Dec 18, 2025

76 points from Free-Hit 16 means that I am back inside the top 2 million players with a 300k rank increase to 1.8 million OR. There will still a lot of points that I left out there.

Morgan Rogers and his 15 points were sat on my bench as first sub, while Hugo Ekitike and his 13 points nearly made their way into my team, instead of Watkins’ 5.
