New York Revolution v Buenos Aires Armadillos Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, USA
Paris Nice Lyon Reindeers v Wellington Warriors State de France

Tokyo Samurai v Moscow Spetsnaz National Olympic Stadium, Tokyo
Beijing Thunder v Berlin Brewers Beijing Olympic Park
Cairo Sands v London Royals Borg El Arab Stadium, Alexandria, Egypt
New Delhi Tigers v Seoul Magpies Tata Stadium, New Delhi
Highlights:
Cape Town v Pacific
The Cobras basically can't make the top 4 barring a percentage miracle, and definately can't miss the 8, but a win against Pacific will guarantee them a home final - a match they should win! But they should have won against Beijing also! The Islanders are still in danger of the wooden spoon - but unless Wellington upset PNL, they should have enough percentage to avoid it.
Mexico City v Sao Paulo
I'll admit it - I scheduled this match last hoping it would be the decider for the minor premiership. But Mexico City had other ideas! The Suns are in an interesting quandry, defeat the Pumas this week, and they are every chance of having to play them again in the first week of the finals! Lose, and they'll probably play Moscow. The Pumas won't want to play the Suns in the first week, so they'll be going all out also. A win might not be enough to secure a home qualifying final! With Buenos Aires only marginally behind on percentage.
New York v Buenos Aires
New York are still a mathematical chance of making the finals - but need Berlin, London and Dublin to all lose and they need to make up a bucket load of percentage. It ain't gonna happen, but they can finish the year with a positive ledger (9-8) which is a massive improvement for the team that came 2nd last in 2012. Buenos Aires have assembled a best 15 and again look very threatening, they will need to thrash New York to make sure they get enough percentage to pass Sao Paulo if the Pumas win - and a loss could see them drop to fourth and head to Mexico City in week 1.
PNL v Wellington
Realistically, a win can only save Wellington from the spoon. But surely PNL's luck won't be that bad?
Dublin v Toronto
If Dublin win, and Berlin and London win, Toronto will miss the finals in all likelihood! Incredible for a team that was pushing top 4 not long ago. I still think they'll make the finals though. While Dublin has been in stunning form, the highest scoring team in 3 of the last 4 weeks, they need Berlin and London to lose for them to make the finals. Unfortunate, as they looked to shake the finals up!
Tokyo v Moscow
Finally some joy for Tokyo and some pain for Buenos Aires.... The Samurai had one of the upsets of the year scoring a mammoth 158, and will be looking to do the same against Moscow. But Moscow have also hit form again! A loss for Moscow could see them drop out of the four, a win could theoritcally see them finish 2nd!
Beijing v Berlin
Where the hell did that come from? A massive score of 147 - having previously not cracked 130 this season - just about guaranteed the Thunder will avoid the spoon (which looked a certainty not long ago). Berlin will be nervous - a win, and they will make the finals (barring a percentage miracle from London), lose and they could be out (well, unless London and Dublin lose).
Cairo v London
Cairo could make the top 4 if Moscow is upset by Tokyo, and will probably host elimination final anyway if they lose (unless a percentage miracle from Toronto). The likelihood is they will finish 5th or 6th. London need to win, and they need to win well, and hope Berlin have a shocker against Beijing. London's destiny is not in its own hand.
New Delhi v Seoul
The consequences of this game will be massively inconsequential.
Mexico City Suns:
Def: B.Goddard (VC), C.Enright, J.Adcock, B.Lake.
Mids: S.Sidebottom, B.Ebert, L.Hodge, B.Vince.
Rucks: I.Maric.
Frwds: J.Bartel (C), N.Riewoldt, J.Lewis, D.Merrett.
Bench: A.Sandilands, S.Thompson.
Emg: M.Baguley, M.Blicavs, D.Addison.
We need Hurn back but doubt it's going to happen :/
Waite, Goodes and Lecras still miss while Riewoldt under a huge cloud.
NRoo could potentially have season ending surgery, very concerning stuff.
Ins: Bartel, Crameri. Out: Addison, Merrett.

You would still need one of the other teams to lose though to get in to the 8.

Tough though, with Toronto's lowest score this year 125 and your highest score this year 166. Both are recent though

But Moscow have also hit form again and potentially have star midfielder Jobe Watson returning.
I wish we had Watson :P maybe you meant star backman Jack Hombsch?

If I was the pumas' head coach, I'd want to play against the Suns in the first week. It means the only other time we'll have to run into the Suns is in the grand final. I'd prefer face the Suns when there's a double chance than in an elimination setup.
What a let down the Suns vs Pumas match has turned out to be. Only 4 points separate the teams in relation to points scored for the season, yet Mexico City have only suffered 1 loss whereas Sao Paulo have suffered 4 :(

We have scored very consistently all year, although I bet you have as well. Haha.
I think you will win this week.
I'm actually cheering for Dublin, they could really cause a ruckus in the finals if they can make it! Saying that, I'm out of the running for finals so I don't mind that :P.

Speaking of consistency I went through every teams scores for the year and worked out the standard deviations to see which team has been the most consistent, and the result may surprise a few! :o
Below is a list of all the teams, sorted from most consistent to least consistent...
| | Team | High | Low | Std Dev |
| 1. | Warriors | 119 | 101 | 6.19 |
| 2. | Cobras | 153 | 125 | 7.06 |
| 3. | Wolves | 157 | 125 | 9.09 |
| 4. | Spetsnaz | 162 | 124 | 10.10 |
| 5. | Suns | 171 | 132 | 10.24 |
| 6. | Samurai | 158 | 117 | 10.46 |
| 7. | Royals | 153 | 119 | 10.57 |
| 8. | Sands | 159 | 116 | 11.08 |
| 9. | Islanders | 138 | 98 | 11.48 |
| 10. | Pumas | 173 | 131 | 11.65 |
| 11. | Magpies | 145 | 110 | 12.38 |
| 12. | Reindeers | 152 | 109 | 12.55 |
| 13. | Brewers | 154 | 110 | 12.63 |
| 14. | Destroyers | 166 | 121 | 13.58 |
| 15. | Revolution | 166 | 115 | 13.81 |
| 16. | Thunder | 147 | 98 | 14.56 |
| 17. | Tigers | 133 | 81 | 14.72 |
| 18. | Armadillos | 187 | 112 | 19.29 |
Warriors the most consistent team in the competition!! Although hasn't helped them much as they are consistently scoring low scores! Armadillos probably haven't surprised anyone by being the most inconsistent, a high score of 187, but a low of 112 (a gap of 75) really is crazy!
Haha love the Tigers sitting at 17th there. Some weeks we're down... Other weeks we're less down :P
At least if we crash in a heap, provided nothing crazy happens we can say we scored the highest ever score this season.
Quote6. Samurai High: 158
FMWXVs. They would score their highest score against us of 158 when we scored 152 lol.
No Masten and now no Sloane means the Pumas have no chance against the Suns! :(
Always knew the Wolves were pretty consistent! Have dropped off last few weeks though with the injury list building.
I love those consistency stats
Yeah great work CF :), very interesting stats!
Well, I had a feeling I was the most inconsistent team last year, so will take 13th as an improvement ;)

I think we can safely say Hurn won't come back this year, Lecca is only 50:50 imo. Our season is over, I just don't see us risking it.

Having three melbourne defenders is a constant concern :/
Having 5 of them in the team is the killer. But hey, they play the giants I guess. Surely all of them won't go terribly?
Dirty day at selection yet again for the Wolves, Greenwood seemed the obvious Swallow replacement for both North and Toronto, but apparently not. Grima out with a surprise back injury, Edwards and Nicholson still on emergency lists, McGrath and Hickey dropped, Jolly and Young still out and obviously the loss of Swallow. Injuries really building up at the wrong time of the year, had a relatively clean sheet for most of the year but finals look a tough ask now and will be relying on key players to return to have any chance in any finals I do play.

Ball has been a bit too frustrating recently with injuries, so Shiel gets a call up back into the squad. Wingard gets the Captaincy this game as he hopes to show he can do well under the pressure. Grant has proven he could be a sleeper to watch out for next season in the forward line!

Masten and Sloane out are massive hits to the team. Midfield depth certainly being tested this week! Yet even though that is the case, last years rising star still can't make the side...
I'd play Wallis over Hill, but that's just me.
Yeah there are a couple of decisions I still need to make tomorrow. One being whether or not to play Devon Smith since he plays Melbourne and has the occasional massive game. The other whether to play Hill or not. He is so up and down, his last 7 games have been 101, 60, 50, 111, 61, 124, doesn't seem to have a middle ground. Also not playing at Subi may hinder him. But then Wallis' 96 last week was his top score of the season and his previous 4 games all under 70. If I was to drop Hill it would most likely be for Devon rather than Wallis at this point...
Drop Ablett and play Smith and Wallis?

Oh, I must have totally missed Devon's name haha. Don't know how that happened. Play Dev, probably the best in the risk vs reward scenario vs the Dees.

Will update this as real scores replace average scores....
I'm still undecided if I'd be happier for us to miraculously finish 4th or stay 5th. :-X
4th means you only need to win 3 games to win the grand final, 5th means you need to win 4 games. I know which one I would prefer ;)
You'd have to want to finish 4th...
Lose 1st week as 4th - You get a home final vs. a 5th-8th side in week 2, (if you won) prelim final @ home
Finish 5th - win 1st week, get an away game vs. a 1-4 team, lose eliminated
So the odds are you'd finish 5th and win or finish 4th and lose 1st week
The differences are:
Finish 4th = home final against crappier side in 2nd finals week
Finish 5th = away against a better side in 2nd finals week
Why would you want to finish 5th?
Go HT!! 8)
Idek tbh haha. :P
At half time the Dillos are on track to be: 520/4 at the conclusion of tonight's game.
520/4 + Dane Swan 150*2 this week... Dillos are back. Hopefully our 4 players continue, could end up being 350/4 but you never know. I'd like to dream. Need a big win in case Pumas win anyway.

Wells! 4 goals and 98 SC points at 3QT.
It's about time you got a good score :D

Wish I could say the same about Lindsay, 43 at 3QT.
Should have gone with my gut and named Dickson instead.
Duncan had a MASSIVE 3rd quarter, but hasn't been sighted much at all in the final :(
Dropping Lindsay Thomas next week.
Leigh Adams 110 pre-scaling :D
Having 4 effective disposals in about 12 seconds early in that last term really helped :3

Think I got lucky trading him to you, was something like:
Trent West and Pick 58
for
Picks 13 and 25
If it weren't for the rise of Simpson and Blicavs, I'd still say that's an alright trade
:o don't know what Boomz was thinking there
I don't care about having Tuck's sub 30 halved, CALLAN WARD ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY EIGHT! (scaling might put him up a bit too). Not trading you now :3

Yeah there are a couple of decisions I still need to make tomorrow. One being whether or not to play Devon Smith since he plays Melbourne and has the occasional massive game. The other whether to play Hill or not. He is so up and down, his last 7 games have been 101, 60, 50, 111, 61, 124, doesn't seem to have a middle ground. Also not playing at Subi may hinder him. But then Wallis' 96 last week was his top score of the season and his previous 4 games all under 70. If I was to drop Hill it would most likely be for Devon rather than Wallis at this point...
Oh, I must have totally missed Devon's name haha. Don't know how that happened. Play Dev, probably the best in the risk vs reward scenario vs the Dees.
Should have played Devon... :(
My ruckman was subbed and played OOP yet only scored 10 less than West :P
Very happy with Dusty 109 and Treloar 98, really happy with Wardy's 158.

6 players in play tonight, with only Pendles (C) and Ryder to play tomorrow.
Bit of a mixed bag in the quarter time scores, McLean killing it, 2 in the 20s, 3 between 10-20.
If I could get 550-650 from these 6 I'd be stoked.
flower. Everything was looking so good
Carrotz was on track for 95 after QT.
Barlow 108 and Scotland 100...
Now Carrazzo injured and subbed. There goes our chance of having a MONSTER score. Hopefully it doesn't hurt us next week. Hopefully we still have 15 next week.

Robbo! Finally does something. Keep it up now.
McLean a 7 point quarter, how'd I know he'd struggle to ton after being on 42 at qtr time....Zorko and Johnson flowering lift! Very poor
Maguire and Jones I'd take an 80 from both of you.
Redden on fire for Holz
Fyfe 138 pre-scaling :D
Walters robbed and only gets 73 for FOUR GOALS.

Not bad once you factor in we had to suffer a Carrazzo injury. Man, imagine what could have been with a Carrazzo 81 or so. We'd be on 1,150/10 with 4.5 players to come, one of which captain Swan...
Oh well, we'll probably still get a big score anyway. 160+ I reckon, provided Swan fires up tomorrow.

Disgusting performance so far this week. Only 1 player out of 10 has scored 100 or more, and Ablett only just managed to do that himself. Looks like I'm playing the Suns two weeks in a row. No point even flying back to Sao Paulo for the week, might as well jus stay and train in Mexico...

Really really disappointing week from Toronto, with only 1 ton so far in Pedo. McLean 42 at quarter time and finishes on 77 is appalling, but to be expected from him. Shaw looks like he's done a shoulder, and was having an ordinary day anyway. Please come back Grima!
Robbo I'd take a 90 from him but 65 at half time would have liked him to ton up. Seriously getting sick of your shower Zorko, after chasing you so hard over summer. Hopefully it's just second year Blues and he'll bounce back to his old self next year, but for now I'd drop you if I had people to drop you for ::) Once Jolly comes back we may reconsider your spot in the team Dayne
Interesting how this game is deciding whether I get a home final, away final or drop out of the 8 completely. Credit to you Oss to have the middle rung of this competition so close this late in the year!
Home final would be great, but unlikely from here. Finishing 7th would also be better than 8th as Cairo are in rampaging form.
vs Holz it comes down to:
Pendles (x2), Ryder
vs
Boak, Gray, Hurley, 80, HGA (currently 38 from Hill)
Robbie, remember that time when you used to play for me? Yeah, well do what you did then and score shower/go down with yet another injury.... ::)
Need Pendles to get somewhere in the vicinity of 150...and then it's still game on.

Crameri was in the worst in the twos, it will be difficult for him to crack in on the back of a performance like that.
Can't help but laugh, when Toronto and Dublin are having an epic match for a spot in the eight, yet I am going atrociously (on track for 127) and may finish above both of them :P
Seriously though, like CF said, this better be the last week of my atrocious form... will get a second straight score in the 1200s :-\
Hardly an epic (points scoring wise) match :P
Epic as in close hopefully!

That's not bad at all. A few meh performances. Luke Breust's 53 is our HGA, but we have London beat. With Eski, Dougie, Mummy and Beamer as skipper. Hopefully we can get about 400-500 points. I'm really more worried about our World Cup match at the moment.

44 point 3rd quarter from Daniel Cross.
3rd Quarter really is the quarter of the Dillo this week. 60 odd 3rd quarter for Dalziell yesterday, 44 point 3rd for Cross today.
We'd be on track for something HUGE if not for a carrotz injury :(
Just realised, we have (as of right now) three of the top six backmen in the competition :O :D
Heater first, BobBob fifth and Dixon sixth. Then you have to go a long way to find our next best :P
My man Griff on fire at 3/4 time on 103, Bob 74 is solid.
And THOMAS IS SUB! Sack Bucks for tanking, he's their best player!
Looks like Little Libba wants to be the Revs captain in 2014. This is a new kind of high for him.. ;)

Man our only player to score under 102 was an injury! Imagine if we didn't have the Carrotz injury! We could be absolutely flying. Though Kornes has started slowly in his game.
He still complains lol
More getting excited than complaining. A sorta "what if" excitement scenario. We could be on track to beat our own record WXVs score with a Carrotz 90 (which he was on track for)
But we'll be happy :) especially if we make it into 2nd.
This round is painful though. We have 17 playing and injuries to Carrotz and P. Stewart = we might be flowered for finals.

This is literally what you do week in week out. You just reinforced our point.
Now THAT is factual information.

This round is painful though. We have 17 playing and injuries to Carrotz and P. Stewart = we might be flowered for finals.
This demonstrates the ""Expressing of dissatisfaction or annoyance about a state of affairs or an event" despite a great round for you.
You say I complain in that post but the accusation of complains was before I made that post.
There's also no complaining in there.
An injury = body pain resulting from something on field
This round is painful because we have had 2 injuries.
2 injuries = 2 lots of pain = painful. Not complaining. Factual statements.

Man our only player to score under 102 was an injury! Imagine if we didn't have the Carrotz injury! We could be absolutely flying.

If we agree that you didn't complain, will you stop complaining that we said you complained? :P

Incorrect. My post was after that second of yours ;)
Regardless of what is factual statements and what is not, can you please stop complaining about these factual statements?

I use a calculator to double my captain's score every week when I update our scores. :-[
Pre Scaling
Pendles 110, Ryder 77 has me losing by about 70 odd, doubt I'll get scaled up that much :P Really needed a massive one from Pendles. Ah well, hopefully other results go my way!

I think you will find there is a thing called the Continental Cup. Check the Week 1 Finals thread.

Still have to get past Toronto reserves! (I'll be changing the name at the end of the season)
Bad game from Toronto, only 2 tons and both small ones as well. Lucky to scrape into the 8 I guess!
Would have much preferred the win though to finish in 6th. Ah well, bring on Cairo!

We all know what happened last time we met. ;)
Bit of a bummer to end the season as we did, but a few positive signs for us there towards the Ed of the season. Being on trading and drafting!!

While the Pumas finish the year losing 4 of there last 6 :/
Hmm I don't like that fact at all :(
Don't know what has happened either, because apart from Sloane and Masten missing this round I have basically been full strength the whole time. Well Waters missing, but that's it. Everyone just seems to be completely out of form at the wrong end of the season :(
163 is very encouraging. Captain Swan's 108 was nowhere near the best on our team.
163 with an injured 24 from a player is very encouraging. If we have 15 players next week we can defeat anyone. Once you factor in we're going to have HGA two weeks running... WATCH OUT.

I really hope I get to beat down on you again. ;)
Hopefully you lose this week Maca and we smash you in the prelim. Suns not even in the Granny would be nice.
Provided we win week 1 of finals.

And PNL won :D. Daz said put Wingard as Captain and boy did that pay off! Certainly had some guys underperforming but came away with a win :).

In hindsight that would've been beneficial but I've got too much integrity for that ;) That, and I legit thought we'd lose with a full strength line-up.
We deserve a prioirty pick. Our list is arguably worse than some of those below us :(
Seoul should be embarrassed though, they lost to a side containing Dawson :P
Thanks Ele :)
