Faith in Cap'n 'Arry got rewarded.
Do we need a goalkeeper category?

Those two minutes with goals by Kane and Rashford probably sealed the
fate of the UtN season.

They're considered defenders. We had a case like this a couple of
years ago when Provedel scored for Lazio and the Armata.

Last roll of the dice for the Armata. Immobile not even in the squad, >Cambiaghi and Bernardeschi not starting. On the other hand Mancini
starts, and he could have a bullet header in him.
I'll keep Bernardeschi, and replace Cambiaghi with Cisotti. 4-7-1

manage to hang on to third place, despite a considerable slowdown at
the end. Rockers the best of the mid-table teams thanks to a good distribution of goals across match days. Wonderland, Waffles and Gaels
bring up the rear.

Armata 7
DF: Dimarco

Cisotti... aargh!
Bungs 9
DF: Mings
MF: Willock, McAtee
FW: Solanke (x2), Kane, Rashford, Rowe, Blake, [Rogers, Jimoh-Aloba,

5 of 11 Bungs goals coming from overseas-based players. The times they

Flickers 4
DF:
MF: Wirtz, Musiala
FW: Havertz (x2)
Quiet day for the Flickers.

Eggs, omelette.

Jogo 9
DF:
MF:
FW: Jo|uo Pedro 2 (x2), Igor Jesus 2, Martinelli, Bruno, Raphinha, [Anderson, Ricardinho, Alisson Santos, Antony, , Bruno Duarte]
10 different Jogo forwards on the board (with no goals from any other positions)
Rockers 5
DF: Trusty
MF: Tillman 2 (x2)
FW:
Quasi-perfect efficiency.
Vikings 12
DF: Sj|+vold, Bak Jensen

FW: Gy||keres, S|+rloth, Da|#ason, Haaland, H|+jlund, [H|+gh, Dolberg, Nygren, Tengstedt]

Don't want to do the maths myself, would the outcome have been different
if the double-points rule had still been in effect?
Optimal lineups
---------------
Armata 7
DF: Dimarco
MF: Vergara, Orsolini, Cisotti, Pobega
FW: Chiesa (x2)
Cisotti... aargh!
Interesting career, from Serie B to Malta to the Romanian third division
to the European cups (where he already scored last year, too.)
Flickers 4
DF:
MF: Wirtz, Musiala
FW: Havertz (x2)
Quiet day for the Flickers.
Missing Undav here while you have him above.
Havertz a UEFA midfielder.
Jogo 9
DF:
MF:
FW: Jopo Pedro 2 (x2), Igor Jesus 2, Martinelli, Bruno, Raphinha,
[Anderson, Ricardinho, Alisson Santos, Antony, , Bruno Duarte]
10 different Jogo forwards on the board (with no goals from any other
positions)
The one that stands out for me here is Pafos's Bruno (or Bruno Felipe),
who showed up as a 21-year-old with no formal pedigree on the doorsteps
of an Austrian 2nd-division team in Vorarlberg, made a name for himself >there, moved to LASK, then Greece, then Moldova, then Cyprus, and has
now capped it off with his first Champions League goal at age 31.
And even though UEFA disagrees, he's in fact a right-back.
Vikings 12
DF: Sjovold, Bak Jensen
MF: Schjelderup 2(x2), T. Ali
FW: Gy%keres, Sorloth, DaEason, Haaland, Hojlund, [Hogh, Dolberg,
Nygren, Tengstedt]
9 different Viking forwards on the board. Brazil still has the edge.
UEFA has Sjovold in midfield and Schjelderup in attack, which should
improve efficiency.
Five Danish goals, five Norwegian, three Swedish, and one Icelandic.
Waffles 4
DF:
MF: Engels, Heymans
FW: Vermant (x2)
Also quiet for the Waffles.
Would have been even quieter for the Windmills, who only got one
through Utrecht's De Wit.
But over the whole campaign the Windmills clearly edge the Waffles
by a combined total of 41 goals scored to 22 (if I didn't miscalculate).

We'll have to keep track of Left-Out NTs as well as left-out players.
By the way, my hunch is that the Batraciens would have topped the
overall goalscoring table. Even old-man Giroud (the second best FS
pick of all time) was in on the party.
