Looking at the table after 9 matches I think I'm in a good position. I've tied some games I shouldn't have but with 6 matches to play before the halfway point, I should be able to go 4-1-1 giving me 28 pts at the halfway point & likely in the top 4. Irish Warriors has 3 tough matches before the halfway point, Gladiators has 2 & Kings Eagles, coming off a victory over Brunswick, has to deal with tpromeo, a league cup match, Berrykush (Q78) & myself. The top 2 teams have not been active at all this season. Brunswick has 2 major injuries & tpromeo is about due to be 'botted' since I don't believe he logged in last season or this season & based on his team history, I'm guessing he didn't log in the season prior either. 

My matches today are against FC Allegheny & Brunswick. I expect two wins here as Allegheny hasn't logged in all season & will be missing 3 players for a total Q drop of 7. With 2 defenders out, I'll be upping my pressure & trying to get Alistair Thomas some goals as he needs to make hay while he can & win the award for most department goals scored. 

Brunswick has taken 2 major injuries resulting in a total Q drop of 14. He'll be missing a middie & an attacker so I'll look to capitalize on that by using an extra midfielder & trying to play a possession game against a team that will still be much better than me. Still, it's a road game so I should temper my excitement a bit. 

In other league matches today, tpromeo plays brunswick & Kings Eagles plays Lythong. I think that will be a litmus test for both squads as we turn the page on the first third of the season. KE plays 3 teams with higher Q than him before the halfway point so taking care of business today is going to be important. Same can be said of Lythong who has 4 matches against higher Q teams before the midway point. 

During the second matches today Kings Eagles plays trpomeo & Gladiators takes on Irish Warriors. Very exciting as all of the top 6 will be playing each other. As of now it will be:

1 v 5, 2 v 6, 3 v 4. 

Very exciting day indeed in USA 3/10
