GameWeek 16 has come and gone, and the top of the Season Leaderboard remains virtually the same. I'd like to tell you that meant that everyone at the top of the leaderboard had a great week, but I just cannot. The week after a Slam is always tricky, and the week after a Slam where there's a change in surface is far far trickier. As a result, every time you turned around another seed lost - in fact in Nottingham, not a single seed reached the Quarter Final.
Robyn (Thanks But No Shanks) had a team that looked good on paper, but by the time the dust settled, she only had one player (her captain - Samsonova) win more than 2 matches. She only amassed 187 points (which was 160 points behind our GW victor) but it was plenty good enough for her to continue to hold onto the overall lead.
Aoun (Fedex Superstars) had a very similar week to our overall leader, as he only amassed 181 points. Also like Robyn, he only had one player (Samsonova) win more than 2 matches, but sadly he had 2 players lose in R1 (Medvedev and Tsitsipas). I'll be honest, its still hard to fathom how poorly his team did considering how good the lineup looked like coming in. At least for his sake, he continues to sit in 2nd just 40 points behind.
Hard to imagine saying this but Tricia (Prepare for CzechMate) had 3 players lose in R1 and ended up gaining ground on both managers ranked ahead of her. It wasn't alot, but she picked up 16 on Aoun and 10 on Robyn. She finished in 45th for the GW as she amassed 197 points - her week was saved by Struff making the final.
Samir (Mirzini Sinovi)moved up 2 spots this week thanks to a 12th place finish this week. His week is similar to Tricia's, as he had 4 R1 losses (Medvedev, Haddad Maia, Bonaventure and Gojo), but he had Alexandrova as his Captain and Struff as a TP. He picked up 80 points on our overall leader.
