Week 5 got underway last night and the Bladerunners have escaped, if only temporarily, from the FunHL basement. The new occupants of the cellar are the Knights Templar, however as they had no one playing last night it is probably unfair to be too critical of the now Spezza-less ones. Ironically the other half of the first "huge" trade of the year, the Scourge, are only a point ahead of the Knights in the standings so the implications of "The Trade" will be felt for a while yet.
In the Challenge Cup schedule, the game of the week is probably the one between the Shadowmen and the Severed Heads. The season is early but both teams are essentially tied for second in the Predator Cup standings and a big win for either team could create some separation between the teams in both races.
This post also marks the return of the Omnivore standings. I'll admit that these are very preliminary as the biggest factor (I have found) comes from posting unlikely TG assignments. At the moment my standings are only based on TG players that teams have chosen to dress so if you haven't dressed a higher PIM player from your baseline, you may actually be doing worse than shown. Still, I think it is probably a pretty good gauge. The early leader would be the Knights Templar. Sure they suck but they are sucking as efficiently as possible :-).
FYI, Dan and I are slowly walking through the Pool Expert site and my stats. I'll keep you posted on our progress.
