WCA Premiership roundup

As we grind towards the last weekend of the season and the last games to be played, the Weekend Casual Association Premiership has taken shape and it's no surprise to find 3rd world ranked team Manchester With Chelsea once again dominating the league with currently only 2 games lost out of 20 played. However, this season's looking much closer than last season with FC Chicken 7 points behind and LMFAP 10 points off the lead, both with a game in hand. Both are sure to be looking closely to jump on any slip up that MWC may show. However, having once been chasing MWC in the qualifying leagues and hoping for the same slip up that never came, the current leaders, and reigning champions must be favourites to retain the league.

Behind them, the battle for 4th place is highly fought after with only 7 points separating 4th place from 11th. This is one battle that will go right to the end on Monday, with every team fighting for the extra money and glory that comes with 4th position. Riopool FC are currently leading this pack, but a mention must go to Football4Cast who are one of 3 teams unbeaten at home, but have conceded the measly number of 3 goals out of ten home games. Only 9 goals scored though has led to 6 of these games being draws. More firepower must be on the agenda for this team with a brick wall at the back.
Down at the wrong end of the league, the bottom three are near dead-certs to go down with Portsmouth Villa FC and Boulevard Manchester United both on 10 points and FC Blitzkreig doing their best to do a Sunderland on 9 out of a current possible 57 points. However, the fight to stay away from the last relegation spot looks like it could also go all the way to the wire with 4 points the gap between 12th and 17th positions.

So far though this season, it's not the highest scoring of seasons, with defences tending to win games more than all out attacking. Only 5 players have currently reachd double figures with LMFAP's Wason Renteria leading the pack with a very respectable 16 goals from 19 games, currently over half of his team's goals this season.

As for the teams currently fighting to get into next season's Premiership, Pride of Kodae are leading the Championship on 47 points with Kampong in 2nd and gunning for a second successive promotion and the last automatic promotion spot being held by Super Livi White Sox(one for Motson to learn on MOTD ;)) on 41 points, with Robbos Buccaneers 2 points behind and likely to push all the way to get that final guaranteed spot in the premiership.
