This season our scouting department will be giving an update prior to the start of each game week to give you all the information you need to get your team top of the standings.
Roster Moves
Very quiet week for roster moves with the only move being that Richard Jarusek has been released from the Glasgow Clan after just five points in 28 league games so far this season. There is just the one GM who has him in their team.
Taking a look at the most selected players last week, we have a couple of Fife forwards in the top five. David Booth (+8 selections), Jere Vertanen (+7 selections), Josh MacDonald (+6 selections), Milan Lucic (+5 selections) and Nick Welsh (+4 selections) are the top increases from week 18 to week 19.
Who’s Hot?
It is time to revisit defence scoring this week with the scout seeing some less familiar names on the game sheets lately. If we take the last five weeks as a guide here are the top 10 players. First point to note is we have 4 Belfast players in the list showing how well they are playing and also how they are spreading the scoring out. Reid Irwin is the bargain at just 5.0M. Second on the list is Drydn Dow who is still putting up points on a struggling Dundee team, while Ian Scheid of Fife has been playing well on a much improved Fife team after their recent signings of the more experienced forward group.
| Player | Team | Total Points | New Value |
| Mike Lee | Belfast Giants | 176 | 9.5M |
| Drydn Dow | Dundee Stars | 159 | 9.5M |
| Steven Seigo | Glasgow Clan | 150 | 8.5M |
| Reid Irwin | Belfast Giants | 145 | 5.0M |
| Nicholas Welsh | Manchester Storm | 141 | 8.0M |
| Jere Vertanen | Coventry Blaze | 131 | 7.0M |
| David Noël | Nottingham Panthers | 117 | 9.5M |
| Bo Hanson | Belfast Giants | 105 | 6.5M |
| Gabe Bast | Belfast Giants | 103 | 9.0M |
| Ian Scheid | Fife Flyers | 96 | 6.5M |
Just the ten points for our pick last week, Josh MacDonald.
Current average points per week so far – 25.71 points.
