Maccabi TA's Eden Shamir breaks the Peaceniks' perfect efficiency score.

Armata the only team still perfect this round. Beards and Midfielders have all the right players, but not the right captain.

Interesting stuff going on in Group C. Leicester and Napoli both losing, could there be more glory here for Aggie in the SophCon?

Bodo/Glimt with a late late goal in Sofia. Agonising wait on the name

Down from 6 on matchday one.

FW: Alcacer (x2)

Down from 12.

Bungs 12
DF: Smalling
MF: Alli, Green, Rice

Up from 9.

Jogo 14
DF: Alex Telles
MF: Firmino 2 (x2), Claudinho, Wendel, Evander, Kady 2
FW: Tiquinho Soares, Arthur Cabral, Galeno 2

Up from just 5.

Midfielders 11
DF: Max, Wittek
MF: Sane, Wirtz
FW: Adeyemi 2 (x2), Gnabry, Voglsammer, Behrens

Up from 7.

Peaceniks 8
DF:
MF: Benrahma
FW: Salah 2 (x2), Taremi, Zahavi, Shamir

Same number of goals as last matchday.
UEFA has Benrahma listed as forward. Yes, that wasn't his position against Rapid.

Tugas 7
DF:
MF: Ricardo Alves Coelho Silva
FW: Rafael Alexandre da Concei|o|uo Le|uo, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (x2), Rafael Alexandre Fernandes Ferreira da Silva, Jos|- Alberto Djal|| Embal||, Gon|oalo Mendes Paci|-ncia, Ricardo Jorge Luz Horta

I thought the rule was no more than five forwards, and no more than five names! 5 goals on matchday one.

Vikings 4
DF:
MF: Gudmundsson, Stage
FW: Wind (x2)

Big decrease from 14 goals last matchday.

Waffles/Windmills 13
DF: Diks
MF: Vanaken, Rits, Thill, Kums
FW: Berghuis, Malen, Promes 2 (x2), Vertessen, Linssen

Diks's goal has been turned into a Red Imps own goal. Can't say I see it, but it is what it is.
12 goals on matchday one as well.

Wonderland 7
DF: Lang 2 (x2)
MF: Steffen
FW: Horvath, Ndoye

Sascha Horvath is a UEFA midfielder.
Up from 6.
I really like that all those teams we chose can be competitive.
Ciao,

Ugh. Fortunately, even with Benrahma as a forward the Peaceniks' lineup was valid, so score remains the same.

Yes, that's right. The Tugas' best lineup should read:
DF:
MF: Ricardo Alves Coelho Silva
FW: Rafael Alexandre da Concei|o|uo Le|uo, Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (x2), Rafael Alexandre Fernandes Ferreira da Silva, Jos|- Alberto Djal|| Embal||, Gon|oalo Mendes Paci|-ncia, [Ricardo Jorge Luz Horta]
But it's still 7 "optimal" goals, so no change in the efficiency scores.

Waffles/Windmills 13
DF: Diks
MF: Vanaken, Rits, Thill, Kums
FW: Berghuis, Malen, Promes 2 (x2), Vertessen, Linssen

Diks's goal has been turned into a Red Imps own goal. Can't say I see it, but it is what it is.

Thanks. I updated the efficiency scores.

12 goals on matchday one as well.

Wonderland 7
DF: Lang 2 (x2)

Sascha Horvath is a UEFA midfielder.

Yes, not sure why I listed him as a forward. Inconsequential, anyway.

I really like that all those teams we chose can be competitive.

Well, maybe not the Armata...

So the MD2 standings are:

Not bad for a joke entry. Good job to keep the bonus points away from
the competition.

Bungs 7 + 5 = 12
Peaceniks 7 + 5 = 12
Armata 3 + 2 = 5
Tugas 3 + 2 = 5
Vikings 3 + 2 = 5

But what's the point of that if the main entry stinks up the place?

Overall standings:

TotGoals TotPoints
Midfielders 11 25
Bungs 11 22
Vikings 9 21

Time to collect some Danegeld.

Finally, the best lineups:

Vikings 4

FW: Wind (x2)

Very slim pickings. And that in week with the Imps!

If you had kept Harry as captain, it would have been the stuff of legends.

Ugh. Chiesa is a forward according to UEFA, so this lineup was not valid. Chiesa's point taken away by VAR.
I'll post the update standings soon.
