It's taken this long but we have daylight at the top! Maverick puts in a player of the round performance and goes clear. I can't even hang on to his coattails as Mazza lands a bonus to move into second, and Shee also gets a bonus to move to level with me, rounding out the top four. Not many points in the round because of the number of draws, and as such, it was probably better to go for the right number of cards for the bonus than picking up the points for individual fixtures.

The Cook	27	3	30	30
Oliver	2	3	5	5

Great round for Shee, who gets player of the round and picks up a preseason bonus for the number of goals scored by Timo Werner by Halloween. Bear is the other player to get that bonus, though it bailed him out more than put him over the top (largely because he didn't actually enter a prediction for the first three fixtures - an interesting strategy, though we know Bear likes to save his best work for after Christmas)
