Nicholas Owen

Nicholas, three of you drafted the same ten: you, Collin Smith and Mark Barenbaum, every club, 66 projected bonus points and a share of 25th. Derek Walker holds nine of the ten and sits two places ahead, Lens for Fenerbahce the difference. No free clubs, Bayern on top and nine at $20 or less, the mid-price shelf the room likes and Opta likes too; Villa at 34.5% to reach the quarterfinals is the forecast's favorite of the middle.

Two games are yours on both sides: Tuesday's Club Brugge against Aston Villa, where a Villa result was the rarer one with 87 entries holding Brugge alone, and Thursday's Bayern against Bodo/Glimt, where a Bodo point separates you from the 61 holding Bayern alone. Thursday, Como host RB Leipzig with you among 72 holding Como alone, and Roma visit Fenerbahce with you among 83 holding the Turks alone.
