Fall Season - Week Eight - November 8th

Arif Khan and the I-Slam Media Crew try to make sense of all the madness that went down at the Trade Deadline, have a listen here.
There is only  three games left all against teams within your division. These are teams you are chasing in the standings. These are the three hardest games of the regular season as we teams look to clinch their spot for the playoffs.

Lost three straight games in a row. They can end Taqwa’s dreams of making the playoffs with either a tie or a win.
It is all or nothing now! Taqwa was very active at the trade-deadline trying to shake things up. Taqwa must win this game to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Looking to build off last week’s dominant performance and head in to their must win game against Ihsan even in points and with some momentum.
They are the new kings of the Medina division and are enjoying the views from the top!

Context
Ihsan hold on to the last playoff spot in the Medina Division. They are hoping to get at least one point so they can have some buffer between themselves and Ridha before next week’s big showdown
Sabr has been trending downwards with the most recent example of being thoroughly outplayed by Haya last week. A few veterans showed up late for their game last week suggesting maybe Sabr is becoming too complacent. They are no longer on top of the Medina Division and need to win this game to get their “mojo” back. 

11:00 PM Emaan (3-3-1) vs Haya (5-0-2)

Context
With Taqwa making big moves at the trade-deadline it is in Emaan’s best interest to clinch a playoff spot sooner rather than later. 
Coming off an impressive victory over Sabr last week Haya looks to continue their winning ways against a vastly different Emaan team from Week 1.
