In many ways, the fact that he was taken to extra time and went to such lengths to try and get the victory makes me feel quite happy that he was given such a hard time. If he wants the win that badly, he can have it.
As to the league, I have two games to play. The guy who was leading the league all season drew yesterday (against the team I play today) while I won. He's already played today and won again so he is two points ahead. If I can win both my remaining games I will take the title. With that said, the guy I play today who is sat in 8th in the league has gone all out in improving his team in the last 48 hours. I assume he is trying to break into the top 7 as he has brought in several scouts and power trained. He now has quite clearly the highest Q in the league, so even though the league is in my hands I do feel he will be too strong and beat me today. A draw would put me 1 points behind with both me and the guy in 1st playing easy games tomorrow which I expect us to both win.
I certainly would have taken 2nd at the start of the season, but it does feel a bit of a let down having been dead and buried as far as winning the league goes this time last week, to having it in my own hands with two games to go, to only come up against a team that has vastly improved in the past few days. To make it worse, my first 11 are not fully fit having played the CL game that went to ET earlier, while picking up a few injurys (I won't be using packs as my core goal this season was to not do so and to grow my stockpile)
