Hm...this suggests otherwise. Lazio is quite close to Napoli, Roma
should be doing much better than it is, and Fiorentina and Atalanta are overperforming.

But the big striped three are still a fair bit ahead (which was probably
true also during the Sette Sorelle era)

Five teams within one point at the top of Serie A, six within two, and
likely seven within five once Milan and Bologna have played their game
in hand.

Back to UtN: Retegui and Kean at the top of the capocannonieri list, and playing for scudetto contenders(?). Now that's something new...(but of
course, the first part was also true of Immobile)

Archie Gray is playing, but as a central defender (UEFA has him as MF),

In the end, the inspired David Abagna pick carries the day for the Wakas
(it was a totally deliberate pick, and not a desperate last-minute
attempt to find any starting Waka midfielder to put in the lineup...)

Vikings 15
DF:
MF: Berg, Zachariassen, Gunnarsson, Gulliksen
FW: Gyökeres 3 (x2), K. Hansen 2, Rieks, Holten, Oskarsson, [N. Hansen, Hümmet]

Vikings with the top best-lineup score of the week.

Waffles/Windmills 12
DF: Flamingo, Kasius
MF: Reijnders, Vanaken, Taylor, Fitz-Jim, [Smit, Stroeykens]
FW: Bakayoko (x2), Gakpo, Malen, Rots, Lammers, [Godts, Brobbey, Daal]

Waffles only best lineup: 5
DF:
MF: Vanaken, Stroeykens
FW: Bakayoko (x2), Godts

Waka-Waka 14
DF: Guindo
MF: Milson, Abagna, Agba
FW: K. Konate 2 (x2), Diallo 2, Osimhen 2, Silas, Lookman, [Olatunji, I. Williams, Dessers, B. Traoré, P. Adu, Kény, Pululu]

So, why do European scouts think that Africans can only play as forwards
or defenders?

Wonderland 7

MF: Baumgartner, Imeri, E. Fernandes
FW: Burgstaller 2 (x2)

Gaels 2
DF  M. Johnston, Bradley, Souttar
MF: Barron, A. Forrest, McGinn (C), Watts 1, Mcgregor
FW: L. Ferguson, McManus, J. Kenny 1, Shankland

Perfect efficiency score for the Gaels too.

Well I should have made Kenny captain, I suppose.

Waffles/Windmills 2
DF: Debast, Dams, Theate
MF: Doku, Tielemans, Vanaken 1, Vermeeren, Engels, Trossard
FW: Openda(c), Bakayoko 1, Mertens

Windmills crushed the Waffles this time.

Perhaps I should enter both separately.

Wonderland 2
DF: Akanji, Posch, Trauner
MF: Xhaka, Steffen, Wanner, Seidl, Schaub
FW: Ndoye, Embolo (c), Duah, Burgstaller 2

Burgstaller saves the day.

Waffles/Windmills 12
DF: Flamingo, Kasius
MF: Reijnders, Vanaken, Taylor, Fitz-Jim, [Smit, Stroeykens]
FW: Bakayoko (x2), Gakpo, Malen, Rots, Lammers, [Godts, Brobbey, Daal]

Waffles only best lineup: 5
DF:
MF: Vanaken, Stroeykens
FW: Bakayoko (x2), Godts

Ok, I learned about some new Belgian players. That is something, I guess.

Here my data looks a bit different - I got Jagiellonia's Kristoffer
Hansen as a midfielder, and Søren Rieks, too, while Víkingur's Karl Friðleifur Gunnarsson is a defender, which should make room in the
line-up for his teammate Nikolaj Hansen.

On the other hand, Deniz Hümmet used to play for the Turkish U-21, so he shouldn't count against Viking efficiency.

Yes, you are right on all counts. Must have been the early morning hour
that made me mess up things. The Vikings' efficiency score takes a minor
hit.

+ Nice's Jérémie Boga (also FW), who's an Ivorian international.

Correct here too, but no impact on the Wakas' score

A pattern?

Armata Brancaleone no more?

(Now I'll have to go and wash myself for pinning my hopes on a Milan
player...)
