Round of 8 Bracket 2 GW 34 & GW 35 - Home and Away Wrapping up the Round of 8... If you had the right ManU and Liverpool players we should see some high scores. 2 Kopite Juniors v 7 Pararaiders: Kopite Juniors got two goals and two assists in Thursday's final match. That just piled it on as Pararaiders had just a lone Fernandes goal. That gets Kopite Juniors into the Semi-Finals.

Round of 8 Bracket 1 Semi-Finals 1 FC St. Pauli v 5 ColdDogSoup Lobo had perfect timing bringing in Ferran Torres, hat trick hero. A goal and assist from Cancelo and then a goal and two assists from the combined effort of Kane, Bale and Pereira. Once again ColdDogSoup has piled it on in the first match. FC St. Pauli had just a Ward-Prowse assist leaving a long road ahead of them to catch up.

Round of 8 Bracket 2 Semi-Finals 2 Kopite Juniors v 3 Glorydaze: Glorydaze gets goals from Welbeck and Salah in front of the home crowd. Just was just enough to draw it up with Kopite Juniors.

Round of 8 Bracket 1 Semi-Finals 1 FC St. Pauli v 5 ColdDogSoup FC St. Pauli was able to secure the win but could not make up for the deficit. With that, Lobo goes to the finals to defend his title!

Round of 8 Bracket 2 Semi-Finals 2 Kopite Juniors v 3 Glorydaze: All tied up after their first match, I get a sense that this one is going to remain a tight one. Let's see... Kopite gets goals from Antonio and late sub Iheanacho. Traore gets the assist and that is three. Glorydaze leaves a glorious Rudiger goal on the bench. Oh well. On the pitch, they have Antonio with a goal and assists from Lingard and Cresswell. That is three as well! This one is going to go to the rule book: Round of 8 to Final The remaining 8 teams will be ranked based on total points, totals goals and assists, then goals. The 8 teams will be placed in a bracket. Top seeded team plays the lowest seeded team. Each match will have a home and away game. If there is a tie then away points (goals and assists will govern) Total of 6 Gameweeks 33-38 That means Glorydaze wins based on the better away points. What a slugfest! Match 2 (GW 37): Kopite Juniors at Home: 2 Kopite Juniors 3 (2G + 1A) v 3 (1G + 2A) 3 Glorydaze' Match 1 (GW 36): Glorydaze at Home: 2 Kopite Juniors 2 (1G + 1A) v 2 (2G + 0A) 3 Glorydaze
Half Time Update Lobo is in the lead with a Harry Kane goal! Glorydaze has a Targett assist but it is in the middle of the bench. He will need Greenwood and Rashford to not play to get that one. Golden Boot Final (GW 38) 5 ColdDogSoup 1 (1G + 0A) v 0 (0G + 0A) 3 Glorydaze
Thanks, love this comp and thanks for all your hard work; going to spend the Summer fighting Gaffer A'rry Paws and Kane for chewing rights and whispering to Kane what a figure he will cut in Chelsea Blue:
For the record books, time to see how that final game scored... Glorydaze had a Targett assist from the bench for the autosub with the ManU pairing of Greenwood and Rashford rested for the UEFA final. Other than that there was only an assist from Salah for just two assists total. On top of that, Antonio, Cresswell and Lingard all played no part in the 3-0 drubbing of Southampton. That left Lobo pretty much to waltz in there and give the Wembley fans what they wanted, some spectacular showings. That was delivered by a brace from Pepe, a brace from fan favorite Gareth Bale and that final goal of the season for Harry Kane to win the real Golden Boot. The parallels are too much. Now, the manager has to answer, threepeat? All will be watching the next draft strategy and that second round Striker pick... Congratulations, impressive performance!
