Quantium Data Analysis: 2024 True Player Ownership Stats, Rd 4

Analysing the top 100,000 NRL Supercoach teams after Round 4

Injuries and suspensions have seen some major changes in ownership between round 3 and 4. 

The tables below sets out the proportion of teams in the top 100, top 500, top 1,000, top 5,000, top 10,000, top 20,000 and top 100,000 that own each player.  

I’ve included some brief commentary on changes since last week – primarily calling out changes in the top 100,000 teams. 

With so much early-season movement in rankings, apparent changes in ownership may just be because a certain player scored very highly (or lowly) causing teams with that play to jump or drop in the rankings.
