| Rk | Tm | W | L | W1 | W2 |  W3 | HLF | AHLF | Win Div% | Win WC% | Playoff% | 1-Day | 7-Day |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | 11 | 4 | 11.4 | 12.9 | 12.6 | .664 | .668 | 36.5% | 31.8% | 68.3% | -4.3% | 11.5% |
| Euron Greyjoy: Total wildcards who seem equally likely to be irrelevant come mid-season or to be major players at the very end. If you root for them you’re a bit of a psycho. | |||||||||||||
| 2 |  | 10 | 5 | 9.0 | 11.7 | 12.3 | .662 | .667 | 88.7% | 6.8% | 95.5% | -0.1% | 4.9% |
| The Night King: A long and trying rebuild has led to a very deep and impressive supporting cast. Will recruit anything and anyone in the name of their end goal. | |||||||||||||
| 3 |  | 13 | 4 | 11.4 | 11.1 | 10.7 | .572 | .576 | 4.8% | 24.7% | 29.5% | -3.9% | 5.8% |
| Harry Strickland: A random source of power emerges from seemingly out of nowhere. Probably won’t have much to do with the end game, but will be fun to watch while it lasts. | |||||||||||||
| 4 |  | 8 | 8 | 9.4 | 10.8 | 10.3 | .591 | .586 | 69.5% | 9.1% | 78.6% | 0.5% | -7.4% |
| Jon Snow: A talented and resourceful leader who has a lot of trouble closing out battles. It’s hard to imagine they’ll earn a truly happy ending at this point. | |||||||||||||
| 5 |  | 10 | 8 | 10.6 | 10.9 | 10.2 | .535 | .540 | 4.2% | 21.5% | 25.7% | 3.8% | 6.9% |
| Varys: Always involved despite what looks like a lack of talent on the surface. Relies more on wit and guile than pure ability. Tends to disappear when the fighting gets thickest. | |||||||||||||
| 6 |  | 10 | 5 | 7.5 | 8.4 | 8.5 | .553 | .548 | 42.8% | 13.1% | 55.9% | 2.2% | -0.3% |
| Davos Seaworth: Solidified power through many shrewd moves. Eminently likable, but not known for their glovework. In more of a supporting role at the end of the day. | |||||||||||||
| 7 |  | 6 | 8 | 8.3 | 9.1 | 8.3 | .576 | .581 | 42.0% | 30.5% | 72.5% | 3.2% | -10.9% |
| Cersei Lannister: Still a major threat despite some recent down years. More fun to root for than you care to admit. Main source of power at this point stems from very large men. | |||||||||||||
| 8 |  | 11 | 5 | 8.1 | 8.3 | 8.0 | .525 | .520 | 18.0% | 15.8% | 33.8% | 3.2% | 10.5% |
| Gendry: On the upswing after years of irrelevance, but won’t develop in time to be a serious contender for now. Could re-establish rule in a year or two with a literal murderer’s row. | |||||||||||||
| 9 |  | 8 | 6 | 8.1 | 8.5 | 8.0 | .556 | .551 | 18.7% | 23.4% | 42.1% | 3.9% | 8.1% |
| Samwell Tarly: Really gaining steam over the past several seasons. Good at taking advantage of rigged systems to get what they want. Still not a great fighter to date. | |||||||||||||
| 10 |  | 7 | 6 | 6.6 | 7.8 | 7.9 | .527 | .522 | 10.5% | 7.4% | 17.9% | -5.5% | -8.5% |
| Yara Greyjoy: Once-promising Pirates who are pretty much out-of-site, out-of-mind at this point. Both must contend with disappointing Archers. | |||||||||||||
| 11 |  | 8 | 6 | 8.2 | 7.1 | 7.6 | .538 | .533 | 30.0% | 15.8% | 45.8% | 2.1% | 8.1% |
| Theon Greyjoy: Literally no one wants to see them succeed outside of a few sick fans. Will probably end up being integral to the end game because that’s how our world works. | |||||||||||||
| 12 |  | 7 | 9 | 7.5 | 7.0 | 7.5 | .444 | .439 | 0.9% | 1.9% | 2.8% | 0.9% | 1.1% |
| The Mountain: Slow, lumbering Giants who are dealing with the consequences of botched resurrections. We’re all tired of them prevailing when the odds were against them anyway. | |||||||||||||
| 13 |  | 5 | 9 | 7.3 | 7.3 | 7.2 | .486 | .481 | 6.8% | 5.5% | 12.3% | -1.7% | 1.8% |
| Tyrion Lannister: Former plucky underdog turned failed know-it-all. Still fairly influential but losing clout to more relevant powers that be. Part of a pretty racist family tbh. | |||||||||||||
| 14 |  | 9 | 5 | 7.4 | 7.1 | 7.2 | .548 | .543 | 30.5% | 29.4% | 59.9% | -3.5% | 0.1% |
| Sansa Stark: You kind of wish them the best after all they’ve been through but you’re also pretty tired of having to hear about them. Never gonna be as popular as their sibling. | |||||||||||||
| 15 |  | 5 | 8 | 7.8 | 6.9 | 6.8 | .510 | .505 | 9.9% | 6.8% | 16.7% | 2.2% | 5.8% |
| The Hound: More likable than they used to be, but really just out here looking for a more respectable way to die. | |||||||||||||
| 16 |  | 7 | 6 | 7.6 | 6.8 | 6.8 | .545 | .540 | 28.6% | 29.3% | 57.9% | 7.2% | 7.6% |
| Jaime Lannister: Always looks really great but routinely makes some pretty bad decisions. Seems to be an arm or two short despite considerable investments on that front. | |||||||||||||
| 17 |  | 8 | 6 | 6.0 | 6.8 | 6.6 | .453 | .457 | 0.8% | 2.8% | 3.6% | 1.2% | -0.6% |
| Grey Worm: Emblematic of once-mighty forces that’ve been destroyed by years of mismanagement. Lots of trouble building farm systems, albeit for different reasons. | |||||||||||||
| 18 |  | 7 | 4 | 6.5 | 6.8 | 6.6 | .562 | .567 | 20.6% | 26.1% | 46.7% | 4.9% | -2.6% |
| Brienne of Tarth: More powerful than people give them credit for but exist largely only to prop up others. A very questionable guardian of young talent. | |||||||||||||
| 19 |  | 6 | 9 | 6.5 | 6.7 | 6.6 | .461 | .456 | 4.7% | 6.1% | 10.8% | -5.5% | -9.5% |
| Jorah Mormont: You can’t help but feel for ‘em, really. We’ve seen them go through plenty of highs and lows. Hard to feel good about their odds this season. | |||||||||||||
| 20 |  | 8 | 5 | 6.9 | 6.3 | 6.4 | .537 | .532 | 22.2% | 30.3% | 52.5% | -5.9% | -2.5% |
| Arya Stark: A long and winding road has brought them back to prominence. Easy to root for but occasionally makes some pretty disturbing decisions. | |||||||||||||
| 21 |  | 4 | 10 | 6.0 | 6.1 | 6.2 | .426 | .431 | 1.1% | 2.6% | 3.7% | 2.1% | -1.2% |
| Robert Baratheon: GODS, THEY WERE STRONG. START THE DAMN SEASON BEFORE THEY PISS THEMSELVES. | |||||||||||||
| 22 |  | 8 | 7 | 7.7 | 5.9 | 5.9 | .471 | .476 | 1.9% | 10.9% | 12.8% | -1.4% | 1.2% |
| Melisandre of Ashai: Occasionally dazzles with power and looks great in red, but is far too reliant on a single savior. NOT to be trusted with young talent. | |||||||||||||
| 23 |  | 8 | 6 | 6.7 | 5.6 | 5.4 | .527 | .532 | 77.1% | 11.6% | 88.7% | -4.1% | -3.7% |
| Bran Stark: Has no idea how to best use their considerable powers. Only has a limited window in which to be a major player and it’s looking like they might blow it. | |||||||||||||
| 24 |  | 5 | 10 | 5.0 | 5.4 | 5.3 | .455 | .460 | 20.7% | 26.1% | 46.8% | -2.1% | -6.6% |
| Daenerys Targaryen: The reigning conqueror returns, but with fewer reliable flamethrowers. Inspires intense love in some subjects, abject hatred in others. Gets rather petty when things aren’t going well. | |||||||||||||
| 25 |  | 5 | 10 | 6.8 | 5.3 | 5.0 | .413 | .418 | 0.8% | 2.4% | 3.2% | 1.4% | -0.5% |
| Wyman Manderly: Could be a great power up north, but seem more concerned with protecting its youth than joining the fray. Much better on paper than on TV. | |||||||||||||
| 26 |  | 6 | 7 | 6.1 | 4.6 | 4.7 | .419 | .424 | 0.4% | 1.4% | 1.8% | -0.2% | -1.8% |
| Podrick Payne: Really good with the boomstick but otherwise pretty clumsy and ineffective. Fun to watch every now and then but not very important at the moment. | |||||||||||||
| 27 |  | 4 | 11 | 4.1 | 4.4 | 4.5 | .343 | .338 | 0.0% | 0.2% | 0.2% | 0.2% | 0.0% |
| Qyburn: Only exists to provide more serious contenders with capable weapons. | |||||||||||||
| 28 |  | 4 | 9 | 4.1 | 3.9 | 4.3 | .372 | .377 | 0.4% | 0.8% | 1.2% | -0.4% | -2.3% |
| Robin Arryn: Has missed several chances to be a more serious contender. Still young, sure, but that in and of itself isn’t much of a virtue. | |||||||||||||
| 29 |  | 6 | 9 | 4.9 | 3.4 | 3.6 | .323 | .327 | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% | -0.1% | -0.1% |
| Tormund: Pretty much just here for comic relief at this point. Still, it’s kind of sad to watch them struggle and die. | |||||||||||||
| 30 |  | 3 | 12 | 3.7 | 2.9 | 3.2 | .372 | .367 | 6.9% | 5.9% | 12.8% | -0.3% | -14.9% |
| Bronn: Incredibly fun to root for and looks great in a vest. Historically performs well at altitude. Unlikely to matter much at the end. | |||||||||||||
