GUNNERS CLINCH CHAMPIONSHIP BERTH
Can anyone stop them?

Week 10 in the Subsim Fantasy Football League, and there's only one team that looks like it can dominate everyone, including the only team able to keep up scoring with them.

Except of course that other team that put up over 200 points this week. Who is that foreign team that shows that they can play with the domestic teams?

We'll get to all those important burning questions, as, once again, we go around the grounds in our weekly review of the most important league in the world....right after this very important message.


VOTE FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.

I have no idea what the Drunk Monkeys are doing, One week they're not here winning games and getting to .500%, the next week they show up repenting their losses, only to not show up again. Coach Gargamnel decided not to show up this week and got scratched out by Coach FYC and the Black Cats Cats started their usual QB Cam Newton, while the Monkeys started their exceptionally invisible QB, Andrew Luck. No such luck here as the Cats strolled through the Drunk Monkeys. Monkeys put up a respectable score to be within 34 points, points they might have gotten has they remembered to change their QB and RB. Black Cats get handed yet another easy win defeating the Drunk Monkeys 151 - 117.

And speaking of easy wins, how about that Match of the Day with the Taipans hosting the Guns of Hochuli. Coach Casey lead his team to become the first into the play off, in back to back years, as the Gunners made the long trek south to cut the Taipans. Taipans and Gunners to this game had been the highest scoring teams in the league, however, the this was no contest despite being close after Thursday night. Gunners simply scored too many touchdowns (isn't that always the way) as they put another W in their column blowing out the Taipans 183 - 138.

Is there anyone that can stop the Gunners? Is there anyone who can stay at the scoring pace of the Guns of Hochuli. Ladies and the Gentlemen, the revived Helmand Nighthawks.

Nighthawks hosted the Who Dat Nation this week in Cardiff Arms Park, Wales, cause having two international venues just wasn't enough for the Commissioner this year. The nation flew in with the knowledge that a loss would potentially drop them to last on the ladder, and more importantly, eliminate at least one of the play off berths. Who Dat Nation started well with some fast scoring movement down the field. QB Drew Brees connected with WR Antonio Brown for one TD and a second to WR Brandin Cooks to set the Nation up with one of the better scores this year. But hold the phone governor, the Nighthawks came out and just belted the Nation out of the stadium. Russell Wilson (QB) connected with Doug Baldwin for three TD's, while the Nighthawks running backs just tore through the heart of the Nation defensive line. Mister Chris and the Nighthawks make a bold statement that while they may be have been middle of the field for the first half of the season, their back end half has started with blow out. Helmand Nighthawks send the Who Dat Nation away beadless, 211 - 170.

That's the easy part, now comes the dissection as we try to work out what the play offs will look like.

The win by the Guns of Hochuli and the losses by both the Who Dat Nation and the Drunk Monkeys give the give the Guns of Hochuli the divisional title, and assure them of either the #1 or the #2 play off seed. The losses by the Drunk Monkeys and the Who Dat Nation drop them both to last in the league, both teams at 3 - 7. The Nation holds the wooden sppon having not won a divisional game yet. The Monkeys and the Who Dat Nation possibility of a Championship berth depends entirely on the Surface Skimmers Division.

The win by the Black Cats on the non existent opposition elevates the Cats to 6 - 4. The Helmand Nighthawks keep pace with their monster win but are still one game in arrears at 5 - 5. The Taipans loss drops them back to 4 - 6. This division doesn't have any of these three teams taking an ownership yet, and statistically, is still up for grabs. In a unique situation, The Black Cats look the most volatile based on the scoring of the teams. The Cats have scored the least number of points, and likewise had less points scored against them. The Nighthawks have scored more points than the Nighthawks, and have also had significantly more points scored against them. Finally, the Taipans have scored even more points than the Nighthawks and the Cats, but, as we have chronicled, have had significantly more points scored against them this year. If the Nighthawks and the Taipans can get a break, this division could go into a three way. Too close to call.

So with all that action, where are we going for next weeks Match of the Day. To the bottom of the ladder in Oregon for the Who Dat Nation hosting the Drunk Monkeys. The Nation are yet to win a divisional game and must win next week to have any hope of making the play offs. The Drunk Monkeys on the other hand can still make the playoffs as the #3 seed, and what appears to be the easier path into the Championship and avoiding the Guns of Hochuli, - but they must show up next week.

Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.

For the effort of 8 receptions for 114 yards with 2 rushing touchdowns, and 2 receptions for 95 yards with one touchdown , for a total of 46.90 points, the Associated Subsim Writers are pleased to present Ezekiel Elliot of the Helmand Nighthawks the Week Ten MVT.
