We're very much into the closing stages of another tremendous (albeit frequently infuriating) FTL season and realistically it all comes down to a straight shoot out between the top two in the standings - Team LeTournaeu (Sindre) and Goaldies (Sagar).
Sindre and Sagar have FTL pedigree and have been consistent performers over the years so its no surprise to see the two of them at the top of the standings.
Everyone in the top 10 can be proud of a great FTL season but it does seem now that the top two are now out of sight of the chasing pack.
But can Goaldies close the gap in what's left of the season?
This week its almost a case of "great minds think alike" as they have almost identical teams.
From the outset there was only one difference - Alexandrova for Team Le Tourneau and Cobolli for Goaldies but the withdrawal of Iga has given Sindre another small gain as his ER1 Eala outscored Mertens who was ER1 for Sagar.
Alexandrova also has points on the table and her win over Kostyuk puts her in a strong position this week. Sagar is also benefitting from Alexsndrova points momentarily as his ER2 but those points will drop of when Cobolli plays so more than ever he really needs Flavio to turn up this week - not something we can often rely on.
So its advantage Sindre in the overall standings and in this game week so far but there are still a few twists and turns to come and the number of trades each have left in reserve could prove pivotal!!
