An Unknown Player   (615 Word Count)

 

A virtual unknown player, Derek England, has landed in Mexico City and is playing defense for the Kings in his rookie season. He had a slow start, as did the Kings but recently he is on the rise when it comes to his stock in the '67 VHL Draft that is a far way off. It isn't too early to take a look at his progress and give the VHL GMs a heads up of this rising d-man! The big jump happened after his donation went through and he garnered 42 TPE in one week! So let us take a look at what he has done so far this season in the way of TPE earnings. His first week was a bit slow, as he missed out on some of the Early Bird activities, like getting a sponsor and earning some cash. He was busy in Oryol Russia, playing in what most would consider a Beer League and got rushed to the Draft. He told us recently that he missed playing for the Oryol Wranlgers but it was time to make his mark in the best Sim League on the planet. 

 

So the first week was slow going as it appeared he had time to garner the extra TPE before the actual start of the season. He only gained 12 TPE total and 10 TPE was capped. This was an unfortunate 2 TPE miss as he was still learning the ropes. It appears that Super Agent was a bit busy and dropped the ball teaching him that he could do weekly reviews to gain that extra Capped TPE. Lesson learned later in the season and Derek has put his PR Team on the job! So the next week, the week ending, May 5th was a much better week in the way of TPE. Derek was able to earn 31 Total with the addition of the Rookie Profile and Biography. However, he yet again only gained 10 Capped TPE missing out on another 2! This would bring his loss up to 4 so far in his early career. The same news for the next week as he gained 12 Total but missed out on another 2. This brings his missed opportunities up to 6! The next week was the big jump! The week ending on May 26th he found the information on the donation TPE!! Now he earned 42 and since Trivia started he finally capped out at the 12 possible Cap Rate.

 

He was on a roll now and the next week followed up with another Capped 12 max along with banked doubles weeks which gave him 22 TPE earned when it was all said and done. This brings us to his last week of earnings in his 7 week career. He had his last doubles week claim and he made sure to get it in. He garnered another 22 TPE making it back to back weeks of 22! So this was 86 TPE earned in 3 short weeks which is a monster jump in the Draft Race. The last we seen Derek has been hovering around 20 on the list and should finish above the 200 Cap before the end of the season. It should be noted that he completely skipped the week ending on May 12th costing him a possible 14 TPE. This was due to fatigue but that brings us to a 20 TPE total that he missed and this would of put him at 191 Total TPE going into this week which would of been nice. He has stated that he regrets missing out on the 20 TPE but has his mind set of not missing any more down the road.
