Rob M was sponsoring a spot prize this season for highest game week rank. I notice this week Strike Gould made it to 2035 on the week which I don't think has been beaten.
Any other claims for that so far? Please come forward.
Details?
A little late responding on this one but here's the details so far..
Firstly - Helluva spot Greg! Alex Is indeed leading the way for the £50 highest GR spot prize. This is out of over 1000 rows of gameweek history data I've just gathered into excel from every player from all 7 leagues ITT. Thankfully took less time than I thought
The top 10 GR so far are as follows:
1. Alex Goulder GW16 GR 2,035
2. Brent Horner GW13 GR 4,606
3. Damir Rogović GW20 GR 5,618
4. Lewis Morton GW1 GR 6,102
5. Damjan Rupnik GW1 GR 7,883
6. Christopher Brammer GW4 GR 11,325
7. David Fox GW14 GR 12,760
8. Dave Hemming GW1 GR 13,286
9. Greg Hill GW1 GR 13,286
10. Shaun Conning GW10 GR 13,481
Some interesting results so far imo: No duplicate names in the top 10. You have to go down to 14th before the same name appears twice (Damjan Rupnik). 4 out of the top 10 were off to a flier being captured in GW1! Lewis' rank from that week led the way for 12 solid weeks before Brent took the top spot. His sweat unfortunately lasted much less time with Alex jumping into the lead just 3 weeks later.
How long can Alex hold the top spot for? The rank at over 2k does seem beatable. We had a few results in the top 250 last season at the business end of the season iirc so odds are it's still anyone's! Alex will no doubt hope otherwise. Good luck to all for the remainder of the season.
As predicted, a double game week at the business end brings out some great GR scores across the board again, just like last season.
There's still chance for all to have a pop at this title and win the £50 spot prize before the season is out, but a HUGE score of 130 points from Mitch Johnson this week has seen him EAT up his rivals and notch up a GR of 13th in the world! Unlucky for some? Very unlikely. Well done Mitch. Even if you don't somehow hold on to your lead, I'm sure you'll take angel delight in knocking Alex* off from Top spot! *
*disclaimer - I haven't checked all leagues and all weeks since mid season to be sure Mitch is winning but it's odds on. Will complete the admin after gw38.
