Can MOT change their captain from Ray Wylie Hubbard to Jimmie Vaughan (6/19 SW) please?

Group A

Qualified: FAL, SRA

Eliminated: None

In contention: RAN, RR, KIL, COW. A "win and you are in" situation for all 4. Draw should secure progression for RAN and RR.

Group B

Qualified: HEA, AI, AYR

Eliminated: CB

In contention: PT, QOS. PT in the drivers seat, while QOS need a win an PT not to win.

Group C

Qualified LIV:

Eliminated: None

In contention: DEV, DUU, HAM, NAI, COV. COV need a win (maybe by 2) over HAM and a NAI loss to sneak in in 4th. Everyone else has a bit more of a straightforward route, though with complex edge cases.

Group D

Qualified: None

Eliminated: None

In contention: Everyone. Just win your game. Or draw, I don't know. It would take six paragraphs to go through all of the permutations here.

Group E

Qualified: ALO, SM

Eliminated: DUM

In contention: BER, STI, PET. Should PET beat ALO, they would leapfrog the loser of BER-STI, and still likely jump STI should they draw. But, with a PET draw or loss, both BER and STI make it through.

Group F

Qualified: FRA - the four teams behind them cannot all win

Eliminated: None

In contention: The rest. CEL need a 2 goal win over ELG and to hope that FRA beats ARB or ANN/EDI has a decisive winner. Everyone else has a much more straightforward path of needing to target a point or 3 in the last match.

Group G

Qualified: ROS

Eliminated: GM

In contention: MON, EST, DEE, STJ. STJ need a win by 3 to be absolutely certain of progressing. Otherwise might need help from MON. Everyone else has more reasonable targets of 1 or 3 points to get through.

Group H

Qualified: MOT, EF, ALB

Eliminated: CLY

In contention: HIB, DFA - since these two play each other it's easy. DFA need to win by 6+ goals, otherwise HIB progress.

Well done, James - those reminders are always helpful. Down to 6 lineups missing with half an hour remaining.

Fairly reasonable to plot out for the best players you can currently get in SESL, a 0/10:

So, unless I messed something up, a 3/40 before MSA should be doable if you are disciplined with your TP/CP pre-MSA at ages 1/2
