Damnit, Bottas garbage time wins are going to hurt my totals.

I want to say I was as low as 4th or 5th early in the year.

*edit* Short thread, yeah. I've been as high as first and as low as fifth. MR25 went from 1st to like 4th in the same race.

I have no luck in this... at least I prepped myself for the collapse.

Round 20 - Brazil

This race:
Cbear3 - 30
dodint - 32
MR25 - 20
Shyster - 17
tifosi - 24

1. Cbear3 - 573
2. dodint - 569
3. Shyster - 496

6. MR25 - 469

And the collapse is complete.

I'm oddly pleased with how the season unfolds.

One race, all the marbles...

This will be close.

Congrats @dodint
I think it’s you by 4.

Thanks. I forgot Leclerc had scored points this race, I thought you might have had me covered.

@Shyster

If you wanted to go again, these are the numbers my other league is going with. I'm not sure I agree, particularly that LEC is a higher value than BOT, but, whatever.

Saves me having to come up with numbers myself. Thanks!

@dodint

Is the overall budget still $40 million for those numbers?

Yessir.

Well the Ferrari has been really good in testing, and Bottas is Bottas.

Mercedes are sandbagging pricks.

That too.

I think I shall continue my strategy (*snicker*) of selecting the maximum number of drivers that no one else will be selecting.

Did the person who put this table together share their methodology? I agree that perhaps BOT and LEC should be flipped, but I'd go further and say both are slightly overvalued here. But I'm not going to tip the cart, if we run with these as-is that's cool.

And it's a sad to see Bob at 1.

They're done by hand but their initial foundation is betting odds; we were waiting for them to be published so he could make the derivative numbers. There was some mention of the ability to purchase all the Formula 1.5 runners if you wanted. No idea how that manifested in the actual numbers since that league has unique teams.

The same person has been doing those numbers for us for like a decade so I don't question much (except the LEC thing, but even then I didn't voice my concern to them).
