I got a whooping 2000 merchandize increase thanks to Kulem. I guess Turkish players are not held in such high regard in Toronto after Hedo fiasco :)(

Haha. Bummer! I know U21 players would fetch a bigger increase, but I would have guessed more than 2! At least he's a stud, even without the merch bonus.

Looks like I'm going to have gone the whole season without ever topping this list... and I'll most likely finish with the best record in the league :/

Sorry Chekreyes. L & P continuing to destroy everyone he plays is not helping your cause.

I'll have the updated ones out today.

One league game to go!

(I would also mention that I am one ball away from triple digits... hint...)

In bold is the direction the team is trending since last update.

Power Rankings
1. Liberty and Power, 16.869 UP
2. Flash Mashers, 14.944 UP
3. Toronto Traptors, 10.277 UP
4. Ron Swanson, 7.468 DOWN
5. Lengends, 3.598 UP
6. Natellio, 3.473 UP
7. East Gary Eagles, 1.358 basically EVEN
8. Lake Charles, 0.173 DOWN
9. Extra Crispy, -0.459 DOWN
10. 2 Left Feet, -1.215 UPish
11. Eclypze. -2.535 UP
12. Door Mats, -6.073 UP
13. Updog, -6.291 DOWN
14. Cresleys, -11.113 UP
15. BAT, -12.981 DOWN
16. Ozark, -16.541

Ahah! My new claim to fame is that I gave Natellio his 100th ball. Anywho, fun to see where we've all ended up compared to your original list.

Final Standings
+/- is relative to natellio's original ranking

1) Flash Mashers: Looks like I managed to snag number one seed overall, if I don't promote it'll hurt me big time however. Lot of pressure coming up +6
2) Liberty and Power Number one in the power rankings, big threat coming into the playoffs +4
3) Ron Swanson All-Stars Liberty's main opposition, part of the triple threat in the Great 8 -1
4) Lengends Biggest surprise of the season according to Natellio's list. made some great moves and now this team is mentioned when talking about the finals.+11
5) Toronto Traptors Looking good ever since the Emerson move, however just lost to Natellio with equal enthusiasm. -2
6) Natellio Just won a big game and secured the number 3 seed for the playoffs. I wouldn't rule them out of a playoff win or two +2
7) Extra Crispy made the playoffs without making a transfer the whole season. Impressive -3
8) Eclypze Didn't live up to natellio's prediction of number one seed however they are poised for a great season in season 20 with an awesome lineup -7
9) Lake Charles Creoles Good team for a relegation series. They should be able to stay in the league. +2
10) East Gary Eagles Snagged a playoff seed but is set to get smashed by Liberty -1
11) 2 Left Feet Held onto the 5th seed despite a run from the Door Mats +1
12) The Door Mats One of the greatest stories this season. They got destroyed all season until a run in the inter league play has given them a very good shot at staying in D3+4
13) Connecticut Cresleys Victim of the Door Mats run. Will have a hard time winning relegation, also the only team Natellio predicted 100% right +/-0
14) Updog Brewers A big surprise, they may relegate -8
15) Broken Arrow Tornados Seems to have given up. Will have no trouble getting back to D3 in my opinion -5
16) Ozark Tigers Tanking, free TV games for me though :) -2

Good stuff Chekreyes. I'm actually pretty surprised I was as close as I was starting out. The Lengends thing was a bummer, but I had no idea all of you D4 teams would have so much cash to buy as many players as you did.

It's a bummer we have to lose any of the teams from this season (except Ozark). Would love to have another go round with everyone. Good luck to the favorites in the playoffs!

I won't do the typical power rankings anymore, but I've been keeping track of each teams ratings throughout the season, so I thought everyone might like to see where you measure up in each individual rating category. I've rounded them so I don't have to get into decimal points. I've italicized playoff teams. Here we go!

Cool stuff. Just wanted to take this opportunity to say I don't usually post in the forums while my team is in the playoffs (for superstitious reasons) so hopefully you guys won't be hearing from me for a while, although there is also the chance if things go poorly I could be back on the boards here in a ~5hrs :)

I'll end with the same comment I open this season with: the competition here has gone way up, and any of these teams in the playoffs now would probably have been near locks to win the league two seasons ago. It is going to be a hell of a playoffs this year. Cheers!

Haha superstitious?? That's awesome.

That ranking is way cool Natellio, I'm going to look at that a lot closer but it's fun to see who the leaders are in the different categories. I think your message may have been cut short at the end by the character limit btw.
