Who will win the MCFL? What every combination of results on Saturday would mean

The league title could be decided this Saturday.

Clapton will be hosting London Samurai in the big game at the Stray Dog.

At the same time, Stonewall are away at Eastfield. There will be many in Walthamstow with a keen interest in how that one progresses.

Clapton on 36 points still have to play FC Roast. Samurai on 35 still have to play FC Star. Stonewall are on 38 and this is their last game. NW London currently sit second, but their league business is done for the season.

So who will triumph in this three-way title tussle?

The permutations

CLAPTON WIN / STONEWALL LOSE

Clapton are champions. This is our favourite outcome.

CLAPTON WIN / STONEWALL DRAW

Clapton go level with Stonewall at the top, but behind on goal difference (barring a five goal swing). The Tons would only need a point against FC Roast to clinch the title.

CLAPTON WIN / STONEWALL WIN

Clapton can win the league by beating Roast. Anything less and Stonewall are champions.

CLAPTON DRAW / STONEWALL DRAW OR LOSE

A win against Roast and Clapton are champions.

A draw for Clapton vs Roast would give Samurai the chance to top the table with a win against Star. If Samurai failed to win, Stonewall would be champions.

CLAPTON DRAW / STONEWALL WIN

Stonewall are champions.

CLAPTON LOSE / STONEWALL LOSE

Samurai only need a point against Star. However, if they lose and Clapton beat Roast, the Tons come out on top.

CLAPTON LOSE / STONEWALL DRAW

Samurai need a point in their last game against FC Star. If they lose, Stonewall win the league.

CLAPTON LOSE / STONEWALL WIN

Samurai just need to beat Star. Otherwise the league is Stonewall’s.

In summary

Clapton need to beat Samurai to keep it in their own hands. A draw is only useful if Stonewall slip up on Saturday.

If Clapton lose, they would have to pray for a Stonewall defeat at Eastfield and Samurai losing to Star to be in with a chance.
