Team, the Eggs have been scrambled since the teams have started subbing folks all over the place. I’ve provided by best analysis based on the information available at the time I had. I’ll invoke the Rendulic rule – you can only hold me accountable for the info I had at the time. Good luck managers…you’ll need it as I’ll still win.
First, DORY AOUN and ADAM BRADLEY ARE OUT! Do not put them in your lineup. Andre Porfirio is most likely out.
Ryan Aitken – 14 points (1 kills, 2 breaks, 1 back take)
You can’t doubt Ryan Aitken. He just keeps putting up numbers. If you can afford him, you have to put him on your roster.
Fedor Nikolov 10th Planet Saint-Petersburg
Kyle Chambers 10th Planet Freaks
Caleb Crump Easton Training Center – Centennial
Kyle Boehm – 11 points (1 Kill, 1 break, 1 back take).
Boehm has been targeting his last two days of the PGF season from the start. He promised as such after Day 2. Boehm made good on that promise on day 2 and fantasy managers should bet on him to do so again, if not more so on day 3.
Caleb Crump Easton Training Center – Centennial
Cameron Hurd Ascend/TDBJJ
Kemoy Anderson 10th Planet Austin
Davis Asare – 9 points (1 kill, 1 break).
Davis was almost run over by a PGF fan whose fantasy team suffered from his day 2 performance. With headlights near his face, Asare said he’d do better. Asare is facing three tough competitors today, but he could still put points on the board. He’ll make it happen.
Kyle Chambers 10th Planet Freaks
Kemoy Anderson 10th Planet Austin
Ernesto Rivera American Top Team – Atlanta
Travis Thomas – 6 points (Kill)
Travis had his coming out party on PGF Season 7 Day 3. Now he faces some insanely dangerous opponents. Thomas has to think his best shot is against Haddad who has shown he’s susceptible to submissions.
Marcin Maciulewicz Aligatores Fight Club
Paul Ardila American Top Team – Atlanta
Nathan Haddad Helio Soneca Association
Chris Wojcik – 6 Points.
Wojcik will get two breaks. It’s not a popular opinion, but Wojcik is such a great talent that he’ll find a way to get two subs today. He faces serious competition, but he has a plan.
Cameron Hurd Ascend/TDBJJ
Nathan Haddad Helio Soneca Association
Kyle Chambers 10th Planet Freaks
Ernesto Rivera – 6 points
Ernesto is tall but not a 205lber. But he’s on the inside of the playoff hunt. He’s a dawg…as my fellow insiders tell me (I’m very boring and wanted to autocorrect that spelling). Attard would hypothetically be a target, but he’s found a way to escape from everyone. The Dory replacement is likely the best chance for Ernesto to get a sub and he’s a “dawg” (right guys?) so he might just get that kill. Seriously, I don’t even listen to music in my car; I listen to podcasts and audiobooks – I’m that dad.
Sebastian Attard Grappling Education
Dory Aoun HUSTLE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU (IBJJFF) – REPLACEMENT
Davis Asare New Wave JiuJitsu
Elijah Carlton – 6 points
Elijah faces Ardila who is not a good spot. He’ll have much better shots against Nikolov (yeah, the season 5 match was boring) and Schneider. Elijah needs to make sure he makes the playoffs so he’ll make it happen.
Paul Ardila American Top Team – Atlanta
Fedor Nikolov 10th Planet Saint-Petersburg
Bradley Schneider Pedigo Submission Fighting
Marcin Maciulewicz – 6 points (2 breaks)
Marcin continues to show off that Polish Power. He has the Commissioner, Brandon Mccaghren, planning on a future with Marcin. We’ve seen Eddie Bravo talking to Marcin on the sidelines. Marcin has proven everyone will know his name, even if they keep flubbing the pronunciation. Marcin is the truth – watch for him to make a deep run in the playoffs. For today, he has a chance to strike early against another playoff hopeful in Thomas (likely a draw, but Thomas has been susceptible to leg attacks). Marcin will probably get two breaks, but might get a third if he can threaten Thomas right (no need to take a bad pop when he is already in the playoffs).
Travis Thomas 10th planet Decatur
Caleb Crump Easton Training Center – Centennial
Adam Bradley B Team JiuJitsu – REPLACEMENT
Andre Porfirio/Abe the Mountain La Montagne – 3 points (1 break).
Porfirio is likely still out, meaning the Mountain will take his place. He’s got a good shot against the new reserve player, but not the rest.
Adam Bradley B Team JiuJitsu – REPLACEMENT
Sebastian Attard Grappling Education
Cameron Hurd Ascend/TDBJJ
Paul Ardila – 3 points (1 Kill, 1 back take)
Paul has had a target on his back (you’re welcome). Well, Paul answered the call and got three subs on day 3 – the day that normally breaks folks. Paul was the instrument of that breaking. Paul faces PGF standouts Elijah Carlton and Travis Thomas – who will seek to make a name for themselves, proving they are the PGF stars. Paul will likely get draws in those matches. Paul has to be looking at Attard as a good chance for a submission – Attard has forced draws in all his matches, but Ardila might be able to break that streak.
Elijah Carlton 10th planet Atlanta
Travis Thomas 10th planet Decatur
Sebastian Attard Grappling Education
Kyle Chambers – 0 points
Chambers might be the biggest name who wasn’t eliminated by injury that doesn’t make the PGF playoffs. Chambers’s leglock game is phenomenal. But Chambers hasn’t found the same success in the PGF. He faces a murderer’s row in his last day of the regular season.
Davis Asare New Wave JiuJitsu
Ryan Aitken 10th planet Atlanta
Chris Wojcik B Team JiuJitsu
Adam Bradley (OUT) – 0 points.
Bradley is a warrior. He had his leg eviscerated and still wanted to get out there.
Andre Porfirio Alpha Miami Grappling
Bradley Schneider Pedigo Submission Fighting
Marcin Maciulewicz Aligatores Fight Club
Sebastian Attard – 0 points.
Okay, so I’m probably Sebastian Attard’s biggest fan. All the Insiders love him. He’s been very close to hitting his setups, but close only counts in hand grenades and thermonuclear war. I want him to get a signature moment in the PGF, but my grandpa said you could want in one hand and take a poop in the other and see which gets the fullest the fastest. Maybe Sebastian needs to be in the next PGF in a lighter class, but he hasn’t been able to make things happen at 205.
Ernesto Rivera American Top Team – Atlanta
Andre Porfirio Alpha Miami Grappling
Paul Ardila American Top Team – Atlanta
Cam Hurd – 0 points
The Commissioner has said it. Cam was brought to the PGF in Season 5 to be a dunkable. Hurd’s drive and grit proved he would never be dunkable. Hurd went from a D1 wrestler with a decent front headlock to a guy who trades leg attacks with New Wave standouts. Cam isn’t a good fantasy play, but now you know him – you can’t help but cheer for Cam. He embodies the spirit of the PGF – Cam leaves it on the mat every time he competes!
Chris Wojcik B Team JiuJitsu
Kyle Boehm 10th Planet Freaks
Andre Porfirio Alpha Miami Grappling – REPLACEMENT
Kemoy Anderson – 0 points
Kemoy may still be suffering from back issues that made him miss some time earlier in the season. Early on, one might have circled the Scheider match as a very winnable match, but Schneider has shown he can really compete. After recommending rostering Kemoy for multiple days, we have to recommend avoiding him today.
Bradley Schneider Pedigo Submission Fighting
Davis Asare New Wave JiuJitsu
Kyle Boehm 10th Planet Freaks
Dory Aoun (OUT) – 0 points
Dory’s tough as can be, but he’s facing the best competitor of the three other teams. This day is his toughest challenge. He’ll attack, but he won’t submit.
Nathan Haddad Helio Soneca Association
Ernesto Rivera American Top Team – Atlanta
Fedor Nikolov 10th Planet Saint-Petersburg
REPLACEMENT Dory Aoun () – 0 points
Dory’s tough as can be, but he’s facing the best competitor of the three other teams. This day is his toughest challenge. He’ll attack, but he won’t submit.
Nathan Haddad Helio Soneca Association
Ernesto Rivera American Top Team – Atlanta
Fedor Nikolov 10th Planet Saint-Petersburg
Brad Schneider – 0 points.
Scheider went from zero to hero in PGF Season 7, day 2. He might find some things against Kemoy and Bradley’s replacement, but expecting a reduction to the mean is understandable.
Kemoy Anderson 10th Planet Austin
Adam Bradley B Team JiuJitsu – REPLACEMENT
Elijah Carlton 10th planet Atlanta
Caleb Crump – 0 points.
Caleb’s grit and scrambling has made so many fans. But even though he’s a fan favorite for showing his skills, you can’t bank on his fantasy points.
Kyle Boehm 10th Planet Freaks
Marcin Maciulewicz Aligatores Fight Club
Ryan Aitken 10th planet Atlanta
Fedor Nikolov – 0 points
Fedor is very dangerous, but he hasn’t shown the ability to hit a submission within the 6 minutes matches of PGF World this season. You shouldn’t roster him.
Ryan Aitken 10th planet Atlanta
Elijah Carlton 10th planet Atlanta
Dory Aoun HUSTLE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU (IBJJFF) – REPLACEMENT
Nathan Haddad – 0 points (but roster if active).
As of going to press (pressing “publish” on the web), we don’t know if Haddad is in or out. Haddad’s style has shown that even if he doesn’t get a submission, Haddad is a solid pickup for your fantasy team. If Haddad is active for the final day of the season, he’s probably worth a roster spot just for that Dory Aoun replacement player alone.
