Last week everybody won in a Lone Ranger first, but it wasn't to the case this week...
That was because of Blackburn who lost for 4 players - daveb, MCM Hoop, qprallan and SydneyR. Former champion SydneyR is knocked out, MCM Hoop is now at risk of elimination again and it means the previous top 2 daveb and qprallan both lose 2 lives and it throws the race for the title wide open!!
Ghost takes over at the top thanks to an Everton win, who also won for myself. Ghost is unbeaten in 12 games which is some effort at this stage of the season and it is a run that has finally taken him to the summit with just 2 games left. The last time Ghost was top was when he was leading going into the final day in 2021/22 before losing so Ghost will be hoping to hold on this time!
woodork - our first ever Lone Ranger champion back in 2019/20 - keeps the pace thanks to a Stoke win, level on lives with Ghost but now in 2nd on goal difference
LurkR keeps clinging on and won again with our own QPR and that leaves Ricardo Rangers who was at risk of being knocked out but won with Liverpool.
With 2 games left and 4 lives to lose anybody still standing could be crowned The Lone Ranger! LurkR and MCM Hoop are the only players who have to avoid defeat next week to make it through to the final day.
I'm just happy to make it to the end of the season, which didn't look likely after round 19. I'll need a bit of luck to keep this run going with the teams I've got left - but we're probably all in the same boat at this stage.
