Here's the table if that was all that mattered in the game was positive 'counters'. Don't worry it won't be. (Well, not on my watch!)
1. Claymore Athletic FC - 109 (two places higher than real table, 32 more counters than last year)
2. Trusted By Millions - 105 (one place lower, 17 more)
=3. Stanley Athletic FC - 101 (one place lower, 13 more)
=3. Real Muppets - 101 (three places higher, six more)
5. The Fabulous Artisans - 89 (same place, one fewer)
6. Mega Buck Bandits - 84 (one place higher, two more)
7. Aardvark Abacus - 80 (three places lower, 18 fewer)
=8. San Dimas High School - 79 (same place, 17 fewer)
=8. The Wateringhole Society - 79 (three places higher, same)
10. YTFIB - 78 (one place lower, 29 more)
=11. Cheese Makers - 75 (one place lower, six fewer)
=11. Fred West LG XI - 75 (one place higher, 42 fewer)
13. Wheel Madrid - 70 (one place higher, 21 fewer)
14. The Cow-Faced Juniors - 67 (one place lower, 14 fewer)
15. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - 65 (same place, 26 fewer)
16. Markian United - 40 (same place, 22 fewer)
Our top three all making big improvements on last year's performance, along with YTFIB who started from a much lower base. Far more teams going in the opposite direction counters-wise. The bottom five in this table plus the Aardvarks and San Dimas appear to have work to do.
Counters against is possibly a decent indicator of luck in the game. Here's this year's list...
1. Wheel Madrid - 70
2. Aardvark Abacus - 71
=3. The Fabulous Artisans - 76
=3. Cheese Makers - 76
5. YTFIB - 77
=6. Trusted By Millions - 79
=6. Real Muppets - 79
=6. San Dimas High School - 79
9. Mega Buck Bandits - 83
10. Claymore Athletic FC - 84
=11. The Wateringhole Society - 85
=11. Fred West LG XI - 85
=11. The Cow-Faced Juniors - 85
14. Stanley Athletic FC - 88
=15. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - 90
=15. Markian United - 90
The bottom two propping up this list too. Wheels don't seem to have made the most of their fortune, Stanley had more than their share of counters against them.
