With 15 points left to fight over in the top flight, there are 7 teams that still have a chance, mathematically at least, at earning top honors in the BZZZZZZZ Division. Still, with 2 of 3 teams at the bottom already relegated, plenty of teams will be content to simply earn the required Development Points and challenge next season.

Mild-Mannered Men (1st, 44pts, +27) had an easy week, crushing a hapless West Ham Olympic (13th, 4pts, -70) that's quickly setting records for worst team in league history 5-1. They'll need it, as there's a three-way tie for second only 5 points behind, while 5th and 6th are 11 and 12 points behind respectively.

Trollchester United (4th, 39pts, +24) effectively ended NEST FC's (8th, 25pts, -3) chance at a run at the title with a 5-1 defeat. After defeating FreeBags FC (5th, 37pts, +24), Principality of Zeon (3rd, 39pts, +24) and Trollchester leapfrogged the defending champions. Trollchester along with Principality of Zeon are tied on points and goal differential, with Zeon ahead by merit of goals scored. UMAD FC (2nd, 39pts, +25) had a bye week.

Earth Federation (6th, 33pts, +7) has failed to live up to the pedigree inherited by SP Sultans, losing 1-6 to Strong Island (10th, 24pts, -2). Dynasty's (7th, 32pts, +15) impressive win streak was ended with a disappointing away draw to Real Richmond (11th, 12pts, -25). Earth Federation and Dynasty aren't too far off, but will need to pick up the pace if they want to have a legitimate chance at the title. If not, however, then they have plenty of room for error if they're looking to settle down and wait 'til next year. The only team in the relegation zone that HASN'T been mathematically relegated is Real Richmond, but they're 12 points behind the next team.

The Good Game Kids (9th, 24pts, +1) will probably feel aggrieved at an away draw again Hamilton Hawks (12th, 9pts, -47) but along with NEST FC and Strong Island would need to avoid all but an truly monumental collapse to be relegated.

  1. Wouldn't be too sure about me not getting relegated. If the admin changes the league format, me/NEST/GGK could get fucked.
