Peaxel GW 2026-17 Recap: LIAM HEINZEL DROPS A BOMB ON THE ARENA
464,124 points. Read that again. Liam Heinzel just delivered the most dominant single-gameweek performance we’ve seen in months—and he did it flying through the air on two wheels. The Arena doesn’t lie. This week, it screamed.
👑 THE DOMINANT FORCE
Liam Heinzel (Motorcycle FMX) didn’t just win GW 2026-17. He obliterated it. His 464,124-point haul is nearly double the second-place finisher—a margin so absurd it demands respect. FMX has always been a volatile category in the Arena, but Heinzel has now established himself as the undisputed force in Motor Sports. Managers who’ve been holding his card? You’re sitting on gold. Those who slept? The leaderboard waits for no one.
🔥 THE RISING BLOC
#2 Hugo Wigglesworth (Kiteboarding) — 280,406 points. The Water Sports king delivers again. Consistent. Dangerous. A roster staple.
#3 Marky Math (Mountain Biking) — 275,543 points. MTB continues to dominate Extreme Sports. Marky’s been building momentum all season.
#4 Oubaya Said (Karate) — 269,225 points. Fight Sports’ top performer. Karate is having a moment in the Arena.
#5 Lucio Vellutino (Mountain Biking) — 259,403 points. Two MTB riders in the top 5. The sport is on fire.
#6 Xavier Gilbee (Freestyle BMX) — 231,704 points. BMX Freestyle finally gets its spotlight. Gilbee delivered.
#7 Omo Aike (Trampoline) — 210,756 points. Olympic Sports represented. Trampoline proving its Arena value.
#8 Victor Crouin (Squash) — 183,017 points. The Squash specialist continues to climb. Managers take note.
#9 VWeight02 (Tumbling) — 177,227 points. Tumbling athletes are quietly stacking points. Don’t sleep.
#10 Master Han TV (Taekwondo) — 160,195 points. Fight Sports secures another top-10 spot. The category is deep.
🏅 THE SOLID MID-TABLE
Olympic Sports depth continues to impress. Peter Goldberg (Tumbling, 134,310), Matteo Faure (BMX Racing, 114,044), and Xavier Wright (BMX Racing, 99,761) all delivered respectable scores. BMX Racing alone placed six athletes in the top 35.
Extreme Sports scattered talent throughout. Carla Martin (Freestyle Roller, 102,879) and Termoosaa (MTB, 102,586) round out the six-figure club. Mountain Biking placed seven athletes in the top 50—the most of any single sport.
Adventure makes an appearance with Geoffrey Trailer (Ultra Running, 81,301) breaking into the top 20. Winter Sports’ Tao Kreibich (Skiing, 78,093) reminds us the snow hasn’t melted everywhere.
⚡ GAMEWEEK TALKING POINTS
Mountain Biking Dominance: Seven athletes in the top 50. Two in the top 5. MTB is the most reliable Extreme Sports investment right now. Period.
Karate’s Quiet Surge: Oubaya Said leads, but Dariia Bulay (69,371) and Yuliia Rusu (47,722) also scored. Fight Sports managers should be stacking Karate cards.
The Trampoline Effect: Five Trampoline athletes scored above 20,000 points. Olympic Sports depth is real, but Trampoline is the hidden gem this gameweek.
Motor Sports Volatility: Heinzel’s explosion contrasts sharply with zeros and negatives from other Motor Sports athletes. High risk, high reward—classic Arena economics.
📉 THE RED ZONE
Four athletes posted zeros: dottmarcofilisetti (Motocross), Niko18m (Freestyle BMX), sofa_sher (Freestyle BMX), and julianbijsterbosch (BMX Racing). Painful for any manager running these cards.
Eleven athletes went negative. alifreestylr (Freestyle Football, -253) and owentangavelou (Car racing, -242) hit hardest. Motor Sports’ DarioCabanelas (-231) continues a rough stretch.
Manager Advice: Check competition schedules before locking lineups. Zeros and negatives kill momentum. The Arena is unforgiving—roster accordingly.
