No runaway leader in any division so everything to play for really. As usual it Div 3 with the toughest competition, the plus statistics back that up -

Strongest leagues this season

32.7 Premier Division
26.9 First Division.03
24.4 First Division.04
24.4 First Division.02
22.6 Second Division.04
22.1 Second Division.03
21.7 First Division.01

Super Athletico look to have the most quality of the promotion hopefuls so they should be able to manage a long overdue promotion this year. The six pointers between the top three here could change everything though.

I think suspensions and injuries will make it impossible for Evilbunny against Athletico next week. I think i'll struggle against them unless they pick up some injuries or suspensions, but with 4 tough games in a row, it's entirely possible they can drop points.
What do the team stats say? I'm interested in how they look when you discount goalkeepers.

Whole team
The Miracles 32.0
Athletico 35.8

Without keepers
The Miracles 32.9
Athletico 32.8

Its wide open - Ive got 4 tough games where i could drop points. Should be fun anyway

Btw I'm trying to pick up an Irish Under 21 defender if anyone has anything of interest. Have plenty of cash saved up and want to use it to buy quality Irish

I the interest of not being beaten badly, I'm gonna say no :p

The wonders of plus...

Looks like a serious test to stop Athletico.
Either my team isn't very good or they're overperforming according to those player stats.
Those assists look a little off though, considering Treanor has 3 and my other guy on there has 1. That leaves 7 goals unaccounted for.

A lot of goals come from a bounce off a defender to a striker and things like that. If its a proper assist you see a little star next to the player after the goal and on the match report.

Lies, damned lies and statistics! Honestly forget about me, i'm no threat. Battle it out with the others! :)

Yeah i'll dismiss you if you lose on Sunday. ;)

Table is updated. I forgot about it this week.
