[Purple 77]

SO MANY HUGE GAMES THIS WEEK! 8 of the top 9 play against each other, with each position up for grabs!

Seoul have effectively played 5 elimination finals in a row, and face 1 more in order to make finals: top 4 fancy Mexico City. Amazingly, despite its title of reigning premiers, Seoul have 6 consecutive wins over Mexico City! They clearly have the mental edge, but can they do it one more time and make finals?!

The other side of the equation is Pacific v Beijing. The Islanders must win in order to lock in a top 4 spot, whilst Beijing must win to put finals beyond doubt. If it loses, they'll have to rely on Seoul losing. The Islanders are fresh off a huge score... if they beat them, they'll be worthy finals contenders. There is also plenty of incentive for Pacific to win well, given they are just 0.001% ahead of 4th placed Rio.

PNL have CHARGED home in the last third of the season and now find themselves the 2nd highest scoring team of the comp! They up against a team whom once sat 12-0, looking unbeatable, but now find themselves a sneaky chance to lose the minor premiership! A score of 115 last week is incredibly concerning for the mid-season premiership favourites, and sees them slip to the 4th highest scoring team of the comp. They'll want this win for confidence, and to consolidate its maiden minor premiership.

The other super-clash involves the flying Tigers - coming off 9-1 of its past 10 matches and a fresh claim to 2nd spot on the ladder, against the in-form team of the comp and now far-and-away the highest scoring team of the comp in Rome. Amazingly, they still find themselves 7th on the ladder, but boast the best % in the comp. If Rome win, they'll overtake any losers of 3rd-6th and potentially claim a top 4 spot to launch its maiden premiership offence.

And the last game of finals-relevance is New York v Rio. The Jags are the only top 9 side not playing another top 9 side - and thus have a golden opportunity to post a strong win and consolidate a spot in the top 4 and cap off a wonderful H&A season! Will they stand up to the pressure?

WHAT A ROUND! Every single position in the top 9 is uncertain

And special mention to Cairo v Tokyo... I just have a feeling the Samurai will win this match, and curse Dublin with the 2022 wooden spoon!

A reminder that no restings are permitted this week (i.e. you cannot rest a player for finals or Round 1 next year)

And everyone has 1 or more Flood/Attacks left. You cannot use these in finals, so go nuts!
