Apologies for lateness once more, been to the zoo today and was waiting longer than expected for the bus back. Anyway, the final scores were able to go into the opening post earlier than expected, and then the table was recalculated soon after that. The reason we could get a definitive update even sooner is that my innocent selection of Udinese-Roma as our Sunday Italian fixture ended up being abandoned when Evan N'Dicka collapsed and had to be stretchered off while unconscious. 

Picks would still have been valid had the game been completed this week, but Roma are busy in Europe still. Besides that, both sides are probably mentally shaken from seeing a colleague suddenly keel over so you can hardly begrudge them some distance from the incident. Presumably the remaining 20 minutes will be concluded in another free midweek since the two teams are out of the Coppa

Anyway, among the matches that definitively finished, the randomly selected 'wildcard' fixture was match #6 which ended up a lot closer than I thought as Spurs only overcame Leicester 2-1 after extra time. The four people who foresaw a tighter affair deservedly claim a pair of bonus points each. The other bonuses all went to ultimo as Parma swept the team from La Spezia aside as expected – and five of the other eight participants somewhat surprisingly gambled on disagreeing. 

Those additional points go a long to way towards making up for missing the previous round as they catapult him back into second place. However, without the bonuses MVP RULZ would've been top scorer and even though he moves down a place, he's actually closer to Rory in terms of points than he was a week ago. Meanwhile, Tilde leapfrogs Bent Wookie in mid-table while at the bottom, I jump up one spot at worst performer Vegeta's expense, leaving Chutney Spoon a further point adrift overall. 

Still a few weeks until the FPL Cup final, but the contrast in form between the two finalists could hardly be starker. As for the other results: a home win for Man City was universally good for one-pointers in a crucial turning point for the title race (I have a feeling the Sunday outcomes, if included, would've been duds). Elsewhere, an overdue victory for Brentford and three more score draws in the EPL all proved fruitful, but a rare defeat for Chelsea's women plus a stalemate in the Turin derby caught most players out. 

Okay, that'll do. New ordinary-ish (keeping in mind there's a lot of knockout football) set of 10 coming up in the initial post lickety-split.

The results went into the original post on Sunday night, then a very significant table update soon followed. Defending champion MVP RULZ has taken the lead, having not even looked in contention for much of the campaign, but he seems to have come into form at just the right time. Two of his nearest challengers are within three points, with Stinky in fourth still having his second D2D turn to come, so it could be a very close title race.

At the other end, Chutney Spoon remains adrift by 30, but top scorer Vegeta moves clear of the bottom two. If he can repeat that performance in the FPL Cup final in a couple of weeks, he'd at the very least deny the new leader The Double. He also got the only bonuses of the round, with the randomly selected 'wildcard' fixture ending up as match #9 at the Mestalla. Nobody else went for a Betis away win, whereas he managed to guess the scoreline spot on. 

Elsewhere, victories for Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Rangers and a controversial five-goal thriller in El Clásico all proved fruitful, but the huge margins of victory for Brentford and Burnley meant they were good for one-pointers at best. The 'points deduction derby' at Goodison Park turned out a mixed bag of picks, whilst the incredible comeback by Cov that took their tie to penalties sadly, for the purposes of this competition, meant it was a dud outcome. 

Right, the next card – including the last D2D of the season – should go live at the top of the thread in a jiffy.
