@BenCuzzupe

Long time ladder leader the Sarge secures the first finals berth with a 4-3 win, and it's really all down to Lazio winning away in Genoa.

The challenge from 7th placed Ben runs aground early.

@Ethan_Meldrum

FMI scores a big 4, but Ethan does what he has only done three times before in 40 weeks and scores a big 5 to snag the win.

So next week its all about

@Ethan_Meldrum

for the inaugural FMI Champions League title.

Can the season long top performer complete the season and collect the trophy that has so long has his name post-it noted on it?

Will the fairytale of winning the title from 8th, and recovering from as low as 19th (after week 7) come true for Ethan?

(PS... For those wondering... the nominated colours by the players are for Plymouth Argyle and Accrington Stanley... who said football was only about the big teams.)

@BenCuzzupe

Sarge [regular season]: 21 wins, 8 draws, 10 losses and scoring 120 correct tips.

Ben [regular season]: 15 wins, 11 draws, 13 losses and scoring 110 correct tips.

@Ethan_Meldrum

FMI [regular season]: 17 wins, 12 draws, 10 losses and scoring 120 correct tips.

Ethan [regular season]: 14 wins, 13 draws, 12 losses and scoring 104 correct tips.

These are your games to tip:

R	M	HOME		AWAY
41	1	West Ham	v	Everton
	2	Man Utd	v	Arsenal
	3	Sunderland	v	Leicester
	4	Melb Victory	v	Sydney FC
	A	B Leverkusen	v	Hoffenheim
	B	Sampdoria	v	Lazio
	C	Villareal	v	Malaga

Firstly, as before the winner will be the higher total aggregate score over the seven games.
But in the event of a tie, then its the higher score from games 1 to 4. If tied in those four, then it's first to score in the games A to C.

Secondly, yes the Melbourne - Sydney game result will be counted at the end of regular play (90min + stoppage time). No extra time or penalties are counted.

Finally, Please (!!!) don't leave it to the last minute to tip. If all four players tip very similar outcomes I have a selection of other games to add into the mix, and you must be prepared for that, and a little help in tipping earlier is appreciated. DM traffic on a Thursday night could be the go.


The link is here as usual. Tip away and good luck.
