Sign Up Now!MacArthur at 8Is there a match tonight?

johor will be a 6 point match for the coefficient. We also play thailand although they look miles ahead. Their league should be an achievable goal thoughGood thing the Bulls got the result otherwise Vietnam would've overtaken us last night and our ACLE spot lost. But Vietnam are ahead of us in the forecast for 2027 and 2028.
On the other hand, the dropoff by China will drastic. If we can outperform them by about 4 points this season then we'll be in the running for that 2nd ACLE playoff spot (4th ranked).

As far as points required this season to pass teams in the future:
We only need 2.1 coefficient points more than China to pass them in 4th spot next season! This means an extra ACLE playoff spot for 27/28. 2.1 coefficient points is equivalent to two ACL2 (Macarthur) wins, or one win and one draw in ACLE (City).
We need 7 coefficient points more than Thailand to pass them in 3rd spot in 27/28. This means an extra ACLE spot and extra playoff spot for 28/29. We're unlikely to catch up that many points in one hit.
There is. The three of us would all be within 2 points of each other, anything can happen.really need this year and next year to not screw anything up. Is there a risk that we pass china and fall behind malaysia?
even thailand look catchable. But we could also bottle it and end up below malaysia and even vietnamWe still have the rest of the round to go but we're looking healthier. With a Macarthur win and Chinese losses it would put us just ahead of China next year. At the moment, we're just behind them.

So what sort of hypothetical but realistic run of results has us overtaking china thus seasonLooking good
If the three Chinese teams don't make the next ACLE stage, they won't receive the extra bonus points. And Macarthur play the only Chinese team in the ACL2 in the final round there, the ball is in their court to keep them out.So what sort of hypothetical but realistic run of results has us overtaking china thus season

Australia a 29% to overtake China according to this. Our battles are the ones to watch.
