I’m pretty sure Diaz actually has a worse conversion rate than Nunez, he’s also massively wasteful. But his shots are more likely to actually be on target and that’s slightly less infuriating than what Nunez does.
Yeah Nunez seems to miss the more gilt-edged close-range chances.
Their conversion rate is skewed as well because of the type of shots they'll both take, as well. A mitigating factor so to speak.
Diaz' shot conversion rate this season is 12.90%
Nunez' is 12.79%.

It would be great to see Leverkusen actually go unbeaten the whole season. But I think I want Atalanta to win the competition, they’re a very likeable club and approach football in a great way. Would be a really good success story, plus it’ll guarentee them Champions League footy next season.
Gasperini is an underrated coach.

Insane from Leverkusen. They just won't lose

Isn’t he too old for YPOTS? What is the age limit anyway? Is it 21?
23 or younger at start of the season.

I don't agree with Virgil being on the player of the season shortlist tbh... but I also think it's mental Harvey Elliott hasn't even been shortlisted for the YPOTS considering the season he's had.
Of the 8 players selected, who would you take out?

Game 131 was one of the most profitable of the season, as a 20th-minute First Goal paved the way for eight winners:
@Toinho gets 2 points for 21st minute, @Faithcore 1 point for 22nd minute plus all of the below:

Game 132 had a 68th minute first goal, and second-half ones are always harder to guess for; sadly no winners.
Table after Game 132
The duel between @6666 and @Devil-Dick Willie continues as they cancel each other out. @Redcanuck and @Toinho both improve their rankings. @Michael & @Faithcore join others on 15 points, while @Tommy reaches double-figures for the season.

A very close game-week to contend with as all scores were between the 12-17 point mark. The highest came from @Bluewolf, and he was the only player to get 2 Perfect Scores.
Next best was @Redcanuck who gained two points on @6666, who in turn equalled the score set by the leader @Rajabhat Rovers. And it looks like it'll take something miraculous to displace 1st place with only two weeks to go.
Four players matched each other with 14 points.

What's yours?
Raya
White - Saliba - Gabriel - Doughty
Rodri - Rice
Saka - Foden - Palmer
Haaland
Could arguably choose Watkins over Haaland for this one, and difficult to squeeze in two strikers with how good and dominant midfielders are in general, let alone the 5 chosen.
A non big-six version:
Martinez
Cash - Branthwaite - Schar - Doughty
Douglas Luiz
Neto - Bowen - Gordon
Watkins - Solanke
Hard to pick a RB & RW that's been very consistent. Perhaps Mitchell for RB and Sarabia for RW? These two strikers pick themselves given their goal returns. Gordon has been quality for Newcastle. Could arguably choose Pickford over Martinez too.

Atalanta v Marseille is a tough one to call, but given that Atalanta are playing this leg at home, I think they have the advantage and are probably the more likely side to make the final.
I think it'll be another draw and go to penalties.
Leverkusen in the final to win it.

Big week ahead, the added incentive is finishing ahead of man united which will be a minor landmark.
I read somewhere that if you take form from mid November chelsea would be second, I cant believe that but if true it may be the start of 1BN starting to repay itself, Mudryk is still crap though.
Mid-Nov is just after matchday 12:
