Well that's everyone in the starting stalls for the penultimate weekend of the season. I'd just like to wish Topdog and rcgills good luck in the next two weeks. If either or both of you finish ahead of me it will be a cracking effort considering the gap that you will have overcome. Also, I think I'm right in saying that I got the two biggest scores of the competition with a couple of five-timers , which, let's face it, are largely more a matter of luck than skill (picking winners is one thing - the fact that they may happen to be in the same weekend is entirely fortunate). That makes the feat even greater.
Cheers ODM, best of luck to you and Topdog too. Doesn't matter how you score your points, they all count. One thing though, this isn't the penultimate weekend, is it? Thought the comp finished with the final weekend of the Prem, which is the 13th May? So I make it that there's 2 more weekends after this one.

Nawoo 92.58 Top weekly scorer: ODM 19.1pts (week 25) Great week for Topdog. Top scorer with 6.3pts, and he's now within 1pt of ODM I'm falling behind a little in 3rd, although still within striking distance with 1 good weekend. Even Howson can't be completely ruled out if he manages to land a 5-fold in the last 2 weeks. At the other end, Nawoo has a chance to move off the bottom if one of his 2 remaining picks wins, Kegman the player in his sights. Two weeks to go. If for whatever reason anyone (ODM or Topdog in particular) does want to PM their picks, obviously not a lot of point PMing them to me, any volunteers to receive the PMs if required? Good luck all for the last two rounds
I won't be wanting to pm them mate. Just gonna put them up as normal. I've already decided I'm likely to be backing Derby to draw and Preston to win (as long as they aren't too short) so only three more to go for.
Will be backing Leicester as well and Southampton to either win or draw, haven't made my mind up about that one yet
Nawoo's last 2 picks were losers, so he stays bottom for now. Less than a point behind Kegman though, all to play for at the bottom as well as at the top.
