New Delhi are coming off a rare win! And they run into Mexico City as its reward....

Tokyo look to upset Dublin, who were very impressive last week in a loss, while Dublin have #1 spot in its eyes.

Cairo would go in as favourites against PNL, but they will be nervous. It is 4th v 6th after all!

Seoul and Beijing has an interesting vibe to it.... the winner will be 2-2, which would be better than expectations.

The Warriors host New York, with the Revolution surprisingly finding themselves at 2-1. Wellington aren't too far away from a win, and this could be one of its better chances.

I don't think Pacific have much a chance against Buenos Aires... though the Armadillos were far from impressive last week and only won on home advantage.

Cape Town are 1-2, and the 2012 runners-up are on the precipice. While an injury ravaged Berlin need to win to get back in the 8. My match of the round.

The winless London host Moscow at home. Moscow look decently placed, while London are in wooden spoon calculations....

The winless Wolves face off against the 1-2 Pumas.... A loss to either here would be disastrous.

Think for me this week it's just going to be a case of picking who has been selected for their sides rather than actually deciding between players. Last week I have 21 players take the field, but of that lot Smith and Adams have picked up 1 week suspensions and Masten is injured, which takes me down to 18. Then Ben Jacobs as a late replacement may get dropped back to the VFL with Ziebell back in the side and surely White will get dropped because he is useless! That leaves me with possibly just 16 players to choose from this week! :o

Welcome to our world Badge :P

Our forward line was a shambles this week but hopefully Caddy & Mayes can get back in form to complement the form of skipper Ollie Wines (who has taken over beautifully from Krooz) averaging 116, and the in-form defender of the comp Cale Hooker who is currently averaging 104. Keep it up boys!

dont think many would have picked the pumas to be struggling with depth issues.

Dublin is having problems of its own. Walters and Dixon now out from my forward line and with Rance maybee out again im down to 16 starter quality players. have 4-5 in the reserves but really dont want to play them.

Gee this really is a good week to play Berlin.

No Fyfe, Crouch or Steven for them.

If we can't win this one then I think our Top 4 hopes are definitely shot and our finals hopes will be hanging by a thread.

[Nige]

All these teams struggling is making for a quality lel.

Steven MIGHT come back this week, but most likely in VFL

Yes. Will be an interesting match, hopefully my inconsistent depth players all decide to play well this week  :P
