Weekend Quiz: Title Races!

By: Laurie | April 18th, 2009

For our weekend quiz this week, I think I’ll build on this post of Daryl’s on the season’s most interesting title races.

All of these players play for clubs that appear to have a chance of challenging for the titles in their domestic leagues.

(And I wasn’t scientific about this. I did not go in to determine exactly how many points Team B would have to pick up vs. who and how many games they have to play. I will leave that to bigger stats geeks than I. All I will say is that your basic, average person looking at the table would say that these players’ clubs might have a shot.)

As always, leave guesses in the comments. Answers tomorrow.

Player 1

Player 2

Player 3

Player 4

Player 5

Player 6

Player 7

Player 8

Player 9

Player 10

Player 11

Player 12
