Anyone know the equation Fleaflicker uses to arrive at the "Luck" number?

This is essentially how "Luck" is calculated:

total_teams = number of teams in your league

rank = your weekly ranking relative to the rest of the teams in your league

if you won your weekly match-up:

Luck = (rank - 1) * (1 / total_teams) * 100

if you lost your weekly match-up:

Luck = (rank - total_teams) * (1 / total_teams) * 100

thanks, so it has to with Rank in the week and not actual points scored during the week.

Actual points scored during the week does matter. Points scored during the week is what determines "rank" in the week.

right, understood that, but if in the weekly ranking the team above you has 120pts and the team below you has 95, your luck would be the same regardless if you scored 119 or 94?

Incorrect.

If you scored 119, the 120 would be ranked higher than you and the 95 would be ranked lower, obviously.

But, if you scored 94, both other scores would be ranked higher, thus your rank would be one spot lower than if you scored 119.

This slight difference in rank would change the "Luck" calculation.
