Damn straight, most even year since 2012, if not THE most?

Seoul would be horribly unlucky to miss, if they lose they would need 3 of New York, Christchurch, Buenos Aires and Pacifuc winning

We should finish 5th or 6th, which considering how things looked earlier is pretty crap - blew a great chance finish top 4 with erratic inconsistency

Beijing vs NDT will be a cracker as the loser likely falls out of the 8!

If we lose to Tokyo I'm flowering done!

Beijing to beat NDT and Cape Town to beat Seoul gets us into 5th

Reserves ladder has issues Purps:

Copacabana, La Plata, Yuzawa and Port Morseby have only played 15 matches, not 16.

Given how close the reserves ladder is, that could be crucial?

These pesky god damn ties mucking up my ladder...

From the round just gone by, Copacabana get an extra point (157*), as they just outscored La Plata (156), damn what a game!

And Yuzawa get an extra point (118*) as they just outscored Port Morseby (117)

Should get PSD and Rookie draft picks order from the reserves ladder. Shows the teams struggling for depth.

do they?

well i guess they would but that didn't motivate me at all :P

actually do struggle for depth never having a pick in the first 16 picks of every single draft.

So the reserves are heating up also...

Copacabana has the minor reserves premiership, but they play Imperial this week who need a win to guarantee the finals.

Top 4 spots are still on the line, but Mumbai should beat Shanghai to guarantee a top 3 spot, but with La Plata playing Alexandria it could come down between percentage for 2nd or 3rd spot (doesn't matter as no home ground advantage in reserves).

Wellington still a chance of top 2, but would need to rely on upsets, and would be favourites against Marseille. A loss could see them as low as 6th though, so a win would give them a double chance.

Rhineland should have no problem defeating Siberia to put pressure on the top 4, but need to pray for an upset. They can go as low as 6th.

Washington's top 4 chances rely a lot on results going its way, but its opponent - Yuzawa - will be far more desperate for a win. A loss could see them fall out of the 8 if Pyongyang beat Durban, or if Durban smash Pyongyang. Of course percentage could be an issue with Imperial and Yuzawa neck and neck.

Although 9th v 10th, Pyonyang are a far greater chance of making the finals being a game ahead of Durban.

Port Morseby need to hope Durban beat Pyongyang - but not by too much - and they thrash Windsor (which shouldn't be an issue as they've struggled to score) to hope they catch up to someone on percentage. Unlikely.

Shanghai won't defend its title, can only get up to 14th at best.

Windsor wins the spoon.

So you should benefit because you don't draft enough depth?

Nice try :P

what do you mean not draft enough depth?

im 17 or later in every draft. I do alright for picking depth actually given how late i draft. Bottom teams have loads of depth as they get soo many early picks and have lots of players playing.

i get ok players by doing loads and loads of research.

54. Dublin - Ben Crocker
63. Dublin - Samuel Collins
74. Dublin - Jack Silvagni
56. Dublin - Oscar McDonald
72. Dublin - Dougal Howard

I do get pretty annoyed when bottom teams waste high draft picks on spuds though.

Looking at Seoul's record is a little crazy... Against other teams in EurAsia they have a 2-6 record (and likely wooden spoon barring some last round thrashings), while against other teams (which include Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, New York, etc) they are at an amazing 8-0. I find that a bit interesting

PNL is pretty much opposite 7-1 against EurAsian teams, while 3-5 against AAP Alliance teams.

No wonder the last spot in the top 4 is between PNL and Seoul

ossie85

New York are also strange.. 2-6 against the AAP Alliance teams (having lost to both Toronto and Cairo), while 7-1 against EurAsian teams
