A high quality final round of the Spanish Open, all players getting into the stride of things by week 3. The lowest score was still a very creditable six points.
BUT… crucially, that lowest score was from our league leader, Guardiola’s Giants. Would that give a chance for someone to steal the title?
The main threat throughout, The David R… well, let’s not beat around the bush, they forgot to predict at this vital last moment! They get a default five points, one below the lowest for the week, and not enough to threaten. Surely the title wasn’t going to be won on this underwhelming note?
No…. because one challenger emerged from the morass. With a whopping 11 points, just enough to pip the Giants on the line – FC Bomhonk are your new Spanish Open champions! The trophy was hoisted aloft on Sunday night – a fittingly European affair as the likes of Bayern Munich, Girona and Tottenham (who on earth did nobody else back Tottenham…) were enough to steal a march on the competition and see Bomhonk hit the top as your Euro Super League matadors.
Elsewhere, credit to newcomers Rock and Iraola – a second-best performing 9 points in their first ever week in the tournament. Very tough, coming in in the final week – a fresh tournament may offer plenty of potential for glory.
And we’re in luck – with the Scottish Open already open for business! Back to our original Predictor format, the classic Football Masters Series game. We’ll do a proper launch of that with our reminder email on Thursday, but predictions are open now.
For now, however, thank you for playing tournament one – well done, one and all!
