Though I'd say that's more of an anomaly because it was so difficult to rate players at the beginning. This is probably the easiest round for anti-teams in FPL history - I wouldn't expect it to be so easy in R2 though.
Just look at the list of people unlikely to come out to play.
KT - Motive Penguin Acacia Miso SKT - Bisu (lol) Sacsri s2 Khan - Juni hOpe Stars - Swift Hanbin Rudy NaGi CJ - Snow rare EG-Liquid Stephano STX - Bear size Comet Team 8 - Even though they have small roster, anyone beside Jaehoon / Baby / Ryul2 is likely to lose.
So many choices and alot of them aren't 1 / 2 pointers.
Most of them are 1/2 pointers, and Bisu and Sacsri are pretty likely to play with some regularity. Stephano technically isn't participating in R1, imo he should have been locked out of teams until he's in Korea.
Anyhow, I'd expect a lot of these players' ratings to be scaled down for R2 so even the loopholes that exist now will be closed.

Problem comes once KT starts losing... if that ever happens
they did start off with what was probably the 2 weakest teams though
would have been a good idea to start with KT and trade away the team later, smart
not even necessary to trade away KT i believe, unless you think they'll do bad after week 2. because:

too bad i didn't choose KT for round 1. but perhaps my belief in samsung khan will pay off and they win convincingly today.
whelp after a solid week 1 to go to tied #22 literally everyone lost lol (had to trade ryul, chose mind and he lost, fantasy lost, terminator my lone protoss lost).
so I'm out of the races. hope KT finally loses so silly bandwagon teams stop winning (skt bandwagons/cj bandwagons have also done incredibly well in the past)
