Round 1 - And they're off!

First round was a bag of mixed nuts for most players. The surprising 0-0 draw for ManU meant that only 4 players (out of 11) have their banker bonus for next week. Let's see if this will split the field early.

One player managed to negotiate the difficult terrain in grand style. The week's best result was "sid_med_pli" - is that you, Finn? - who came away with an impressive 90 points. Let's see if the running man can keep the tempo for the next rounds.

How good Finn's score was is evident from the fact that it is double that of the second best player, Axel, who after his victory two season's ago and second position last season must be ranked as one of the main favourites.

After these two high flyers came a group of 3 ManU fans with 30 points - Erdinc, Peter and Michael Harms. I just hope it's a sign that all ManU fans will have to get used to 3rd place!

I am excited to see that we are so many players. That'll make the league really interesting and competitive. I wish you all good luck for the next rounds.

Finally, even though there's no website on the horizon yet, you will get a little statictics:
The ten games resulted in 4 home wins, 4 away wins and 2 draws. There was an average of 2,8 goals per game - but more surprisingly, 1,5 goals were scored by away teams and only 1,3 goals by the homesides. Altogether a WEIRD round!
