The weeks long quarterfinals match-ups are finally over. With that, four teams advance to the semifinals, which are completed as well. The transfer window closes tonight at 10 pm CDT. The FA Cup final is this weekend so that competition is still in play as is the BS Cup. Prepare accordingly.
The semifinals ended up being #2 seeded Real Chapala taking on #10 FMAC and #3 Memfrica facing off against #4 Gemmill. In what turned out to be as dramatic a semifinal as there ever has been, FMAC used a Fernando Torres hat trick to complete a comeback on Chapala and win by one, 28-27. Gemmill won the other semi over Memfrica in convincing fashion 21-4. This sets up the final between Gemmill and FMAC.
This will be Gemmill's first final and first crack at a trophy. Will nerves do them in? Lowest seed FMAC, who limped into the playoffs through the backdoor by losing 5 in a row to end the regular season including an embarrassing defeat by Romo (is there any other kind?), is playing in its 2nd final in three Walt League Premier seasons. FMAC has qualified all three years for at least the semifinals and with the 2011 Coppa di Walt in the trophy room, along with two successful European campaigns, a victory here would leave no doubt as to which is the SuperClub of the world's best fantasy league. Results below.
