    Poorest season for me ever since I started playing. At 350k with a -4. Let's see if I can Crack top 300k. Ignoring Watkins, and the Martinelli-Nketiah Hockey Cockey ruined my season. I perfectly managed to time all the Nketiah blanks and all the Martinelli blanks. Gor rid of Odergaard only for the lad to go on fire and score like 6 goals and a bunch of assists in the next 5 or so games. That's a 100 point swing right there.

      Sounds similar to me although dgw pushed me up 100k a few weeks ago. Managed to bench Odegard for his hauls recently and think I did same as you earlier in season with nketiah. My lowest finish was last year 240k and I’m 220k at the minute. Definitely game has got harder or I’ve run out of luck last few years!
