*The numbers in the brackets indicate the number of players that have represented each country.*
Last weekโs edition of the practice tournament (nations league) had 11 countries represented. Colombia ๐จ๐ด with 4 players. Followed by Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ with 3 players. Kazakhstan ๐ฐ๐ฟ & the UK ๐ฌ๐ง with 2 players each. Finally Antigua & Barbuda ๐ฆ๐ฌ, Belarus ๐ง๐พ, Bรฉnin ๐ง๐ฏ, Czech Republic ๐จ๐ฟ, Germany ๐ฉ๐ช, Kyrgyzstan ๐ฐ๐ฌ, Nigeria ๐ณ๐ฌ represented by one player each.
This week there were no changes in the nations league ranking order. New players are signing up very slowly. This week saw one new player, ocato representing Benin ๐ง๐ฏ participate for the first time. Players representing countries yet to field a player is proving to be not so forthcoming. The all time number of countries represented remains at 24. Three of the participating players countries are yet to be ascertained.
With 17 editions to go till this seasonโs nations league end, and a 342.5 points lead against Colombiaโs 230.5 points team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ gaining on average 14 points weekly, it is will be a shocker for any team to overtake them. Colombia ๐จ๐ด for instance will have to field 11 players on average for the remaining weeks. These players will have to again on average 3 points each, total 33 to make up the difference and overtake team Uganda ๐บ๐ฌ. Any other countryโs team will have to do much more.
