⚽ Gameweek 30 Review
The headline from GW30 is impossible to look past:
MANLYCHESTHAIR UTD delivered a sensational
Silver Gameweek with a perfect 6/6 on the 50-point questions for 302 points.
That is brilliant on its own — but what makes it even better is that this is now their
second Silver Gameweek in the last four weeks, after also landing one back in Gameweek 27.
That is serious form and the kind of run that turns heads across the whole site.
Behind that monster score, the next best returns were all clustered around the low 200s.
2INAROW, SKY BLUE BLUES, and
ARCTICUS all posted 202 with 4/6,
while AN A CORSE CELTIC 🤟🤤 and BLASTERS FC
came in just a point back on 201. In most Gameweeks that is the sort of score that keeps you right in the mix —
but this week, MANLYCHESTHAIR UTD had simply disappeared over the horizon.
The middle of the table had that classic “solid but unspectacular” feel.
THE DELGANY SHARKS and SWEEPERVISION both landed on 152,
while a big block of teams including TEAM NAME TAKEN, DE LIGT MY BALLS,
I PREDICT DEEZ TINGS, ALLISON WONDERLAND,
RATHFARNHAM RATS, FREE ESTATE KENMARE,
SEVILLA EURO KING, MAXIE PADS and
DYNAMO CHICKEN KIEV all sat around the 151 mark.
Plenty of decent cards there, but no one else had the clean sweep needed to go and win the week.
Lower down, it was tougher going.
TK PREDICTIONS and BANDWAGONESQUE had to settle for 150,
while MOORE-4-2, LEAVE MY ARSELONA,
H-N HAM FIGHTERS and FC LIVERPOOL all came away with 101.
The roughest card of the lot belonged to CTRL ALT DE LIGT, who finished on just 50.

Predicted It Cup – Quarter-Finals Completed
The quarter-finals are done, and the Cup has already delivered exactly what it was supposed to:
drama, momentum swings, and one or two ties that flipped completely from the first leg to the second.
Here’s the compact view of how each quarter-final played out.
SKY BLUE BLUES vs CTRL ALT DE LIGT
Leg 1: SKY BLUE BLUES 0 – 150 CTRL ALT DE LIGT
Leg 2: SKY BLUE BLUES 202 – 50 CTRL ALT DE LIGT
Overall: SKY BLUE BLUES 202 – 200 CTRL ALT DE LIGT
Winner: SKY BLUE BLUES
This was one of the best comebacks of the season. CTRL ALT DE LIGT looked in full control after a 150-point first leg,
but SKY BLUE BLUES absolutely ripped the script up in Leg 2. Winning the second leg 202–50 to nick the tie by just two points is pure knockout football.
THE DELGANY SHARKS vs THE MIGHTY DUCK
Leg 1: THE DELGANY SHARKS 200 – 0 THE MIGHTY DUCK
Leg 2: THE DELGANY SHARKS 152 – 0 THE MIGHTY DUCK
Overall: THE DELGANY SHARKS 352 – 0 THE MIGHTY DUCK
Winner: THE DELGANY SHARKS
This one never really became a contest. THE DELGANY SHARKS landed the big first-leg punch and then followed it up with another clean win in Leg 2.
Over two legs, a 352–0 scoreline is domination, plain and simple.
MOORE-4-2 vs ARCTICUS
Leg 1: MOORE-4-2 150 – 150 ARCTICUS
Leg 2: MOORE-4-2 101 – 202 ARCTICUS
Overall: MOORE-4-2 251 – 352 ARCTICUS
Winner: ARCTICUS
A dead-even first leg set this up beautifully, and then ARCTICUS took over in the second.
Winning Leg 2 by 101 points turned a balanced tie into a very comfortable overall victory.
That’s the kind of second-leg authority that makes other teams take notice.
BANDWAGONESQUE vs LEAVE MY ARSELONA
Leg 1: BANDWAGONESQUE 100 – 150 LEAVE MY ARSELONA
Leg 2: BANDWAGONESQUE 150 – 101 LEAVE MY ARSELONA
Overall: BANDWAGONESQUE 250 – 251 LEAVE MY ARSELONA
Winner: LEAVE MY ARSELONA
This was a proper Cup tie. BANDWAGONESQUE fought back hard in Leg 2 and nearly turned it around,
but LEAVE MY ARSELONA did just enough across the two weeks to survive by a single point.
251–250 is the definition of squeaking through.
The draw for the Predicted It Cup Semi-Final will be made on Friday
and included in the final reminder email ahead of Gameweek 31.

Season Gauntlet – The Next Shake-Up Could Be Massive
H-N HAM FIGHTERS remain top of the Season Gauntlet on 8,003,
and that’s enough for first place for now — but the margins behind them are still the real story.
DE LIGT MY BALLS are second on 7,849, just 154 back,
while ARCTICUS are third on 7,701.
The gap is there, but it is nowhere near safe.
Behind them, the top end is still packed with danger:
THE DELGANY SHARKS are fourth on 7,583,
CUNHA BELEBA!? fifth on 7,394,
AN A CORSE CELTIC 🤟🤤 sixth on 7,372, and
MOORE-4-2 seventh on 7,302.
It still feels like one hot stretch could launch any of them right into the title fight.
The top ten rounds out with SEVILLA EURO KING on 7,277,
RATHFARNHAM RATS on 7,248,
and 2INAROW in tenth on 7,121,
just ahead of LEAVE MY ARSELONA on 7,051.
There is still enough depth there for the order to keep changing over the next few weeks.
The biggest thing to keep in mind now is that we are getting very, very close to some 200-point questions being answered.
When those land, the Season Gauntlet standings could take a serious shake-up in the next few Gameweeks.
These are exactly the moments that turn “steady season” into “sudden charge”, so nobody around the top can relax.
