EXECUTIVE DECISION: I screwed up the order for Liv-Ars (listed as Ars-Liv), so tips will not be used! @Wal13Freo @Hcdc93 @Ethan_Meldrum
— FMIChampsLeague (@FMIChamps) December 21, 2014

Yep, I stuffed up, so its best this game was dropped from the list.

17	1	Southampton	v	Everton	3	0	H
	2	Q P R	v	W B A	3	2	H

Interesting notes on the table...
In the last 6 weeks, the same 4 players have been in the bottom 4...
and 9 players have been regular in the top 8 over the same period.
