    FCW's Week 9 (and 10) Fantasy Outlook (12/25 -12/31)

    I hope you all had and are having a wonderful holiday season. While the food, fun, and festivities are probably at the forefront of your mind, don't forget the other important “F” of the season... Fantasy, of course.

     But first, let's recap the Fantasy Wrestling standings from Weeks 7 & 8.

    In the Week 7 Standings, Kent State's Josh Boggan (285) pinned all three of his opponents to lead the week with 18 Fpts. In second, with 17 Fts from four matches, was Arizona State’s Nicco Ruiz (165) in Redshirt. Wyatt Hendrickson had three matches and, surprisingly actually, came in third with 16 Fpts meaning he did not pin everyone! How Crazy!

    Week 8’s Fantasy leader is no stranger to weekly outlooks this season, 197 Gabe Sollars (IND) finished at the Sheridan Open with five matches and 21 Fpts. Teammate Donnell Washington (174) finished third for the week with 18 Fpts in four matches. Corbyn Munson (CMU) finished in second for the week with 19 Fpts.

    Some shake-ups in the Overall Standings happened as a result of the wild Week 7 & 8 results, with Trent Hidlay (NCST) taking over as the points leader by two Fpts. Caleb Henson falls to second with 71 Fpts.

    Zach Elam (MIZZ) remains in the Top-3, but a bonus-filled week for Taye Ghadiali (CAMP) has him up three spots to #4 and only one Fpt behind Elam. 

    Speaking of jumps in the standings, Jesse Mendez (OHST) made a huge leap from #16 to now #5 (a +14 Fpt gain), and Stephen Buchanan (OU) from #24 to now #11 (a +9 Fpt gain).

    On to Week 9:

    This is a much different Weekly Outlook than the past eight articles, mainly because there are only two events: The Ken Kraft Midlands Championships and the Soldier Salute Open.

    While some of the entrants are known, there are still some teams that have not released their entries and thus, will most likely see some updates through Thursday and Friday morning.

    In addition, Week 10 is an extremely quick turnaround with the Southern Scuffle kicking off Monday at 10 am along with duals on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

    As usual, entries are still coming in for each of these tournaments, so keep the notifications on for @FantasyD1Wrestl as updates will be posted to the InterMat Forum Fantasy Wrestling Board.

    A reminder of some important rules:

    • Wrestlers entered at a weight must compete at that weight or else their results will not be counted. Wrestlers in the “Floater” spots can compete at ANY weight and accumulate Fantasy points.
    • A wrestler will LOCK on your roster at 12pm ET on the day of their first competition for the week (refer to the SHP’s Week Preview).
    • Only results against D1 competition (starters, backups, and redshirts) will count towards Fantasy Points. 
    • Check your league settings to know how many add/drops are permitted per week.
