I think GA is the stat used only if if there is a 3 or more teams tied for the last spot. So if pride beats stars then the GA stat comes into place. MDU will not let up more than 2 to nems. So their GA final should be 33. So can M&D hold FCA and SW to 2 goals each? possible. It will be tight race.

If pride loses to stars, however, then the GA stat is no longer relevant since they would have 3 losses and it would only be a 2 way tie between M&D and MDU and MDU wins based on head to head competition.

Yeah head to head gets thrown out if there's a 3 way tie, so if Pride beats Stars then the determining factor is who has best GA. Seems like Pride ought to beat Stars, but Stars will likely throw everything they've got at them for DMV bragging rights. Ultimately, MDU could hold NEMS to 0 goals so odds are definitely in their favor.
