Fantasy Acting League 2016 – Round Six

OK, guys. Last one of my backlog, so we are back to usual running times for a while now. Until I fall behind again. This round sees a few of the underdogs climb the rankings a bit, only to find themselves tripped up at the fact that WE ALL HAVE THE SAME ACTORS! But, that was always the downside to our picks. We knew that when we chose them. Thank you for being patient with me. I really do love this game and I really wanted to carry it on. Your support means a lot to me.

Round Analysis

Again, a little lacklustre once again. Idris Elba made the brunt of the scoring with a few meagre scorings from Maika Monroe and Woody Harrelson, hopelessly trapped in a failing sequel. Harrelson deserves better, that much is for sure. However, Elba has shaken up the bottom of the table somewhat. Seeing as three of us, including myself, had both Elba and Monroe, we scored ten points, which, in a slow round like this one, is quite the game-changer. Slip/Through Movies and Rhyme and Reason have planted themselves directly behind the top two combattants, suggesting that this year won’t simply be CPD and Drew having their annual personal duel. Speaking of their duel, however, Cinema Parrot Disco inched forward two points, leaving Drew unsure whether he is leading the race or simply being toyed with by a malicious, almighty player in the game.
