Official Match Thread Season 26, Round 14: Sin City Swamprats vs Gumbies FFC at Underground Stadium

[PhenomenalV1]

It's Video Game Round! With PAX Aus this weekend, what better way for the SFA to join in than with a themed week?

C'mon, Cloud_ said I could do this...


It's a grudge match for the ages...

The Swamprats have had an up and down season, but still sit mid-table with just four games to play. Can they luck their way into a second successful finals campaign in a row?

It's been (relatively) smooth sailing down in Gumbania. The Gumbies have eight wins to their name, but sit third on the ladder, and need a few wins to guarantee a home final.

Can the two side make it out alive?



VG Week Mascot Origins

Swamprats: The Rats' mascot is Daroach, the leader of the Squeak Squad from the Kirby series of platforming games. While a relatively obscure character, Daroach somehow has a small but loyal fanbase, and returned to the series not long ago.

Gumbies: The Gumbies mascot is a Mr. Saturn, from the Earthbound/Mother series of role playing games. Mr. Saturns are a species of bizarre claymation alien heads who punctuate their speech with a series of odd noises.



PhenomBet Odds

Swamprats: $2.05
Gumbies: $1.95



Players to Watch

Swamprats

I Dont Care

Leaving greener pastures at the Roys for the grimy underground, I Dont Care has been a constant joker for the Rats. Will he laugh his way through this week's game?

Far Kern

Like a prodigal son returning home, Far Kern has found his way back to Alberton. It's his first game back from hiatus, will he have as big of an impact as he hopes?




Gumbies

BRAB

One of the most outspoken posters in the league, BRAB's coming off the announcement that he's staying at the Gumbies. Will this bolster his already top level form?

Jivlain

A star rookie for the Gumbies, Jivlain has proven himself to be one of their more active posters. Is he going to kick the Gumbies to victory?



Phenom's tip: I'm thinking that it might be a draw...


Captains, please post your official teamsheet by 11:59pm AEDT Thursday.

Time to win a home game, or burn the Underground to the...um...ground

That is the correct approach to take with honeydew, yes. It's literally the worst part of everything it's in. It's like the Jared Leto of fruits!

You're delisted.

 

[Firestarter]

I have a bad feeling about this.
