Away

cstoney20

2–1 · 210 pts

Both of these teams are near the top and only one of them belongs there. Score every side against the whole league each week rather than against the one opponent the schedule handed them, and brendog2814 comes out 25-8 — the second-best team in the competition on merit. cstoney20 comes out 10-23. He has the eleventh-best scoring total of twelve and a winning record, which is a trick you can only pull for so long. His wins have been narrow and his opponents have been obliging; last week he got through by under two points. The unbeaten run meets the charmed one, and the schedule stops doing anyone any favours here.

erozier

1–2 · 246 pts

rmeernst has scored more than half the league and won nothing at all. Against the field each week he is a coin flip; in the table he is level with a team that has genuinely been outplayed every time out. Last week was the unkindest of the three — he had the single best individual return of the round in Tyrick Mitchell and still lost by under two points, with more than enough left on his bench to have covered it twice over. erozier arrives defending a title on one win from three and a record of his own that flatters him. Whoever loses this is properly adrift, and only one of them will be able to blame the fixtures.
