I agree about some of those rankings. They are kind of typical but then there are the handful of unusual ones like you mentioned. The PFW guys could have just put them up in their own order. Those guys often have some strange ratings on players. They could have just made the numbers up or something. I hope that's all it is.

Yeah me too, but I don't know, maybe they printed off the player cards and strung them up but what really gets me are those numerical values.

It's clearly out of 10, and some kind of formula for each position to garner overall value.
It looks like a tool to grade a player overall, while in a positional list.

This is a very elusive smoke screen or a grade A **** up.
