:'( :'( 5th all time wicket taker in SOD, leading wicket taker in T20 (49 wickets clear of 2nd). 6th most capped SOD player. 1,337 days with the team. The 2nd last remaining member of my team that got me up through from Div 4 to Div 1. It hurts to say goodbye :(

This is annoying. Having just lost my top ws (Read the post above) and not really having a good 3rd spinner to start with (Illeperuma outs/spec), I decided to see my ratings against Torp on a Windy/Dry. I believe Torp has set orers here despite only playing 2 spinners (His 3rd is no better than Illeperuma if not worse). But for me to win by 5 wickets is just ridiculous, even more ridiculous when I played on the same conditions in PC yesterday, with a better team (but similar ratings because a few players were energetic/revived fatigue) and against a team which rated 30k less than what Torp rated, and I got belted by 7 wickets!!

It also sucks because of how many times I have tried to take top spot int he reesbr shield from him and failed, and I managed to pull a 29k upset outta my arse.

Will print screen the orders though might have to use them again!

Having my first season in div 1 T20 in Scotland. And currently sitting equal top in div 2 for YOD and SOD hopefully next season will be my first in div 1 for all comps.

Also what happened to this place? legitimately all the forums are dead

Yeh real disappointing, I remember seeing 500+ posts a week in each section of the fantasy footy sections a couple years back when I was right involved, now there's lucky to be 50 a week. Not quite sure how that happened.

All fantasy football numbers in Australia are declining. Fairly sure there used to be like 300,000+ SC teams and ~200,000 DT (back when it was on the afl site) teams. Now it's 200k and like 130k.

FTP is going okay though, few new guys around keeping it interesting :) Unfortunately gone are the days of when we had many dominant senior sides (I can think of when Q, Nails, BP, Cyrus, CF, HP all were really strong and Daz would rate less and beat them all) now it's only really Torp that pulls really big ratings (240k+ at times) as there's a few youth farms on here now.


Edit: McRooster also had a strong 200k+ side back in the day.
