All Rocks Team Statistics Comparisons - Note that this includes GW 27-32 combined Excuse the delay in posting these comparisons. What seems noteworthy is the huge increase in value of ColdDogSoup FC's bench by all the unused bench points. I bet Lobo wished he'd used the Bench Boost wild card any of 3 of these 6 gameweeks. Unfortunately for him, most of those points went unused. Also, Glorydaze made his move based on very strong Capt/Vice Capt points while Top Shelf gave the rest of us a chance to catch up a little by having the fewest Capt/Vice Capt points over these last 6 gameweeks. Both Aviators and WhataBunchofMuppets! generously gave the rest of the Small Rocks Teams 16 points through making 4 excess transfers over these 6 gameweeks. What happened to Aviators goal of not giving up any excess transfer points this season?? Up to -48 points so far.

I would like to thank the great and mighty Arsenal manager for putting Bellerin on the pitch for one minute so he could negate the 6 points I would have earned from my bench. The soccer gods, they were angry with me today.
Two from Small rocks & two from Sand in the final four of the Golden Boot .... Can we make it an all Small Rocks affair in the final Hal ?

Small Rocks League managers interested in returning to play in the All Rocks Drafted leagues next season are encourage to post such interest in the intent to continue thread. I've tentatively, pending standings changes due to the scores from GW37 and 38, set up the likely League alignments that reflect Promotions, Relegations, and needed replacements for the 5 managers who went inactive for substantial periods of this season.
You teaseeeeeee.... let me get to with in 10 pts than beep, beep.... well if i survive the week I am back.......and am drafting from a Virgina Rotary Club Meeting...
Thanks for a great season everyone. I am proud of the fact that I was promoted every year except one, but what goes up quickly is liable to crash spectacularly at some point. Thus was this season. I will be back. Congratulations to all the teams that stayed put.

The obvious forfeiting points for excess transfers; 2) My relatively low points from subs. (Is it that I always play the healthy players so this statistic is not a good comparison against managers who don't always change their teams weekly? Or is it that I have a weak bench of only part time starters? Something is wrong here and I have a couple of months to figure it out.) 3) My less than effective throughout the season for the Capt / Vice-Captain Bonus Points and Player Bonus Points. I may need to rethink my draft to go for more high bonus players or more high value Captain choices. My season collapsed when Ibra went down. He had been carrying me for most of the season.
