This was the 50th Group Stage Match Day since the competition started and only 5 of the previous 49 have had a lower top score than
Realale's 26. Not to take anything away from RA in saying that of course, as consistency proved the key to leading the way. That is to say, Realale scored 10/16 with two maxes via Apoel Nicosia 1 Ajax 1 and BATE Borisov 2 Athletic Bilbao 1. Only one player exceeded 10/16 and that was
Minky Joe with 11/16, these were the only two to register double figure correct results.
We have still only ever had one player score points in all 8 matches on one evening in the group stage, but MinkyJoe did become the 54th player to score in 7 out of 8 last night.
Elsewhere,
Sattrega and Party Animal notched up the most maxes, three, with two regulation five pointers and an ubermax apiece.

So after matchday 2 we have a new leader,
Minky Joe ascending a place to take top spot. To illustrate how tough this campaign is proving, Minky's total of 51 is the lowest total required to lead after the first 2 Match Days in the history of the competition. (Last year
tso had 84 points at this stage, and a total of 51 would have only been good enough for 25th place in the overall table).
Minky also comfortably leads the way in having scored in the most matches this season so far with 21 (5 fewer than
Beth's record at this stage last season).

• Chelsea’s win in Lisbon produced the most point collectively of matchday 2, 89.
• It also generated the most maxes, 9.
• The most frequently correctly predicted result was Real’s away win over Ludogorets Razgrad, as all 39 players forecast this.
• Finally, the pinch-your-nose-and-hold-at-arms-length award went to Schalke, as their failure to beat Maribor saw the slenderest of returns, a meagre 4 points.
