Friends in fútbol,

First, how about those Bournemouth alternate kits? Commish is a big fan.

Our 28 Bournemouth backers arguably bagged Matchday 27's best result, as they got 3 points from a bottom half club in the win over Burnley (5 pickers).

Overall, it was our best Matchday yet in the OAD. We AVERAGED 2.64 points per picker. Nearly perfect.

We're down to 2 perfects in the One-and-Done.

Commish loves that @McGoldrick13 and @Chicokid have only had ONE shared pick (M22; Man City over Burnley). But they're both at 21 points through 7 of our 19 matchdays.

Both have picked all 6 of the table's top 6 clubs. So, no matter what happens from here, it's gonna be fascinating to watch how they navigate the league's bottom half going forward.

In our Champions League Bracket pool, there's a BIG tilt tomorrow, as Bayern (picked 158-to-2 over Lazio) needs to overcome a 1-0 loss in the first leg to advance.

Arsenal (picked 150-to-10 over Porto) has the same situation next week - they also dropped the first leg 1-0.

Our three most tightly picked matchups are ALL in the balance - Inter-Atlético (1-0 INT), Barca-Napoli (1-1), and Dortmund-PSV (1-1) - and all have their second leg next week.

LAST MATCHDAY'S RESULTS

What happened, in one paragraph

It was our best week ever. Our top FIVE picks, making up 79% of all picks in Matchday 27, won their matches. In many cases, it was stress-free; though Villa made us sweat through a 3-2 result over Luton. Chelsea (7 picks) drew at Brentford, and Burnley (5 pickers, vs. Bournemouth) was our "biggest" loss.

EPL "All 20" One-and-Done

• Weekly performance: 2.64 points per pick. Again, this was our best-ever performance.
• Winning picks: 135 of us bagged 3 points (86%), which is 17 more winning picks than our previous best (M22).
• Overall Leader(s): Two at 21 points. Commish dove into this in the opening section! 
• Best Squad(s): EPL with Nigel (55 points). The lead is just ONE over Happy endings!
