DLE- ARC Power Rankings 4.5
DLE's ARC Power Rankings 4.5

Here we go, Round 5 Rankings. No Game after Round 5 was considered in these rankings.


1.) Wolfenburg Wolfskins (-): Win over divisional rival 3C secures this Top spot even more and makes the playoff run even more hopeful, although this win came with a steep price tag... The life of Franchise Player and ST4 Blitzer Clinton Portis

2.) Broekwater Patriots (-): 5 Casualties against the Eagles in a tight win. This one not nearly as costly as the Pelts victory, although the Pats lost a player of their own in the dirty kicker, Dustin Hopkins.

3.) Flashfurt Universe (+1): Defending champs get a victory over division rival Emsk to keep pace with the 1-Horns in the divisional hunt.

4.) Monte Castello Wreckers (+1): Tying with Kemperbad the game after losing Franchise Thrower Hoffnung, and playing without 3 of 4 blitzers proves that MCW belongs up here.

5.) Templehof Thunder (+5): The Thunder take a large hop up the rankings this round as not only do they remain undefeated at (4/1/0), but this 4th victory came against the league's only 4 win team at the time. Top record in SHC.

6.) San Luis 49ers (+2): Not as impressive this week, but they manage a draw with division rival Wolfsbach. But that smashed knee that Ubah-killah Dave Wilcox suffered could hurt the Noners in the long run.

7.) Wolfsbach Scimitars (+4): The Butter knives are still undefeated at 3/2/0. The KFC South seems to be a real battlefield this season. And Wolfsbach seems to be proving that last season was a fluke.

8.) Kemperbad Knights (-5): Last round I promised this slide. The Knights are undefeated, but they've only won 1 of 5 games. They may not even deserve to be this high in the rankings. They aren't even currently in first in their division.

9.) Bilbali Rangers (+6): The restructured, relocated, new-look Rangers are Hot, Hot, Hot. I believe they were sleep-walking for 2 rounds, but now the Beast seems to be AWAKE! This round they broke up some legionnaires on their way to victory.

10.) Rotenbach Razorbacks (+3): Back into the Top 10 with a victory over the 'Bolts. The Hawgs are keeping pace with their division rivals (just 1 point back).

11.) Hargendorf Unicorns (-2): They may have lost to the Thunder, but they are still have one of the best records in the league.

12.) Irrana Avalanche (+5): Irrana is doing the opposite of what an avalanche does. They are climbing at lightning speed. 13 spots in 2 weeks with back to back victories over Top teams.

13.) Kislev White Wolves (-6): Loss to Irrana could tell more about the Avalanche than the White Wolves. But regardless, losing to a team that I expect you to beat will get you a slide down these Rankings.

14.) Norden Legion (-8): Not only did they lose to a team that I think they should have beat, but they lost lots of personnel too. There is still time to recover, but 1/2/2 and currently 3rd in their division doesn't look promising.

15.) Grenzburg Greenskins (+3): The Greenskins continue to win. It looks more and more like those "Orcs" are coming to life.

16.) Praag Grizzlies (+5): At 2/2/1 The Bear Cubs are in 2nd place in the SHC North and looking to make the playoff push. Coach sonrises is working wonders with that roster and is deserving of a raise. I'm sure there are several other DLE franchises that would pay such a spectacular coach at least twice that amount.

17.) Erengrad Vikings (-5): Consecutive draws versus non-playoff teams from last season have the Vikes plummeting down the charts.

18.) Emsk Red Cardinals (-2): Expected loss to the Universe makes the Red Birds dive just a little.

19.) Nuln Gunners (-): Earned a victory, albeit versus one of the leagues bottom-feeders. Gunners maintain this spot.

20.) Brionne Buccaneers (+2): Hard to believe it took 5 Rounds to see the Bucs first tally in the win column, but that is the current state of affairs in Brionne.

21.) Marienburg Foxes (-7): Not much more to say than... WINLESS.

22.) Muckenhof Manticores (-2): Loss to Grenzburg... The Maticores continue to Wallow in the Muck.

23.) Carroburg Crimson Cascade (-): 3C has been a disappointment to their faithful this season. If they don't turn it around quickly, the Red that the fans may be calling for is the blood of Coach Vatn.

24.) Remas Eagles (-): The Birds of Prey hold steady after a tight, but expected loss to the Pats.

25.) Altdorf Thunderbolts (-): 'Bolts lose 2nd in a row to pull them to .500 overall. They need to turn it around soon to avoid another losing season.

26.) Los Cabos Marauders (+2): Another slight bump for LCM as they get another victory over another low ranked team.

27.) Averheim River Bandits (+2): First non-loss of season in a victory over the Foxes gives ARB a slight jump, but to make a climb back up the rankings they are going to have to prove they deserve it with a little consistency.

28.) Barboza Bruisers (-2): Loss vs lower ranked team will drop you almost every time.

29.) Middenheim Classics (+1): First victory of season helps the Classics climb just 1 spot. Would have been more, but the win was versus the lowly 'Fins.

30.) Fort Solace Griffins (-3): Another loss and the 'Fins freefall continues.

31.) Talabheim Sluggers (-): Heard through the grapevine that the Sluggers might be adding some "Slugging" Power at the mid-season window. That might help them climb out of these lower spots.

32.) Skar Bay Sharks (-): Another loss, this time to the winless Bucs. Nuffle please help the Sharks. Take a little bit of the Pelts, Pats, and Universe's Good Luck and share it with them. Thank you!

Yup, it has not been a good start in Erengrad. And last game new draft Markus Wheaton dropped the ball he was passed instead of securing 2-1, which also opened up for the attack on our other first round recruit Steve Beauharnais, who was niggled (apo fail, again!).

Wolfskins next. So far we have never lost to them. I guess it's time to prove our worth.
Posted by spelledaren on 2017-08-24 06:43:10
OOps, wrong name there, Sharrif Floyd was niggled. Steve just got a -AV the game before!

Excellent work. Also, the nitpicks, wishes and bribes worked into this version. Great thing the author takes the input. :)

Really a lovely morning read Arcayn. Can't think of anything better than a cup of hot coffee, and then poring (not the coffee) over this the next 10-15 minutes.

I have to admit, I agree with pretty much all your observations and rankings, and very happy to see the Wolfskins on top :-) I don't think we'll stay there all season, but it's nice while it lasts.

Thanks again!

i just love to read this writeup. And putting me in and out of playoff every round seems very precise.

however. This was a nice blooper.

"do they remain undefeated at (4/0/1)" ;)

Great read, again. Thank you!

I don't know what you're talking about SpecialOne.... :P


Actually, Thanks for the catch, it's been corrected.

Jeffrey and two 12 years old school boys are standing next to coach sonrises office door. Jeffrey knocks on the door.
"who's that?"
"Jeffrey coach! may i come in?"
"of course!" shouts coach sonrises eagerly excited from the inside.
Jeffrey turns to the boys and goes "wait for me here please, 2 min only" and walks into the office.
"hello Jeffrey! what a nice morning! isn't it?"
"sure, coach"
"come on Jeffrey cheer up! have you read ARC Rankings?"
"yes, quick look this morning. We are progressing well it seems, coach." replies Jeffrey without much enthusiasm. He knows that look in coach sonrises face and knows that nothing good is coming when coach is in such a mood. Jeffrey tries to go straight to business before things get weired "By the way coach, two nice lads are outside the office for an interview with you and..."
Coach sonrises interrupt Jeffrey.
"That's all you have to say about ARC Rankings? Get the Magazine Jeffrey and read entry #16 loud to me!"
"whatz!? but coach..."
"Read Now!" shouts sonrises
Jeffrey looks very annoyed but takes a long breath and starts "At 2/2/1 The Bear Cubs are..."
"Not this part Jeffrey! the important bits!" coach gets next to Jeffrey and points out a sentence in the magazine "start here Jeffrey!"
"Coach sonrises is working wonders with that roster..." goes Jeffrey
"Very accurate statement from Acayn, dont you think Jeffrey?"
"well, sure... but we havent played the top teams yet except for the pelts and we lost and..."
"Stop it Jeffrey! Read it again!"
"Coach sonrises is working wonders with that roster..."
"Now better? You get the meaning? or do you need to read it again? Jeffrey?"
Jeffrey is mad with coach sonrises but makes and effort to calm down and replies "Of course coach, very accurate statement from Arcayn"
"Good Jeffrey!. Now read here...aloud!"
Jeffrey needs to breathe in again and calm down before starting reading again "I'm sure there are several other DLE franchises that would pay such a spectacular coach at least twice that amount..."
sonrises interrupts again "My dear Jeffrey, are you feeling well this morning? Come on man! put some passion when you read this bit! Read properly jeffrey!"
"but coach..."
"read with PASSION now!!" shouts sonrises
"...SUCH SPECTACULAR COACH..." shouts jeffrey at full voice
"much, much, much better Jeffrey...thanks. So, you came because press outside waiting, right? We don't want to make them wait, do we? Spike Magazine, i guess...after such a good review..."
"I don't think so, just the Teddy Bear high School Magazine" replies jeffrey switfly with a sick smile across his face "have to go now coach. bye"
Jeffrey darts off the office and stops by the two young boys "go in now...and good luck"
Jeffrey leaves Grizz HQ really angry...coach sonrises is a complete idiot! full stop. Time to get him out of the job! Grizz coach seat must be Jeffrey's!.

Well done...
Posted by bghandras on 2017-08-24 15:41:23
I wonder about jeffery's credentials...
Posted by thoralf on 2017-08-24 22:09:41
And I wonder about jeffrey's priors.

I already know where Sluggers will be in the next round. ROCK BOTTOM.
