The New YFF Top 50: Player Picks


It looks like at least some gamers who were unlucky with Jussi this weekend departed the list, but not all. Solid performances by Lambert and Berbatov helped propel a few newcomers to the YFF stratosphere. I should know exactly how much turnover there was in a day or two, although it's easy to see our buddy Warm Up the Bus on top of the heap for the third consecutive week.

A fairly unspectacular 98.5 allowed me to move up a notch (to 7th) in BL5, crack the Top 50 in "Fans of Other,' with a 752 overall rank. I also expect to advance to the next round of the Blog Cup.There seems to be a lot of up and down movement in the BL5 table so far, so my strategy has been to play conservatively, avoid risks and maintain my place in Top Ten. As the season wears on that should be easier to do, and then I'll start taking some calculated risks and push toward the top.
