NRL Fantasy Round 2, 2024 — Averages, Captain Picks & Top 1k

This chart plots your team's overall Total Score (Up/Down) against its CLEARY Index (Left/Right), reflecting your team's status after the displayed round.

The CLEARY Index (Cumulative score + Liquidity + Equity Assessment Round Yardstick) measures how your team is tracking based on key factors, compared to others at the same point in time. It looks at:

• Cumulative Score
• Team Value + Bank
• Trade Pacing — closer to the expected trades-used pace scores best (both burning through trades early and barely trading get penalised)
• Score Floor — your worst round so far; consistent teams with higher floors score better

A higher index (further right) means your team is tracking better. The focus shifts through the season: Value, Pacing, and Floor matter most early on, then Score takes over. By the final round, the index converges to the actual final ranking. Set-and-forget teams (no trades made) are excluded from the comparison.

Note: This index isn't perfect! It's just a different way to gauge progress beyond raw points, especially useful early on.
