    We have a three-way tie at the top, with the Gulfers and the

    captain goal by benched Martinelli (courtesy of Neuer not being the sweeper-keeper he once was). Also goals by De Ketelaere (c) and Karl.

    Piccoli and Cambiaghi injured, Kean and Orsolini likely to start on
    the bench. Hamrun Spartans are playing Lincoln Red Imps at home, and
    their starting forward is an Italian-Senegalese kid, so why not?
    (Gattuso should pay me...). Captain shifts to penalty taker Grifo.

    Updated Armata:

    DF: [Dimarco, Di Lorenzo], Mancini
    MF: [Barella], Grifo(c), Lo. Pellegrini, Orsolini, Mandragora, Ndour
    FW: [Scamacca], Saliou Thioune, Kean

    Orsolini starts, wasted the captaincy on Grifo...

    Bernardeschi in, Mandragora out.

    captain goal by benched Martinelli (courtesy of Neuer not being the >sweeper-keeper he once was). Also goals by De Ketelaere (c) and Karl.

    Three-way tie at the top stays unchanged, but a lot of action in the

    Gulfers definitely in the title race, Jogo the best of the rest,
    Wonderland still comfortably midtable despite the blank. Armata and
    MH's teams make up the rear.




    Optimal MD5 lineups:

    Armata 5
    DF: Calabria
    MF: Orsolini
    FW: El Shaarawy (x2), Bernardeschi

    A flurry of goals for the Armata, including my FS pick Calabria...

    Bungs 8
    DF: Tavernier, Mitchell
    MF: Madueke, Yates, Malley
    FW: Barnes (x2), Delap

    Not an easy set of picks for the Bungs this week.


    Flickers 6
    DF:
    MF: Karl, Lewelling 2 (x2)
    FW: Adeyemi

    Lewelling's double the only missed Flicker goals.


    Gaels 3
    DF:
    MF: McTominay
    FW: Nisbet (x2)

    Perfect minus efficiency score for the Gaels (missed captain)

    Gulfers 10
    DF:
    MF: Ismaheel
    FW: Aubameyang 2 (x2), Lookman, Otele, Agnero, Ghali 2

    So many options that could have taken the Gulfers to a solo MD win and
    10 points bonus...


    Jogo 12
    DF: David Luiz, Paulinho, Abner
    MF: Ederson, Robert, Anderson Talisca
    FW: Estnvpo (x2), Richarlison, Martinelli, Bruno Duarte, Kaup Elias

    Almost the perfect 3-4-5 score for the Jogo.


    Rockers 5
    DF:
    MF: McKennie
    FW: P. David (x2), J. David, Balogun

    Perfect efficiency score!

    Vikings 13
    DF: Dahl, Svensson, Ingvarsson
    MF: Brunstad Fet, Kornvig, Odgaard, S. Andersen
    FW: Blomberg (x2), Dadason, Jordan Larsson, Nygren, I. Jensen,
    [Brunes, Kristinsson]

    Perfect 3-4-5 score for the Vikings, but not for the Viking manager.

    Waffles 5
    DF:
    MF: El Fanis
    FW: Openda (x2), De Ketelaere, Vertessen

    El Fanis's goal prevents the Waffles from getting a perfect efficiency
    score.


    Wonderland 2
    DF:
    MF:
    FW: Monteiro (x2)

    Tinkered out goal for the Wonderland, can't even console themselves
    with a N/A contribution to their efficiency score.

    MD5 lineups, results and standings:


    Quickie comments

    Gulfers 5
    Jogo 5
    Rockers 5
    Waffles 4

    Armata 2
    Bungs 2
    Flickers 2
    Gaels 2
    Vikings 2

    Wonderland 0

    Very unusual distribution of scores.





    And the standings after MD5:

    Team TotGoals TotPoints
    Bungs 22 46.1
    Gulfers 22 45
    Vikings 19 41.1
    Jogo 15 26.5
    Wonderland 11 25
    Flickers 15 24.6
    Rockers 9 19.17
    Armata 12 16.93
    Waffles 9 16
    Gaels 9 12.6

    Gulfers definitely in the title race, Jogo the best of the rest,
    Wonderland still comfortably midtable despite the blank. Armata and
    MH's teams make up the rear.




    Optimal MD5 lineups:

    Armata 5
    DF: Calabria
    MF: Orsolini
    FW: El Shaarawy (x2), Bernardeschi

    A flurry of goals for the Armata, including my FS pick Calabria...

    Doesn't matter much but I've got Bernardeschi as a midfielder.

    Bungs 8
    DF: Tavernier, Mitchell
    MF: Madueke, Yates, Malley
    FW: Barnes (x2), Delap

    Not an easy set of picks for the Bungs this week.

    Yeah, a tough crowd. Madueke should have been a shoe-in though,
    especially as a midfielder.


    Flickers 6
    DF:
    MF: Karl, Lewelling 2 (x2)
    FW: Adeyemi

    Lewelling's double the only missed Flicker goals.

    UEFA got him as a club forward.


    Gaels 3
    DF:
    MF: McTominay
    FW: Nisbet (x2)

    Perfect minus efficiency score for the Gaels (missed captain)


    Gulfers 10
    DF:
    MF: Ismaheel
    FW: Aubameyang 2 (x2), Lookman, Otele, Agnero, Ghali 2

    So many options that could have taken the Gulfers to a solo MD win and
    10 points bonus...

    Ghali is a UEFA midfielder, too.



    Jogo 12
    DF: David Luiz, Paulinho, Abner
    MF: Ederson, Robert, Anderson Talisca
    FW: Est|-v|uo (x2), Richarlison, Martinelli, Bruno Duarte, Kau|u Elias

    Almost the perfect 3-4-5 score for the Jogo.


    Rockers 5
    DF:
    MF: McKennie
    FW: P. David (x2), J. David, Balogun

    Perfect efficiency score!

    Two (almost) perfect scores in one week, impressive.

    Vikings 13
    DF: Dahl, Svensson, Ingvarsson
    MF: Brunstad Fet, Kornvig, Odgaard, S. Andersen
    FW: Blomberg (x2), Dadason, Jordan Larsson, Nygren, I. Jensen,
    [Brunes, Kristinsson]

    Perfect 3-4-5 score for the Vikings, but not for the Viking manager.

    I got Odgaard (he's not |ydegaard) as a UEFA forward though, so slightly improved efficiency actually.

    Waffles 5
    DF:
    MF: El Fanis
    FW: Openda (x2), De Ketelaere, Vertessen

    El Fanis's goal prevents the Waffles from getting a perfect efficiency
    score.

    How could he have missed the -aamrun Spartans guy!


    Wonderland 2
    DF:
    MF:
    FW: Monteiro (x2)

    Tinkered out goal for the Wonderland, can't even console themselves
    with a N/A contribution to their efficiency score.

    Argh! I hate those goals by subs (same with Madueke, to be honest).
    What are you supposed to do, not go for the starters?


    Players for Gibraltar, Palestine, and Chad got as many goals as the
    Wonderland on this wretched matchday.

    I have always been so impressed with the fluency and correct use of
    idiom of your English (also Jesus's among others), so I hope you will
    forgive me a small correction.
    It is shoo-in. Term originates from corrupt horse racing. Many, many,
    native English speakers get this one wrong.
