We’ve got just one week left of fantasy A-League for the 2013/14 season, but it isn’t over just yet! Week 26 was a trying week for many managers with large amounts of players missing due to injury, international duty or suspension. But, despite all that, there were still 11 goals over the 4 games plus a few red cards to go around, meaning plenty of points were on offer.

Week 25 got us no closer to understanding the makeup of the finals series, with the Wanderers and the Mariners still fighting it out for the premiership, and 5 teams dueling for the 5th and 6th playoff places. For fantasy managers it was a relatively comfortable week for points scoring, with 12 goals offsetting the fact that only one team managed to keep a clean sheet. Compared with the issues fantasy managers will have in week 26, however, week 25 was an absolute cakewalk.

Week 24 saw the emergence of Western Sydney from Central Coast’s shadow, with the new club pulling 5 points clear on top of the table.
