DIVISION 2 GAMES

Point of Napier is, with 9 points out of 4 matches, chasing LU who are still without loss of points. They are chasing LU with 3 other teams, as FA, EW and DS are also with 9 points. This weeks question in div 1 is: will LU keep the 3 point gap? And who of the 4 chasing teams will make a mistake? Already in the first match, it turns out that PN is that team. Well, when it comes to the result, that as, because Kelly actually didn’t do anything wrong. In her away game against Englehart Storm, she played with the usual strong WP team, so no mistakes there. That ES responded to that with OFF might not have been a surprise, as it gets more and more common to play OFF against WP teams. However, that is not what made the difference in this game. What made a difference was the boost that ES played. That made that ES was better than PN, and that they won the 3 points, which means that ES is (back) in the race for a playoff spot. On the other hand, even without the boost, it would have been close. PN would probably have had the best EMP in that case, but with a NSL 9 GK, you never know if that would have been enough for the victory.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Fanatics United and Defrosted Tunafish were rivals in div 3 last season, when both of them were fighting for the league title. This season, they are both playing on a higher level, in div 2, and much like the fight for the championship, this fight is also very close, but in the end it is DT who win. Although I have to mention that it took a grudge to make the difference. With a NSL 9 GK against a NSL 10 GK, Claudio knew that he had to be quite a bit better in EMP than FU to beat them. And that is exactly what happened, after playing that grudge, so this is a perfect example of a grudge well-spent. Brian won’t like this, but at least he still has that extra grudge left now, so if he would spend it just as wise (maybe in the return) and the result is the same, he will probably forget about this loss. But until then, he will be disappointed that FU is the second team for now, after PN, to fall back in the chase after LU.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Excelsior Warren is the third chasing team we see in action, and finally we see a team that doesn’t make a mistake. Simon probably figured that EW would be stronger than Oaklake City in a home match, and well, he was right. However, I don’t think Simon expected Keith to play a grudge, and in that case, it would have been OC to be the better team. In fact, I think OC would have won this match, by playing the grudge, if it weren’t for the red card for S Pacheco. That cost them 7.60 EMP, and with that, it cost them the match. So, Simon can call himself lucky to get away with it, and win 3 points where both his rivals, PN and FU lose their match. Keith on the other hand is very unlucky once again, and I hope for him that his luck will change soon.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

The fourth and last team of the teams chasing LU is Dead Scientists. Will they be able to keep up with EW, or will they fall back like FU and PN? In their home match against Newton Heath, Tim did not want to take any chances, and played a boost, to secure a win. And the result was……….a victory for DS! Sure, when you look closer, you will see that even without a boost, DS already was better than NH, and that this boost only made that difference bigger: it was 15 here! But on the other hand, you can also see that even with the 15 EMP difference, DS were “only” awarded 3 chances. And from those 3, they only managed to kick in 1. If I were Tim, I would think that that goal was scored out of the extra chance that was created because of the boost, and make the decision to do that an even more brilliant tactical move. Well done Tim! Robert will probably have thought that there are other games, in which it will be easier to win points, than an away game against a top table team. And that is also a smart move, because sometimes it takes even more tactical knowledge to know what games you don’t pick to win.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

Well, after having seen the 4 chasing teams, and knowing that 2 of them lost, and 2 of them won this weeks game, now is the time to wonder what Lisbon United will have done. And well, nothing surprising here: LU won their match and that’s that. In the home game against England U-21, Nuno saw his CM Agackapoulus leave the field with a red card already early in the first half, and that cost him.10.15 EMP. However, in spite of that, LU was much better, and their win was never in danger. With almost 100 NSL on the field once again, LU delivered another solid performance, and made clear that LU is the nr. 1 team to beat this season, if any other team might have any title aspirations. For now, they stay in the lead with a 100% score after 5 matches, knowing that after this round of matches, there are only 2 teams left chasing them, with 3 points less. That must feel good. At least a lot better than it does for Mike, although I think that Mike will not have expected to win this week, and that is no shame.

SAEFL SEASON 12 WEEK 7

After last weeks game, Don managed to just climb to the top half of the table with Adirondak Renegades. This weeks opponent is no one else than Otto’s Deo Volente, the team that looks in trouble already early in the season, as not only are they at the bottom of the table, but they are also still without points. Time to do something about that of course, but will it be this week? Nope, it won’t. Even the boost that was played to generate some extra EMP was not enough against this AR, who prove to have a very strong team: just look at them reaching over 130 EMP! And that without playing a boost or a grudge. Don has a great team here, at least a great first eleven (don’t know exactly if how well his rotation is), and maybe that might be not enough to win him the title (LU is soooo damn strong this season, and they are already 6 points ahead now, so….), AR is definitely one of the main candidates for promotion to div 1 this season. Otto’s main priority this season will be to stay in div 1.
