We've all heard the phrase "Just the luck of the draw" thrown around in sporting parlance. It's often used to brush off a bit of bad luck, or even good fortune. But let's take a little bit of a closer look at what that means for us here in the Steemit @aflfantasy Draft League.
Well that's it folks. The AFL Fantasy finals are here and the "Home and Away" season is done and dusted - no, not the Alf Stewart Home & Away - that shit goes on forever....
By now I'm comfortable that you know how I calculate the luck ladder each, week, but just in case you want to refresh your memory, you can always click the small link below and have a look at last week's post.
So how did we all fare in the final round?
Playing for Draft Picks (@shesasaint) finished the season strongest and top scored this week, so she gets 1 Expected Win, and farqers (@far) bottomed out for the lowest score, with 0 expected wins. The rest of us fall somewhere in between.
So now the bit I hope you're actually interested in (otherwise this has been a bit of a waste of time for me each week)....the luck rankings
The Top 3 Luckiest
3rd Luckiest, with a Differential of +1.167 wins more than expected was Little Old Lady....
2nd Luckiest, with a Differential of +1.635 was Piston-Broke (me)....
And the Luckiest by a fairly close margin, with a Differential of +1.734 was Lockout (@o07)
Congratulations to the three of you, you rode your luck through the season and are all set to enjoy some finals action..
And now for the other end of the scale.
The Top 3 Unluckiest
3rd....with a Differential of -1.000 was Cunning Stunts.....
2nd....with a Differential of -2.000 was Brockie's Superstars.....
But the Absolute Unluckiest over the course of the season, with a Differential -2.333 was
Medhurst's Minions....
Comiserations @medhursc, the Footy Gods seemed to be out to thwart you at every turn this season. Hopefully Season 2019 will bring you better fortune.
For those of you interested in the full standings, the graphic belows shows where we all finished.
Good Luck to everyone who made the finals, and if you didn't hopefully you'll be back to play again next season.
If you've enjoyed these updates this season, please let me know. If there's any additional information you think would be useful, leave me a comment. I'm keen to revisit these posts next season and I want to make them as useful and informative for everyone so any feedback (good or bad) is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
