DIVISION 3 GAMES

The Falcons are the nr. 4 on the table, and with only 3 points behind the nr. 1, they are still very much in the race for the title, with 4 matches left to play. The first of those 4 matches was this weeks away game against Melchester Rovers. MR is the number last, but that doesn’t mean that you can automatically think this match would be easy. MR played their WP and put a boost on top of that. But FA indeed did not underestimate MR, and played an even stronger WP. That made that FA turned out to be stronger than MR in the end, and won this match. The fact that the victory turned out so big, was because of the fact that MR put a field player in the goal, and this particular Mr. Josemi did not have what it takes to be a good GK. I hope he will pursue his career on another position.

Aros VSK and Englehart Storm are the numbers 6 (AV) and 7 (ES) on the table, and that means that in fact they are each others biggest rivals when it comes to a playoff spot. 5 points separate them, and with 3 matches left to play after this one, a victory for AV would mean that they cannot be caught by ES anymore (well, only in theory maybe). In spite of that knowledge, AV didn’t even play a boost or grudge, but trusted that a strong, 99 NSL LongBall plus the home advantage would do the trick. And they were right: it did! ES also played a nice 93+ NSL ONE team, but it simply was not enough to beat the strong AV side. The 14-9 victory in the end was a fair result, and that means that we can almost certainly expect to see AV in the playoffs.

SAEFL Season 13 WEEK 23

Both Dead Scientists and England U-21 are top half teams. EU is the nr. 2 and DS the nr. 5.But where EU is still in the race for the title, DS can forget about that and has to focus on the playoffs. It is probably because of that, that DS expected a strong EU, fighting for the title, and decided to rest some players, and save the best team for the other matches, in order to secure that (last) playoff spot. That plus the red card for FB Neill (which cost them 3.72 EMP). Without the red card, the difference would have been no more than 1 EMP between those teams, and that means that if DS would have gone all the way this week, they might have beaten EU. But they didn’t, and under this weeks circumstances, the 7-4 victory for EU was only fair. EU still in the race for the title (in fact, if TS lose this week, they will take the lead!), where DS lose important points in their playoff race, and will be happy that AV beat ES.

SAEFL Season 13 WEEK 23

African Selection (8th) and Blue Storm (10th) are 2 bottom half teams. AS still have a chance on reaching the playoffs –now both ES and DS lost their match), but in order to keep that chance alive, they need to beat BS this week. For BS, the playoffs are out of reach, and that means that they can start focusing on next season, but that doesn’t mean that they start giving away matches of course. AS cleverly anticipated on that, and played a grudge, to make sure that they won this home match. That was a good thought from Colin, but of course he could not foresee that he would be so unlucky to see no less than 2 players get a red card, and with that have that grudge card spoilt. Both Cantro and Victor could not keep their nerves under control, and after 90 minutes, if was BS who in fact had more EMP (with 2 players more). However, even that was not enough to beat AS, so the match ended as it started: 0-0. In spite of the 1 point, I guess that AS’s race for the playoffs is over. Of course, in theory they can still overcome the 6 point gap with DS in 3 matches, but I think that chance is really, really small.

SAEFL Season 13 WEEK 23

Speedsters are the nr. 3 on the table, and are one of the 4 teams that are still in the race for the title. After we have just seen FA and EU win their match, it turns out that SS could not live up to those expectations. AK played a grudge in their home game, and with that they turned out to be much, much stronger than SS. The 6-0 victory in the end was actually a logical result. You would not think it was the nr. 9 beating the nr. 3, as in my opinion, even without the grudge, AK would have beaten SS anyway. For AK, the 3 points are welcome of course, and it means that they are 5 points behind DS (the number 6), for that last playoff spot. With only 3 matches left, did their final sprint come in time? For SS, this is very bad news, as I don’t think they can win the title now, not now they need to catch no less than 3 teams in 3 matches. That is just too much.

SAEFL Season 13 WEEK 23

And here we see what the leader of the table did: Trav Spoodle made no mistake against Vitesse Arnhem (the nr. 11 on the table), and won their match as expected: 1-5. Even in spite of the boost that VA played, TS’s 90+ WingPlay was simply too good for VA. The 122.59 EMP in the end is quite impressive, given the fact that we’re talking div 3 away game here. That almost makes this weeks match a TS statement, telling that they are still the nr. 1 candidate for the title. And after this weeks ‘elimination’ of SS, we still have 3 teams in the race for the title: TS, EU and FA. Will be continued next week…………
