Whiskey de Bruyne win to move to eight-in-a-row. A win next week and they’ll have a full set. But also note: The El Dude Brothers have already done this. They made 10 straight wins from gameweeks 18 and 27. That ended when they lost to ASG in GW28, but they then immediately won the next four to today. 💪

A double huge milestone moment was reached this weekend for Sporting Wicker Park, one of our originals and the highest pointscoring club of all-time. They passed 14,000 league matchpoints this week with their 54-39 win against Spray, and that also makes it over 16,000 fantasy points in all competitions! Congratulations to them.

Another big milestone looms on the horizon. We have now had 6,949 BFFA matches, which means that in Gameweek 35 we will be watching our 7,000th game. Watch this space…

But first, the league results from Gameweek 32:

Premier League

The big news at the top is that We have Kompany have finally mangaed to stop the rot and relaunch their attack on the top. And they did this against none other than the team at the top themselves, Barons FC. That twelve-point win meant that the three teams below could close in on the leaders. Two of them took advantage of this – MFF & Sporting Wicker Park beat the teams in seventh & tenth and now sit just three points behind, with a better fantasy points total. MFF and SWP both have to play the teams in first and fourth in the next few games and this will be another dramatic conclusion to the Premier League.

Championship

Qualified for Champions League:
Gloopy Yarbles, Housewives Favourite, Hung Like a Bony & The El Dude Brothers

No positional changes on the face of it, but some major developments nevertheless. Housewives Favourite maintain their six-point lead, but are continually chased by The El Dude Brothers who are still looking to close the gap before their crucial GW35 meeting. The big story came at the game between Gloopy Yarbles and All Star Gunners. ASG, who were still hunting for fourth place, benefitted from the heroics of Sam Johnstone & Bakayo Saka in the short gameweek and coasted to victory. The result meant that El Dude Bros were able to put some water between second & third, while Hung Like a Bony close the gap on the play-off place. This week could prove pivotal as they too head towards a Gameweek 35 six-pointer.

League One

ATC had their seven-game winning streak ended by a Peltier side who were still gunning for promotion, but probably more pressingly, fighting to guarantee survival in League One. They are probably just one win away from safety now with their win over ATC and Ole’s loss to Jaysokker. Jaysokker are hanging on at the foot of the table, while at the other end AFC Chester win their sixth consecutive game and reach the top of the league for the first time this season. Not bad for a team who were ninth after the first set of nie games.
And a big win in the race for third, ELU snatch a one-point win over K&R to leapfrog BattleVAR and launch their own challenge for a playoff place.

League Two

Qualified for Champions League:
Real Bastardos, Whiskey de Bruyne

This week saw a couple of one-point victories and this one in League Two gave Whiskey de Bruyne a place in next season’s Champions League. As mentioned above, that is now eight-in-a-row for the debutants, and it is also six-from-the-last-six for the league leaders Real Bastardos. The pair will meet again in the big penultimate week, but not until after the top two play the Ostriches & the Cockerels, two teams scrapping it out in midtable who switched places for the third time in four weeks.

The Post Season

The End of Season Approaches…!

Four games to go.

These final few games will decide titles, relegations, play-offs and qualification for tournaments next season! Here’s what to watch for as we approach the Post Season:

The Playoffs!

The highlight of the post-season: our inaugural Promotion Play-offs.

At the end of the season – GW36 – the top two teams from the lower divisions will be promoted and the bottom two will be relegated. In previous seasons it was a straight three-up, three-down, but this year we are introducing Pro/Rel Play-Offs, giving the teams in eighth the opportunity to fight for their place. Third-placed teams, who should be much stronger and better prepared, no longer get an automatic promotion, but instead have to play two legs against a weaker team to get themselves over that line.

#1) 8th, Premier League vs. 3rd, Championship: Winner gets a Premier League place in Season 10.
#2) 8th, Championship vs. 3rd, League One: Winner gets a Championship place in Season 10.
#3) 8th, League One vs. 3rd, League Two: Winner gets a League One place in Season 10.
Two Legs, GW37 & GW38.

And here’s how the Post-Season affects everybody:

#1) Champion of Champions

The teams at the top of each league at the end of Gameweek 36 will win the title and the prizes attached to it. But there will be some discussion as to which of the four was the best team of the season, so in the final two gameweeks the four League Champions will playoff for another $50 and the title of Champion of Champions!

Three games, knockout style.
Ties broken by goals scored, assists, least reds, least yellows, Bonus Points then BPS.

GW37:	⚽ Highest-scoring Champion vs. Lowest-scoring Champion ⚽ Champion #2 vs. Champion #3
GW38:	⚽ *Winner vs.* Winner**

The outright winner will also be set-up to play in the just-for-fun Dare Holdren Community Shield against the BFFA Cup Winners in Gameweek 1 next season.

#2) The Runners-Up Trophy

All the teams finishing 2nd and 3rd will qualify for the 2023 Champions League next season, as will the current Champions League Champions – Gloopy Yarbles – and the BFFA Cup Winners (to be decided).
(If the CL Winners and/or the BFFA Cup winners finish the season in the top three, then the fourth-placed team in that League will also get an automatic Champions League placement and be entered into the Runners-Up Trophy.)

These ten teams will play in a post-season mini-tournament – two weeks, the most accumulated points wins an additional $30.

#3) The Champions League Qualifiers

The 2023 Champions League will again be contested by 16 teams, split into four groups of four (again with one League Champion in each group).

The top three teams from each league this season, plus the Champions League Champions (or the 4th-placed in their league) and the BFFA Cup winners (or the 4th-placed in their league) will make up fourteen of the qualified teams, meaning we need two more.

Starting this season we will invite four teams to play two matches during the Post-Season, and the two winners from those games will earn a place in the CL Draw in August. Initially, those four teams will be the 4x 4th-placed teams at the end of the season, but as some will qualify for the Champions League via other means, those slots will open up.

We know now that the top four in the Championship will automatically qualify for the Champions League (three league places plus Gloopy as CL holders) so as it stands Peltier would get a play-off match as the next-best unqualified teams in the BFFA.

Similarly, if the BFFA Cup winners finish in the top four, then a second reserve will get a shot at Champions League qualification too. This means that the high-scoring teams will want to keep an eye on the Best-ish table every week as teams fall out of the top three and the double gameweeks shake up the rankings.

Today, the top reserves – the top four scoring teams not currently in a top-four league position – are:
Peltier, 1430 FPts (Seventh, League One)
All Star Gunners, 1428 FPts (Fifth, Championship)
We have Kompany, 1363 FPts (Fifth, Premier League)
Boss, 1357 FPts (Eighth, Premier League).

#4) The Intramural League Qualifiers

If you don’t make the Champions League places or the Qualifiers then you could qualify for next season’s Intramural League.
Each League will send one representative to the IML in September.
(Once there, the Premier League team will play the League Two rep across two legs in the First Round, and the Championship side will play a League One club).
In GW37, ⚽ 5th will play 8th & ⚽ 6th plays 7th.
⚽ The winners of each game will playoff in GW38 for qualification.
Less than four teams? Then the top team(s) get a first-week bye. Lovely.

#5) The Wooden Spoon

The bottom two from each league will unfortunately miss out on the IML Qualifiers and instead have their own little tournament to play in. The aim is simply to avoid being the season’s worst team. No-one wants that. If you finish ninth or tenth in your league then you will no doubt already be under pressure to keep your job as a head coach! Pass this test and you could be off the hook.

Eight teams – the worst two scores in Gameweek 37 will be set up in a final week showdown ⚽ Win there and save your blushes. Lose that and you’ll be made to remember it (but be thankful that we didn’t set any forfeits this year!)
