A mixed week for most of you, the highs and lows of being a football manager, Roundup to follow...

Great result for Emelec in their title challenge , Chelsea although with changes i expected better than that or did the manager take Everton to lightly

Argentina

Argentinos 48 +37
River Plate 43 +32
Independente 43 +27
Estudiantes 36 +9 Champions

The leaders remain unbeaten in what was a good week for their title aspirations...

Strong set of results this week, pretty pleased.

PEP experiment falters for the first time, but I was never convinced playing it away from home against good sides.  Will be interested to see how the game played out.  A draw at Old Trafford however, is never to be sniffed at.

Belgium

Genk 54 +57
Liege 45 +48
Anderlecht 43 +44
Mechelen 43 +33

Only twelve points left to play for as Genk stride towards yet another title...

Brazil

Santos 40 +22
Fluminense 39 +28
Botafogo 36 +29 Champions
Vasco 36 +18

Rodrygo and Gabigol firing on all cylinders are keeping Santos top but its still mightily close and nobody can afford another slipup, Santos away at Vasco in week 20 will be crucial although Fluminense have a much tougher runin having to play Sao Paulo, Botafogo and Vasco, as do the current Champions Botafogo who play Flu and Sao Paulo, a lot can still happen that's for sure...

Eire

Derry 46 +39
Cherry 40 +33 Champions
Shamrock 40 +16
Cork 33 +20

Derry look set for their first ever title win if they can safely navigate three away games...

They say it's the Hope that kills you... Botafogo have gone all season with hope they could make up for a poor start. 

H - Corinthians
A - Fluminese 
H - Sao Paulo
A - Palmerias 

The final 4 games.. Is there still hope?

Ecuador

ElNacional 49 +36
Emelec 46 +46
Fuerza 44 +31
Barselona 41 +28 Champions

Emelec's next three games are all away from home with games against rivals ElNacional and the return with Barselona, it will be close but the leaders will be hoping to take a six point lead from their home game with Emelec next week...

Fascinating run-in thats for sure. Tough games to come, pleased to have 3 out of 4 at home so you never know....

Already messaged Rob and Argentinos Junior's manager to congratulate them on their wins - bizarre end to Atletico's push - a 0-0 draw...

Will be back next season...

Premiership

Watford 39 +24 Champions
Charlton 34 +12
Arsenal 34 +6
Chelsea 33 +11

The much sought after Marcus Rashford condemned his old club to their first home defeat of the season which resulted in their lead being shortened to four five points, but luckily for the Champions neither Chelsea nor Charlton could take full advantage...

Title challenge was over weeks ago, mass restructuring took place and now the rebuilding has started for hopefully a better challenge next season. Positive signs so far but early days.

Championship

Birmingham 42 +16
Wednesday 30 -2
Spurs 28 +4
------
Newcastle 28 +3
Burnley 27 +2
Banstead 27 +0
Wolves 26 +7
Leicester 24 -2

Birmingham are promoted with four games to spare and Newcastle win a vital game as they move equal on points with third placed Tottenham, but it's still incredibly close...

France

Nantes 51 +59 Champions
Marseille 44 +33
Monaco 42 +8
Paris 36 +18

This week's demolition of Monaco sets the Champions up nicely for the title...

Germany

Schalke 48 +37 NEW CHAMPIONS
Bayern 33 +10 Outgoing Champions
Stuttgart 32 +6
Gladbach 28 +2

Schalke are crowned the Bundesliga Champions following yet another away defeat for the outgoing Champions Bayern Munich, but no goal for Harry Kane on his debut and they did look a bit suspect infront of goal with no Dybala to poach for them, next up for Schalke is the cup semi-finals...

Iceland

Akranes 52 +59
Valur 43 +31
Vikingur 41 +30 Champions
Reykjavik 41 +27

Impressive performance this week from the leaders means they are almost home...

Holland

Ajax 48 +45
Twente 45 +36
Rotterdam 42 +29
PSV 41 +42

A fine performance this week from Ajax, with Dolberg slipping seamlessly into the gap left by the departure of Ziyech to Chelsea last week, sees them three points ahead of hugely improved Twente who must win week 20s home game against Ajax to stand any chance of overtaking the leaders, and a few more goals wouldn't hurt either...

Italy

AC Milan 42 +26
Juventus 41 +28
Inter Milan 41 +19
Lazio 36 +24 Champions

A vital win for Milan against Juventus this week catapults them to the top of the table, they will be hoping to repeat the victory in week 21 at Juve's ground...

Scotland

Celtic 38 +20
Hibs 36 +11
Aberdeen 36 +8 Champions
Motherwell 34 +11

Victory at Motherwell keeps Celtic top after what was a hard fought game whilst Aberdeen kept their hopes alive by going six games unbeaten. Hibs could go top next week if they can win at Celtic Park...
