Game 7 (Indian Wells) Results

Game Week 7 Final Leaderboard

Women's tennis seems to be in pretty good shape if the last week and a half of tennis is anything to go by. We had three slam champions and the eternal semi finalist (Sakkari) make the final four and it certainly appears that Iga has a real challenge on her hands in the shape of Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka. Elena dismantled an "injured" Iga in the semi final and managed to keep her composure in the final to see off a misfiring Sabalenka.

In the men's event Carlos Alcaraz showed us once again why he is the brightest talent in men's tennis by playing some quite ridiculous tennis in a week where he defeated Kokkinakis, Griekspoor, Draper, FAA, Sinner and Medevedev without dropping a set. It brought to an end a remarkable 19 match unbeaten run for Daniil but given how much he hated the Indian Wells courts, this was a very succesful week for him!

Congratulations to our game week winner Marc Sab and "The Champs". This was a high scoring week all round as the top players really came to the fore so to win this game week you needed to have a really strong team. Marc had all four finalists plus semi finalists Swiatek and Sinner as well as decent supporting roles from Quarter Finalists Norrie and Fritz (who's contribution turned out to be fairly crucial).

Marc pipped Pete Schaumann into 2nd place but major Kudos to Pete and his team selection and placement. He had Alcaraz as Captain and Medvedev, Sabalenka and Rybakina as KPs as well as semi finalists Tiafoe and Sinner. Ultimately he only missed out because his other players Garcia and Pegula didn't perform as well as well as Norrie and Fritz.

The level 2 prize goes to 1st Round Loser. He also had all 4 finalists as well as 2 semi finalists but ultimately fell short due to the early exit of Holger Rune.

Congrats to all!

Website Improvement: Trade History

An improvement was made to the MY TEAMS section on the website - Trade History.  It shows every trade that you have made for the current season.  It not only lists the player that you traded in/out, but it also lists their Price at that specified time period and lists what Game Week you made the trade.

In order to use it, simply click the down arrow on Trade History, and if you dont need it anymore click the up arrow and it will hide it.

It is located on the right on your desktop and between the list of your leagues and your team on an IPad or Phone.

I have attached My Teams Trade History from the 2022 FTL season.

Game Week 6 - Weekly Leaderboard

We are always looking for ways to grow FTL and get more teams involved so this year we opened up the game to newbies who wanted to try it for free which resulted in the creation of the Global League which includes level 1 and level 2 supporters together with the free players. We have nearly 100 in the freebie category who are not eligible for prizes but we hope are enjoying playing along and might wish to become a level 1 or 2 supporter next year.

So it was great to see one of the new members winning Game Week 6 with a quite outstanding team.  Congratulations Igor Savic -  don't think Igor is in the group but hopefully someone knows him to pass on our congrats!

Igor's team this week was a belter of a team who did well across most of this weeks events. 

He had both Monterrey finalists - Vekic and Garcia and both Dubai finalists Rublev and Medvedev. In addition he had the Acapulco winner Alex De Minaur. Zverev and Fritz also returned fairly decent totals for the Scorpion Warriors!

Just 6 points behind in 2nd place was Martin Hoffman and Spotec23.  Martin had 4 winners with Austin winner Kostyuk, Santiago winner Jarry (coming in as an ER), Medvedev and Vekic.  Captain Novak scored well but Martin may well have won the game week if any of his KPs had been Captain instead.  Nevertheless, Martin is the weekly prize winner as level 2 participant!

 Rounding up the top 5 was fc Vepyrite (Силви Георгиев), Serve n Volley (Vivek another global member) and Mirzini Sinovi (Samir Kadrić-Jelenko)
