This season is the closest in Premier League history. With four weeks to go till finals only DAISY can’t make the finals so this predictive post will have more mistakes than my year nine maths homework.
1. Wild HORNY Berry 48 (The Willies, REBCats, Ecky’s Fevolas, Inner Sanctum)
Reckon the HORNY one might keep the power dry in the last month and that could make him vulnerable to some of the up-and-coming teams. Don’t reckon my mob and Ecky are in that number and with the extra win on board they should finish top on percentage.
2. Roosters 44 (Summer of George, Mediocre at Best, The Willies, REBCats)
The chooks are not in good form but if they can get over George I think he wins three and falls short of HORNY on percentage. Mediocre a tough late season matchup. I reckon their percentage will cost them the minor premiership but the vital double chance is all but assured.
3. Captain Who? 42 (DAISYSDUDS, PunknChump, Poon Army, Sharks)
The Captain appears to have claimed the third spot that no one wanted. Reckon Punky and Poon might be a handful for the Captain but he should win the other two and make the top four with a match up against the Chooks in the first week.
4. Poon Army 40 (PunknChump, Inner Sanctum, Captain Who, Jobby the Goat)
Hammo has secured himself a vital one game buffer ahead of the bottom half of the eight and has been playing well in recent week. Consistent form is difficult to achieve in this league, so I reckon Poon might have a couple of bumpy weeks but finish strongly against Jobby and the Captain and hold on to the double chance.
5. Summer of George 36 (Roosters, Hondo 9798s, DAISYSDUDS, PunknChump)
Summer of George appeared to be a lock for top four but some inconsistent form sees them slip to 5th. Like Hammo, a nervous couple of weeks before back to back wins sees George through to an Elim final match up against the goat.
6. Jobby the Goat 36 (REBCats, Ecky’s Fevolas, Inner Sanctum, Poon Army)
Jobby has a nice little buffer on the chasing pack and they need it as the are the lowest scoring team in the top eight which makes them vulnerable. It’s a massive match against REBCats this week because each game gets harder from then on in. That percentage is a worry as well but he think he may just hang on.
7. Ecky’s Fevolas 34 (Inner Sanctum, Jobby the goat, Wild HORNY Berry, TEAM_FISH)
Fev is vulnerable as well and I really only like him against FISH but Ecky will be looking at the Jobby match up as a winnable one. The Fevs aren’t having their best season and I can tell because normally he flogs me and I got him this year and you can’t go around losing to the REBCats and expect to make finals.
8. Hondo 9798s 32 (Sharks, Summer of George, Mediocre at Best, The Willies)
A high scoring team that hasn’t been winning matches this season, 50-50 seems Hondo’s lot. If he continues with that he gets 10 wins which should do the trick. Hondo at his best beats anyone but at his worse the reverse is also true. This is why I can confidently pencil him for two wins…which two that’s the thing.
9. REBCats 28 (Jobby the Goat, Wild HORNY Berry, TEAM_FISH, Roosters)
Going better than usual so I reckon I can get Jobby and avenge an earlier loss to FISH. Need to beat Roosters to make the eight but I reckon I fall short there. The REBCats lost by 1 point to the Roosters before so I need the Chooks to spud it up but my shocking Sweet ruck experiment added to my plethora of injured rookie backs means I’m on the back foot and will probably be missing come finals time.
10. The Willies 28 (Wild HORNY Berry, TEAM_FISH, Roosters, Hondo 9798s)
Reckon the Willies keep their season alive, go to sleep and then win when it’s all too late to just miss out. The Willies have come good in recent weeks and have made a good fist of their first season in premier but like Hondo above, two out of four but again which two. Needs three and won’t get them I feel.
11. Inner Sanctum 28 (Ecky’s Fevola’s, Poon Army, Jobby the goat, Wild HORNY Berry)
My bogey side Sanctum could be about to upset the Premier League apple cart and clean up four existing top eight teams and qualify for the finals. Surely this bloke doesn’t only play well against me. Sanctum won’t catch George’s percentage so he should finish 6th.
12. Sharks 28 (Hondo 9798s, DAISYSDUDS, PunknChump, Roosters)
Can’t see the Golden Greek upsetting Hondo but should keep his season alive against Daisy. Then that’s it for him. Usually when I write Spiro off though he totally smashes it so I haven’t done Hondo any favours here. I’m kind of hoping Spiro does me a solid there.
13. Mediocre at Best 24 (TEAM_FISH, Roosters, Hondo 9798s, DAISYSDUDS)
I expect Mediocre’ s meteoric late season run to continue, win the early elim against FISH, clean up the top eight teams, only to get rolled by DAISY in the last round and miss out. It’s been that sort of season for him. If he were to win all four and make the finals it would rate as a bigger escape than his last premiership as he’s given up a mighty start this season.
14. TEAM_FISH 24 (Mediocre at Best, The Willies, REBCats, Ecky’s Fevolas)
You’ve gotta hand it to FISHY, he’s hanging in there. But he gets a tough match up with Mediocre this week which could seal his fate. A surprise win against Willies to open the door a bit only for two mid-table sides to close it on him just as fast. Nope.
15. PunknChump 24 (Poon Army, Captain Who?, Sharks, Summer of George)
Punky doesn’t deserve to be second last and I reckon they will prove that over the next few weeks. Like many teams chasing wins, they will get close but fall at the final hurdle against George.

Poon Army could be five weeks away from his greatest Hogg triumph as he seeks out the Premier League/Piglet Shield double. Poony has been in good form in recent weeks and appears to have wrapped up the double chance after beating top four rival the Captain for the second time this season. HORNY and Roosters are still the teams to beat but on the eve of the war both are only just going and Hambone will be thinking they are highly gettable. If Poon wins the title this year it will be their first Premier League title since they took out the inaugural comp all the way back in 2007.
For the last double chance spot it will be the Captain or Ecky but FISH has reported that Ecky is screwed this week so the Captain looks safe. The battle for the eight took a turn when Hondo all but ended Mediocre’s quest to perform an even greater miracle than the comeback of 2022. Mediocre can still make it but his fate is out of his hands. Mediocre needs to build percentage against DAISY who scored the highest score of the round last week. He also needs a narrow win by The Willies over Hondo but I think Willies will win and win well and take that last spot in the eight. Sharks can’t be counted out but I think the Captain will get the better of Spiro and send him home. Mediocre in with a slight chance but the other teams on eight wins won’t have the percentage. Seeing as there is no relegation the battle is on to avoid the spoon. DAISYSDUDS appear to have a mortgage on the unwanted implement but REBCats are making a strong case for 16th if it happens, while DAISY gets last if it doesn’t ha ha. DAISY has a tough match against Mediocre while the REBCats have a walk in the park against Roosters. You’re going down my friend!
