= STAR PLAYER POINTS =
An incredible seven players racked up 6+ SPP points this week - and it wasn't always the player you expect...:7 SPP - Brody Venessa (Karak Azgaraz Fanatics)
6 SPP - ★ Krenko King of the Goblins ★, Dakka Grimbasha (both Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns), Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz), ★ Mornrog Groinchewa ★ (Middenland Ironskinz), Gorgrim Webspinna (Badlands Black Feathers), Ivel the Green Javelin (Badlands Brutes)
= CASUALTIES =
For the second consecutive week, just one player managed more than one casualty this week, but it served as small compensation for a narrow defeat:2 casualties - Murg Bloodstomp (Karak Norn Crusherz)
= BLOCKS =
10 blocks per game is now a benchmark rather than worthy of note:13 blocks - Grash Bonechewer (Badlands Black Feathers)
12 blocks - Leg Snapper (Iron Crag Clawz)
11 blocks - Urza Spinechoppa (Drakwald 'Ardboyz), Arm Snapper, Brog Droolmaw (both Averland Bat-Squigs), Groznak Smashmaw Ghazburuk Gilgaroth (both Dragonback Squigs),

The second most prestigious individual award is wide open with several players making a claim for the Golden Glove:2 touchdowns - ★ Krenko King of the Goblins ★ (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns), Ivel the Green Javelin (Badlands Brutes), Gorgrim Webspinna (Badlands Black Feathers), Indestructible (ICC)
= FOULS =
At last! All franchises have committed the most tantalizing strategy with the unbearably honest and sanctimonious Fanatics finally getting in one the action:3 fouls - Miranda Hortalus, Skogg Eargrinda (both Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns), Slugg Bonekrakka (Dragonback Squigs)
= RUSHING YARDS =
Defensive plays are becoming more sophisticated and so the days of players waltzing their way from end zone to end zone may well have come to an end:28 yards - Zagh Slugweava (Estalia Gutrippers)
30 yards - Indestructible (Iron Crag Clawz)
38 yards - Dazlug Mudshredda (Altdorf Bloodhounds)
= PASSING YARDS =

3 yards - Valeria Wargo (Bretonnia Brutes)
6 yards - Thugbo Skulltaker (Karak Norn Crusherz)
= AWARD WINNERS =
Each Gameweek, there will be awards for some notable players and coaches:
With just one gameweek left before the mid-season Trade Window, a full stats update will be released by Blitz 'Dem very soon!
MVP
Home grown super star Indestructible of the Iron Crag Clawz bagged twice against the Piratz, covering 30 yards and making 2 blocks but crucially was involved at every moment in a key win. The Tilean side's unpredictability meant that Indestructible was the man to step up and wrest the game for the hosts.
Coach Axpert murderated the Squigs with no less than 8 players - 50% of his roster - earning SPP in the horribly one-sided game. That ended a run of 4 games without a win. Coach D4bbl3z comes a close second as his Scrappers became the first team to slow the Bloodhounds juggernaut, ending their 6 game winning streak.

| Estalia Gutrippers | 2 | ★ Z. Slugweava ★, T. Bloodfang |
| Badlands Black Feathers | 3 | G. Webspinna (2), ★ Z. Gorblat ★ |
A stunning game with 3 one-turn touchdowns in the final 3 turns! The visitors led at half-time before a dramatic Turn 14 equaliser, then the game ended with a flurry of scores that went in the favour of the hosts.
= IN MEMORIAM =
For every winner, there must be a loser and, to give them their (final) moment in the limelight, we recognise those players who left us this week:
‣ Miranda Hortalus (Mount Gunbad Big 'Uns) - last week's fouling leader got his just desserts as he was stomped out of this mortal plane by the 'Ardboyz Urza Spinechoppa.
‣ Choppa Bullroar (Bretonnian Brutes) - the Black Orc finished his 6th game for the Brutes being carried off the pitch under a blanket.
