to confirm whether any clubs went inactive for significant periods of time during the season and thus would not be invited back. And if they were allowed back, they would go into the Dust League to demonstrate their commitment. For example, Romans Riches made one trade all season, in GW22. Was he actively managing and changing his team frequently to reflect players with no games or double games? Or was his squad on autopilot? Bally Boyz FC only made 2 trades all season with the last in GW 26. Unathletic Bilbao made 7 trades with the last in GW 13. Need to hear from the managers of the leagues these teams were in whether on not they were inactive.
With no promotion possible , are the Muppets on top of the ratings ? Oh Miss piggy will be so pleased
No scoring adjustments needed for my team, hoping to avoid a sophomore slump this upcoming season after a dream first season. Great fantasy league and plan to continue moving up the ranks to someday becoming a small rock (never thought I would say that, but there it is)
Congrats on being promoted from Dust. Were there any other Dust League teams that went inactive, or any scoring adjustments needed for any of the other Dust League teams?
Scoring adjustments will not affect the table in VSR. I didn't keep track of managers, but it seemed that everyone was involved until the end. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
No issues that I'm aware of in dust either. Was a fun season and looking forward to the upcoming season. Thanks Hal for the invite to this league, really good stuff and very competitive.
Yes very inactive indeed... naughty me ! Hopefully that will not banish me from all things Rockish as I am looking forward to a new season, alas without my beloved Owls who fell at the final hurdle the other night. Looking forward to resurrecting my Rocks career, and dusting the Medal off and making it all shiny and pretty again
