A real Jekyll & Hyde week in Group A this week with half the group scoring 55 points while the bottom half only managing -2 of the 53 total points gained!! Interestingly out of the 15 weeks we are into this season this is the third week the total points scored has been 53, not sure how you would calculate the odds of that but no other weekly score has been repeated let alone appeared 3 times!!
So lets talk about that top 4 this week. Minizin becomes the first player this season to be last one week and jump to top spot the following week! This week he scored 17 points with a max on the bonus ball along with one other CS and 4 more CRs to boost his score. Like all bar 2 players he missed on the Gamball but even so it must feel good to bounce back after his worst week of the season last week. AAA is second with 16 points, he was one of the 2 players to score a CR on the Gamball and added a week's leading 2 CSs as well. Zinman is in the top 3 of Group A for the 4th week in a row with 12 points, like AAA he got a CR on the Gamball and also added one on the Bonus as well but did put his scoreball on the only 0-0 we saw costing him a point. Rounding out the double digit achievers in 4th is BaggieOne with 10 points, he has seen his form improve the last couple of weeks after a wretched 4 week run that saw him lose top spot.
And now we get to the bottom 4, BaggieVicar, Twerton, BBB and Stairs, who between them managed a grand total of -2 points!!!! The Vicar at least managed a positive score with 3 points after scoring on three games but missing on all his balls. Twerton didn't trouble the scorers with a big fat zero, but at least that sees him 3rd bottom this week because the remaining 2 ended with negative scores. BBB missed on his Gamball and Bonus but managed a CR on his scoreball game to sit at -1 for the week.
Stairs, if you are reading this you should now skip straight to Zinman's Group B writeup!!! Stairs set a couple of season records this week, unfortunately they are not the ones you want. He got all 10 predictions wrong, first player to achieve that this season and missed on his scoreball to end with -4, the lowest score of the season so far. Thankfully he did not put his scoreball on the same game as Zin or else he would have finished with the worst possible score of -5!!

149 BaggieOne
141 A.A.A.
138 Twerton
124 BaggieVicar
120 Zinman
114 B.B.B.
So after such a disjointed week in terms of scoring we see 6 positional changes this week!! Minizin goes back to the top of the table, I would say its down to his good week but Stairs nightmare week also helped him to create an 18 point lead in the end!!! Stairs retains second spot but is now only 10 points ahead of BaggieOne in third. AAAs good form sees him jump a place into 4th, dropping Twerton into 5th, now 3 points behind. Baggie Vicar stays where he is but the bottom two are now closer to him. Now we move onto the biggest news of the week - ZINMAN MOVES OFF THE BOTTOM FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS SEASON!!!!!!!. Unfortunately for BBB, that wooden spoon is now his to lose!!
Stats update - well not really, just here to say that we are generally crap at predicting the Bonus Ball but thats nothing new. The Bonus ball has been used once by each player in every week so it has been played 150 times so far (its compulsory so I am stating the bleedin' obvious there). There have only been 9 spot on predictions so far, thats only 6% and only 33 CRs (22%), so Group A has only scored on 28% of the Bonus balls played so far this season and with the negative score for an incorrect prediction only 3 (yes three) points in total have been scored on it!! And to think you lot get to choose which game to play it on!!!
Cheers

Derby 2
Snooty 2
Salop -2
Not such a good week for Group B with a total of just 36 points scored - the lowest return since week 3. Correct scores were rarer than an Albion shot on target - just 2 this week- and only one player was able to secure a positive gamball. As well as the gamball, the Bournemouth Chelsea game produced a negative total and nobody scored a thing on both the Bristol City and Ipswich games.
Mr Inconsistent followed up his negative score last week with a table topping 10 points. Themaclad had 4 correct results, the best performance this week and one of the 2 correct scores. He was also one of 4 players to correctly predict his bonus to just scrape into double figures. SCO was the only player to gain points from the gamball and matched Themaclad's single correct score to secure second place, one point ahead of Amelia. She only predicted 3 correct results but one of them being her bonus was enough to secure 3rd spot.
Not much positive to say about the rest. 4eva and Lady Jane both had 2 correct predictions but were helped by one of them being the bonus. 4eva also scored from his scoreball. Derby and Snooty scored on 1 more game than the pair above them but missed out on all their balls to leave them with just 2 points. Bottom spot was reserved for Salop, continuing his poor season with just 1 correct prediction and no correct balls for his 2nd negative score of the season.
150 4eva
124 SCO
118 Snooty
116 Themaclad
115 Lady Jane
107 Amelia
100 Derby
89 Salop
A low scoring week so limited movement in the overall table. 4eva maintains a comfortable lead at the top with SCO edging ahead of Snooty to take 2nd place on his own. Themaclad climbs above Lady Jane while Derby becomes the 7th player to hit the 100 point mark (at least for this week!)
I thought I'd take a look at the current form table as my extra for this week. 4eva has accelerated away from the pack, securing 77 points in the last 6 weeks, 24 more than Amelia who got almost half of her recent points in one week! As they seem to have been all season, Themaclad and SCO are together with 50 points while, somewhat surprisingly given the overall table (and this week's performance) Salop is in 5th spot. The current struggler is Lady Jane with just 38 points over the last 6 weeks.
