Derek Walker

Derek, three entries within two places of you hold nine of your ten: Ben DeJarnette at 24th, and Collin Smith and Mark Barenbaum at a shared 25th, all on the same Bayern-plus-nine-cheap-clubs shape. You sit 23rd on 66.6 projected bonus points, and Lens at $5 is the club that separates you from the pair below. No free clubs and no second big spend; Opta's 18.7% for Bayern does the heavy work.

Tuesday's Club Brugge against Aston Villa was yours on both sides, with a Villa result the rarer one, and Porto against Manchester City had you among 126 entries holding Porto without City. Thursday, Bayern host Bodo/Glimt and you hold both, so a Bodo point separates you from the 61 holding Bayern alone; Lens visit Slavia with you one of 36 holding Lens without the Czechs.
