After 18 dramatic Matchweeks and 180 games our Community Watch tournament has reached the business end of the competition, as 10 teams battle it out for one of six precious knockout stage places.
Matchweek 18 Review
Fashanu Zealand reclaimed top spot after an 18 point win over Germane.
Hungary Neville lost to Bolivia Giroud after winning 11 of their last 12 games. They drop to second place,while the win puts Bolivia in a good position to qualify for the knockouts.
Ibeland beat Gaboniadini by 60 points and sit in third, while Afghanistanislas were thrashed by Emre Canada by a 67 point margin. That’s the Canadian’s second big loss in two games as they conspire to make an easy qualification suddenly look difficult.
Grabbangladesh delivered a Gameweek high 411 points to beat Russia, which kept them alive in the race for a knockout spot. The Reussian’s now sit in sixth position with what looks like a must win game coming up.
Belgium and Kenyaya also won their games and keep their qualification hopes alive, with the former beating Messidonia, who now sit tenth on the league table and will need a special performance to make the knockouts.
Early runaway favourites Mozambique have squandered their advantage with six consecutive losses. This time around they lost to Georgia Boyd by a mere two points, with qualification now looking unlikely. The Georgians continue to ride their luck, having won their previous encounter by a solitary point.
Full results can be found here.
Qualification Scenarios
Fashanu Zealand: Already guaranteed a top two league spot. A win would see them stay in first.
Hungary Neville: Through to the knockouts already. The top two spot looks good for them even if they lose as their competitors will need huge wins to bridge the points gap.
Ibeland: A win guarantees qualification. Their decent overall points total might take them through even if they lose.
Bolivia Giroud: Again, a win guarantees qualification. A loss will knock them out as their overall points total is second worst among the top ten.
Afghanistanislas: A win takes them through. A loss and they would need all of Russia, Belgium, Kenyaya and Messidonia to lose in order to qualify.
Reussia: They need a win, and hope that no other team below then bridges the point difference between them.
Grabbangladesh: They need a win and then need a couple of results going their way to ensure qualification.
Balegium: They need a win and hope that one of Bolivia Giroud/Reussia lose.
Kenyaya: They need a big win and hope most of their competitors lose.
Messidonia: They need a big win and hope all of their competitors lose as they have the lowest overall FPL points in the top 10.
Mozampique,Cech Republic and Georgia Boyd have an outside chance of qualification.
Note: All these qualification scenarios have been worked up by a human brain. If something mentioned doesn’t go to plan, apologies.
