Not much to say about changes in the table... Apologies for this, in retrospect I feel like I chose too many low-likelihood scenarios and not enough likely ones.
I've decided to postpone the cup second legs because I feel that it would effectively make the semifinals single-legged. If Vanni and G.B are both fine with counting this round for the cup (meaning they will both be knocked out) we'll count this round but otherwise the 2nd semifinal leg will be this coming round.

Bit naughty that. I still had to pick H to get the 5 points.

 

[G.B]

in my role as eric's role model and personal hero, i've already advised him (prior to his post on here) to count it as the 2nd leg to avoid a mutiny. i also advised him to PICK BETTER SCENARIOS in future.

 

[Vanni]

What he said ^

 

[Leewilson]

1) Man City, Liverpool

2) Man City 2-1 Spurs, Cardiff 1-3 Liverpool

3) Bournemouth/Fulham

4) Crystal Palace

Super_horns manages to substantially cut down the distance to long-time leader G.B , who could come away without silverware this season after being on for a double just weeks ago. Benji and Leewilson score strongly to put themselves in with a faint title hope, while Vanni is lagging behind slightly but puts distance between himself and Dave.

The title race is just a bit closer as Super_horns edges closer to longtime leader G.B with a great score but it could be too little, too late for the former if the Round 0 results don't go his way.

Thanks to G.B for alerting me to the fact that scenario G was correct.

CUP 3RD PLACE MATCH

Vanni 9-13 G.B

Congratulations to G.B on his shiny new medal and commiserations to Vanni for just missing out, just one more match left in the cup now...

 

[epic73]

ROUND 0 UPDATE
Here's how many points each user is looking like getting from the Round 0 scenarios:

Benji: 10 (if City win the league) + 6 + 0 = 6 or 16
Leewilson: 10 (if City win the league) + 6 + 10 (if Aubameyang is top scorer) = 6 or 16 or 26
Dirk: 10 (if City win the league) + 3 + 0 = 3 or 13
Super_horns: 10 (if City win the league) + 6 + 10 (if Aguero is top scorer) = 6 or 16 or 26
G.B: 0 + 3 + 0 = 3
Dave: 10 (if City win the league) + 6 + 0 = 6 or 16
Vanni: 10 (if Liverpool win the league) + 6 + 10 (if Salah is top scorer) = 6 or 16 or 26

Super_horns suddenly looks much closer than he did as he looks to make up 13 points on G.B, bringing the difference excluding Round 38 to just 7 points.

 

[epic73]
