Day one fleet shard? Honestly, who cares when it comes to number of wins? Fleets released in November 22, 2016. I started in Jan 2017 and it takes three weeks to get to level 60 to unlock fleet (with three refreshes per day). That's about a 60 day difference in fleet duration between a "launch" shard and mine, or 300-ish victories at the 5 victory per day clip those top 50 fleets are running at.
For comparison, it's a far cry from the guy sitting at 411 victories in 40th place on my shard.
OP, I hear you. You are at a profound disadvantage with respect to zeta and crystal income for the effort you have to put in compared to the many of us.
I took about two months off in three different fleet shards, didn't drop out of the top 50 in any of them, and I think the only reason I dropped out of the top 20 was because I did it when Negotiator came around.
Edit: updated level and timeline for fleet unlock.
