Round 12 Recap

Updated Table
Updated Coppa di Walt
Results
Updated Playoff Odds - Biggest Movers: FMAC +9.7, WAGS and Wankers -9.1

Never mess with the Deportivo or you'll get your eye dotted, as the cool kids in hi skewl might say.






A Memfrica victory over the Gemmillians in the Altruria Road Derby coupled with a BIFA loss to champions Frayser sends the Sons of John Denver to the top of the table. The Memfricans haven't been on top since its treble winning year of the inaugural '09-'10 tournament. There might be a bit of a mini-crisis in the BIFA camp, losers of two straight. FMAC takes top score. Frodo scores lowest.

The 2nd leg of the Coppa di Walt quarters sees the BrewMeisters, Fergie and FMAC stretch out leads. Frumunda and BIFA are neck and neck.

In Europe, FMAC picks the right week to break out by defeating Ring a Rang a Roo to move into 2nd place in its Europa League group with just two matchdays remaining. AC Frayser was defeated in the Champions League, is sitting bottom of its group, but still has a chance to qualify for the knockout stages. Chapala lost its Europa League game as well and is in the same situation as Frayser. RC is bottom of the group, but is still mathematically alive for knockout stage qualification.

It should be noted that the Walt League European participants are playing not only with one hand tied behind the back, but both hands. Not only do the other teams play with the goofy super subs option, but most, if not all, are from leagues that are decidedly smaller than the super league that is the Walt League Premier. In fact, two teams in FMAC's group are in 8 team leagues. It sucks, but what are you gonna do?

The transfer window closes Friday night at 10 pm CST. Round 13 starts Saturday morning.
