13. BALLS UP

Nov 23:

Here is the news.
As is befitting this complete cluster-fruit of a weeks' FMICL, there needs to be one thing said right up front this week.
THERE IS NO RESULT in the FMICL Cup this week.

Because I balls-ed  it up again, by picking games all scheduled for NEXT WEEK.

So, I will need to re-pick all games for next week (since there has been a 'show').
Apologies to the 4 players I pestered for tips.


Which makes this week a League week only.

All the games finished like this.

W	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
13	1	Chelsea	v	Norwich	1	0	H
	2	Tottenham	v	West Ham	4	1	H
	3	Burnley	v	Brighton	1	1	D
	4	Ipswich T	v	Wolves	2	2	D
	5	R Madrid	v	Barcelona	0	4	A
	6	Juventus	v	Milan	1	0	H
	7	Columbus	v	New York RB	2	0	H

And your head-to-heads completed as per this.

@NaylorMichael	6	,	@BenCuzzupe	5		@LaurenceRosen	4	,	@TheTipsGuru	4
@SgtButane	3	,	@DemP_9	2		@Sjhross	4	,	@Supermercado99	3

@Harri_Chas_17	4	,	@Hardsy05	3		@MattGoss_	3	,	@ASpeedingCar	4

Harri wins to retain the belt, and strengthen his claim for top. FMI loses to the resurgent Amul, and drifts closer to relegation, with Amul headed out of the same.

MichaelN goes one short of a perfect score, still wins and remains ladder leader.

Ross on top wins again and sends Super back toward the drop zone. A win for Amos helps his fight against falling to Div 3. Laurence not favoured with a draw.

The Guru manages a draw to hold the belt.

@DamienBean5	4	,	@Lucrious	5
@kosifantutti	3	,	@Smithj_43	4
@NickTheStatsGuy	2	,	@CapitalCityCody	6
@RankingSW	3	,	@melatonii	5
@AFLTheory	4	,	@cmrnmnning	5
@rkw82	4	,	@RudiEdsall	3

D3 ladder leader Kosi drops a game (and the belt), as too Rudi in second. Both open the door for Cody to head higher.

Of the three bottom players, only Damo loses, with RKW and Smithy winning.

Totaling up the differences in tips, its a season low of 43. All players have tipped similarly, and there is less uncertainty among you all.
Will have to do better next week.

(Note: its MLS finals series time. This is the first led of the home and away match-ups, and it should be a standard 90mins plus stoppage time game. If it isn't, then for the purposes of FMICL... it is. That will be the scoreline used)

And the head to head games are between these sets of opponents.

(no write-up of match-ups yet... might do them later.)

Nov 10:

Updated by moving Cup rounds forward a week too... next Cup games are Match Week 13 (21 Nov).

The 'Season & Cup' page has also been updated.

Nov 9:

Right.
So I stuffed up the playing calendar for the FMICL league season, by scheduling play for the weekend of 14th Nov. This is an international weekend, so there is no play for the big European leagues.

But there is a bit of fat in the schedule in December, so the whole last 6 weeks of the opening half of the season will move back a week.

Match week 13 moves to weekend of 21st Nov and the last round of the opening half is scheduled for Boxing Day,

The 'Fixture' page has been updated.
