Round 4 of the NMA Blog Cup took place in GW-30, and as in real-life, there were some upsets. With its lineup confirmed before our deadline, quite a few managers invested heavily in Chelsea players only to be horrified by a 5-2 defeat, especially those who picked goalkeeper Mendy.
The scores among the 32 teams in round 4 varied from 54 to an impressive 143. The award for the most fortunate team of the round, with the lowest winning score, goes to Team 1998jjb who beat Young Lions FA 91.5 : 54. The unluckiest team of the round, with the highest losing score, is Team KenM who lost 136 : 143 to the highest scorers of the round, Peace. I think I noticed an odd post about this somewhere. Elsewhere, the runaway league leaders (and early-season Blog Cup winners) 183168 had their quest for an amazing treble ended with a 119 : 123.5 defeat to Shock The Monkey. Second-placed Team Colecole were also defeated 72 : 110 by Team taquito. The closest match of the round saw Team Chris_Manfredi defeat cincyman by just three points in a 115.5 : 112.5 win.
The last Non-league team, Smokey’s Dogs of War is out, eliminated 89.5 : 129.5 by Team geneeyow. This leaves three League 2 teams as the lowest-ranked teams left in the competition: Peace, Team DevilinRed and Team taquito.
