Player Scores
The player scores have now been updated after week 12, unless there are changes to the game sheets prior to the week change on Tuesday night.
We have a good mix of players across different teams in the top 10 scorers this week but leading the way with 49 points is Colton Saucerman of the Sheffield Steelers who picked up four assists over the week with three of them being on the powerplay. His teammate Scott Allen is second with 44 points, with one of his two goals being short-handed. Top goalie this week is Evan Weninger of the Manchester Storm who shutout the Flyers over the weekend to take him to 41.2 points for the week.
A three game week for Cardiff helped Brandon Alderson (37 points), Trevor Cox (40 points) and Justin Crandall (37 points) all make the top 10. Peter Crinella has made the top 10 a regular place for him lately and his is there again with 39 points after another three goals this week. This consistency has seen his value increase for the next game week. You can see all the value increases in the roster section below.
Marcus Crawford remains at the top of the overall scoring with 287 points. Patrick Watling has moved into second place with 257 points after scoring over 30 points for the second week in a row. A bit further down we have Kobe Roth and Ian McNulty tied for seventh position with 232 points for the in-form Coventry Blaze.

League Standings
There were some high scores this week and it is “For Crying Out Dowd” managed by Tom Bridges who scored 374.8 points and were the highest scoring team of the week. Cardiff’s Trevor Cox was the captain for the week so his 80 points was the biggest contributor to the score. The weekly top scorer Colton Saucerman was helped out by Cody Donaghey (30 points) and Nate Kallen (26 points) in defence, while up front Quinn Preston (36 points) and Peter Crinella (39 points) carried the load.
In the overall standings there isn’t much change at the top as our top three teams all scored between 268 and 279.5 points. They have created a bit of gap to fourth with defending champion Jon Newbould 59 points back. Our weekly top scorer “For Crying Out Dowd” moves up to 30th after their great week.
Roster Moves
There are two new signings this week with both being familiar faces to the league. First up is former Storm defenceman Joe Hazeldine who returns to his hometown team, the Nottingham Panthers. Even though Joe has been around the league for a while he is still just 22 and shown improvement in 2022/23. He started the year in Hungary and moves to Nottingham to finish the rest of the year. He is added into the game with a 4.5M value. Elsewhere Henrik Eriksson has signed back with the Belfast Giants as they continue to struggle with injuries and form. He scored 11 points in 14 games last year with the Giants so they know they are signing a productive player. He is onto his third team already this season so may well take some time to settle down. He is added into the game with a 8.0M value.
We mentioned last week that Zach Vinnell had left the Glasgow Clan, and he has now signed with the Sheffield Steelers with Sam Jones now being out for a while. He is now added to the Sheffield roster and if you still have him for the Clan then he won’t be earning any points for you.
In terms of selections Dominic Cormier is the one to watch at the moment as he has been brought in by 8 more teams this week to take him up to 13 overall now since signing with the Steelers. He was held scoreless over the week though for his 8 new GM’s. The Dundee Stars also have some popular players at the moment with Ryan Valentini (7 teams), Drydn Dow (6 teams) and Spencer Naas (4 teams) all having increased ownership in week 12.
On the other side, we’ll have some GM’s up for the sack this week after some poor decision making in releasing players last week. The players traded away the most were Colton Saucerman, who top scored for the week, Quinn Preston who scored 36 points and Cody Donaghey who scored 30 points. The trading away of Belfast’s players continues with Quinn Preston (6 teams), Ben Lake (4 teams), Ciaran Long (4 teams), Jeff Baum (3 teams) and Daniel Tedesco (2 teams) all being in the top seven players traded away over the last week.
The player values are being updated for week 13 with the top 10 scorers from weeks 7-12 receiving a value boost. Below are the new values.
Marcus Crawford (172 points) – 9.5M
Peter Crinella (172 points) – 9.0M
Spencer Naas (167 points) – 6.5M
Cole Sanford (143 points) – 10.0M
Lewis Hook (142 points) – 7.5M
Eamon McAdam (138 points) – 9.0M
Drydn Dow (137 points) – 8.5M
Ryan Valentini (131 points) – 9.0M
Evan Mosey (130 points) – 7.5M
Kevin Carr (128 points) – 9.0M
