The Comuniate Macro League is heating up after matchday 12

Champions League: Javi francis restores order among the elite

In the top tier of our Macro League, Javi francis leads the way with 768 points, followed by Michel (734) and David Lafra (730). A 34-point cushion over second place gives the leader some breathing room, though not enough to go on holiday just yet.

Grego (696) and L.ALONSO (690) complete the top five. These are supposed to be the best of the best, so every bad line-up hurts like selling a player just before he scores a brace.

Division of Honour: Joan wants to go up in style

Joan is the standout name in Division of Honour with 838 points, a spectacular total that puts him 49 clear of Turkistan (789). Behind him come Vieito (772), Rubén M.F. (765) and The Sundance Kid (764).

Joan is knocking so hard on the door of the Champions League that one day they may open it just to stop him making a nuisance of himself. That said, there is still a long way to go this season and in Comunio a bad matchday can turn a title contender into an expert in making excuses.

First Division: Macri is playing in a different league

If there is one standout name in this Macro League, it is Macri, who leads First Division with 850 points and boasts the highest cumulative total of any manager in the competition.

Behind him is Pepe Muñoz with 822 points, and he is hardly short of points either. NNieto (795), Juan Carlinhos (776) and Fumatinaikos (774) complete the top five.

Macri's form is starting to look worrying. While some of us celebrate reaching 50 points in a matchday, he has 850 and looks as if he is playing with players the rest of us still have not unlocked.

Second Division: Bamboleo FC does not want to be in the second tier

Bamboleo FC leads Second Division with 800 points, followed by Nacho Pueyo (788), Tavanes (772), Enric (772) and Alex Sotelo (765).

But the truly spectacular thing about Bamboleo FC is that it also holds the single-matchday scoring record: 107 points in J11.

107 points! Some teams need three matchdays and a divine intervention to reach that total. That was not a line-up, it was a declaration of war on the rest of the field.

The other records: millions, points and the odd attack of envy

The Macro League also gives us other names that deserve their moment in the spotlight.

Moismart boasts the most valuable squad in the competition, worth 90.1 million euros. We do not know whether he will win his group, but he can certainly claim to have more assets than a few Primera clubs.

Meanwhile, -Macri59- was the best manager in matchday 12 with 97 points. A score like that makes you check the standings several times, just in case they have made a mistake adding it up.

There is still plenty to play for

With 51 groups and 608 managers, the Comuniate Macro League promises plenty of excitement over the coming months. The battle for promotion, the top spots and the pride of beating your rivals is more alive than ever.

And for those sitting near the bottom of their groups, a reassuring message: there is still plenty of league left to turn things around.

That said, if after 12 matchdays you are still saying your team has potential but that you have had bad luck, it might be time to change something.

Good luck to all the participants and may the best manager win! Or, as often happens in fantasy, the one with the fewest injuries when football returns.
