How does the Top 5 Picks Leaderboard work?
Each week your Top 5 Picks are scored against the changes made by the World Wide Editors. For each direct match, you score two points, and for each close match you score one point.A direct match is where your suggested change is exactly the same as a World Wide Editor change.A close match is where your suggested change is in the same direction as the World Wide Editors. so if you say Rio Ferdinand should be “significantly up” but the World Wide Editors just set Rio Ferdinand to “up”, that is a close match.You don’t lose points for disagreeing with the World Wide Editors (i.e. by suggesting a player should down-graded but the World Wide Editors upgrade that player).Over the course of the season, your weekly scores accumulate such that at the end of the season the person who has most closely matched the World Wide Editors’ changes throughout the season will be at the top of the leaderboard.
