Sane is going to propel me up the table tonight by scoring a hat-trick with all 3 goals in the 86th minute against Benin. A feat he will also repeat in the semi final and final giving me the overall title!

5 points for the most goals in one game too - currently shared by about 86 players.

A return of the heady days of 2015! 
Iām just waiting for 2019/20 to repeat that feat and show it wasnāt just a flash in the pan.
Iāll make sure I donāt miss a couple of weeks this time.

The semi-finalists are decided ā¦
Senegal
Nigeria
Algeria
Tunisia
Semi-finalists are certain of 3 points, so these points have been added below.
Goal points added for Shrewsbury and NelsonsCounty.
Many teams are also on course for the 5 point highest scoring game bonus (5 goals in a game). 
Algeria are the highest scorers with 10 goals, leading Nigeria (7), Senegal (7) Madagascar (7) and Tunisia (6). 
Gavinās score can only change by golden minutes now, so look out for anything happening in the 49th. Can he be caught?
Good luck!

When are the special bonus points awarded to ensure @chunkster finishes bottom as planned? Right at the end?

Yeah, Iāll fabricate some random new rule which Iāll add on to the original post. Probably something to do with throw-ins.

Looking very much like Gavins to lose now as Belphegorās Nigeria fall to the Algerian juggernaut. Saddla gains another 3 points for getting into the final, but still several points adrift off a realistic challenge. No golden minute points to add.
However, many teams currently sit on a 5 point bonus for having been involved in the most goals per game (currently 5). These are ā¦
Nigeria - Belphegor
Namibia - Chunkster
Ivory Coast - Greg
Kenya - Morty
Tanzania - Welsh
Mali - NelsonsCounty
Mauritania - DHForever
Look out for goals / red cards on 49, 66 and 86 in the 3/4 playoff and final which could yet change things at the top.
Perhaps Saddlaās Senegal could win the final in a 6 goal thriller with a couple of players sent off (3 point bonus for dirtiest team) and a Mane goal on 86 to snatch victory? Having gone through the cricket mayhem, anything seems possible.

Itās over!
Algeria crush the dreams of the various contenders to ensure a Gavin victory.
Gavin is the king of Africa! 
Points added for fair play with 3 points each for the most pedestrian - Zimbabwe, and the team exhibiting the most brutal bastardry in classic homage to psycho Johnny Keister, Benin, the voodoo massive.
No further golden minute points to add, so just the 5 point bonuses for highest scoring games, as Algeria scoop up the overall win and top scorers.

Methinks you need to revise the scoring so itās not a complete borefest lottery next time.
Iāll take my -50 now if thatās ok.
Thanks for organising, by the way! Pleased none of Chunksters four entries got up there in the end.

Except itās a sweepstake, so anything other than āyouāve got the winner, well doneā is a bit of a win. As is anyone taking even a momentary crumb of vague amusement.
If anyone spent more than 30 seconds of their lives pondering the intricacies of the effort, or indeed the result then Iād be amazed. Itās completely free for anyone to formulate a brilliantly engineered set of scoring rules next time.
