Nexus Review vs. Heads Review

Just a quick comparison between how the two systems ranked the various teams. The revised ranking is how the SH Team Review ranked them along with that score. The bracketed number is how the Nexus Review ranked the team. Some interesting disparities!

1. Wolves 16.0 (3rd)
2.T Bladerunners 15.5 (5th)
2.T Scourge 15.5 (T11th)
4. Lost Boys 15.0 (8th)
5. Severed Heads 14.5 (1st)
6. Edge 13.5 (10th)
7. Great Whites 13.0 (7th)
8. Ramapithicines 12.5 (9th)
9T. Shadowmen 12.0 (4th)
9T. T Knights Templar 12.0 (11thT)
11. Highlanders 11.5 (2nd)
12. Pers. Vendetta 9.5 (6th)

Key differences will be seen in how each system does at predicting the success of the PV and the Scourge. Both systems agree that the Great Whites are the 7th best FUNHL squad as currently constructed. Curiously my system has the Bladerunners as one of the top 2 teams with the Severed Heads in 5th place, while his system ranks the Severed Heads as the top team with the Bladerunners in 5th place. Perhaps familiarity breeds contempt?

While I like both comparisons, the idea of doing a pre-draft ranking seems somewhat odd to me.

Each gm will end the draft with 22 players and 8 prospects. That those same gms enter the draft with 10 players or 3 players isn't really important because by the end of the draft everyone will have a full roster.

Still, strangly prefer Brian's list. ;-)

The reason you find this odd Doug is well, uh - we're odd. Just something fun to do is the main reason and I agree 100% that how your team looks at the end of the ED (and by Christmas) is much more important than pre-draft. BUT the assessments Cam and I did do showcase some advantages that teams have in terms of asset strength. Especially FPs and Prospects. If you think this doesn't mean much, I'll give you all my prospect picks from next year for Green :-) Or you can just donate him to someone for free.
