Week 10 Training Results
We’re dancing in the halls here at the Screamin’ Seamen clubhouse. Arlen Lucas has joined Chuck Scales in the “excellent defending” club. With two of our starters on the back line at excellent defending, and wingback Tyler Willard at solid, opponents should have a difficult time finding the twine against us.

We purchased Arlen from Knightz of Lord way back in August, as one of our original defensive trainees. At the time he was valued at $41,000, and we paid $74,000 for him. Since then, his defending ability has improved twice, and his assessed value has jumped $113,000. This just goes to show what a long-term training program can accomplish.
2 players rose 1 level in form.
18 players saw their form remain the same as last week.
2 players lost a level of form (wingback Tyler Willard actually dropped 2 levels).
Top Form
After a number of weeks that saw us with a number of players at solid (7) form, someone finally took the next step. Keeper Darryl Read is now the only player on SSFC with excellent (8) form. With Darryl playing out of his head, “Corny” Jernigan at solid (7) form, and our back line showing steady improvement, opponents will be hard-pressed to score against us. This is just the sort of thing I like to see.
Super-sub Brooks Brannon and forward Ruben Stewart remain our “form dogs,” as they both remain stuck in weak (4) form.
Value
Average Player Value: $103,909
Total Player Value (22): $2,286,000
Wingback-turned-winger Ben McMahon reached an assessed value of $200,000 this week, becoming the first non-keeper on the club to reach that mark.
Up Next: Financial updates and our weekly youth pull on Saturday. After that, we travel to Detroit to take on the 1st place Ramblers. Although nothing is written in stone, this match will likely determine the series championship. You don’t want to miss this one!
