In my time of administrating the Happy League I can never remember a 6 game week producing all home wins before. Well it happened this week, and in the unpredictable FA Cup as well. But with a total of 24 goals, those high scoring games made 3 pointers hard to come by, and there were only 8 overall. The Premier getting a rare victory, by coming out on top 6-2, in that contest. Those spot-ons were shared out with eight members getting one each, with the best of those coming from mfb_cufc, who got a full house, that included having that Wednesday 2-1 spot-on, to make him the weeks top scorer with a useful 8 points. Other performances of merit came from ghughes11 and Sector4, who both had the Walsall 2-1 spot-on, and four outcomes, to give them a decent 7 points each.
Midweek League Cup Just a reminder. The penultimate round of games before the knockout stage qualification, with 10 more fixtures from the World Cup, has a deadline of Tuesday 29th November 19.00.
In the Premier The top scoring performance from mfb_cufc has extended his lead to a healthy 7 points. After having the Walsall 2-1 spot-on, RSCOSWORTH moves up a place to second, but only on the most 3 pointer rule from noah4x4, who had an impressive five outcomes. The decent week for ghughes11 keeps him in the final Super Cup spot. Another to benefit from getting the Walsall 2-1 spot-on was blueeagle, and he moves up a place to fifth. After being bottom since Week 3, the decent week for Sector4 has finally moved him up a couple of places, and he is now only in the relegation zone on the most 3 pointer rule. An unfortunate no show from TheFatGooner drops him to the bottom.
In Division One With the top four all getting three outcomes, there is no change to those positions for the fourth week running. That means GOSBTS and Pinault_Noir take their run in the automatic places to five weeks, with MrHappy taking his run in the top 6 to seven weeks, and oxfcolu on a goood run of twelve weeks in the top 6. Having the Walsall 2-1 spot-on helped to move burnsieespana up three places, and back into the play-off places, after eight weeks away. Remaining in the final play-off spot is Lewis_1, thanks to his good Shrewsbury 3-1 prediction. After being in the top 6 for the last twelve weeks, bwildered has to settle for seventh, but only a point away. With everybody else scoring either 3 or 4 points, there is little change in the rest of the league.
