Bolivia Giroud faced Messidonia in the third vs sixth place  game.

The final score was 447 – 405. Bolivia will now face FNZ in the semis.

Semifinals preview
FNZ vs Bolivia Giroud
Afghanistanislas vs Hungary Neville
League leaders FNZ play Bolivia Giroud in the first semifinal. These two teams met previously back in Matcheweek 7, with FNZ beating Bolivia by 84 points. Bolivia Giroud go into this tie on the back of five consecutive wins though, and are expected to put up a much bigger challenge for the league leaders.
Two of FFS community’s big guns, Doosra and Jarvish will lead their respective teams as both look to earn a final berth.
Elsewhere, Afghanistanislas take on Hungary Neville in the second semifinal. These two teams played each other back in Matchweek 11, with Hungary Neville edging that encounter by 10 points. Hungary Neville go into this game on the back of consecutive losses, while the Afghans have two wins in two. The Hungarians will still start as slight favourites, as they have absolutely dominated the tournament after their initial bad run. A mouthwatering encounter indeed.
Both these semi-finals take place in Gameweek 29. The deadline for submitting your line-up and captain is 3rd March FPL deadline time.
