| MATCH WEEK 5: NEW OVERALL LEADER |
Another crazy Match Week. Just as Hull boys that a lot of us invested heavily in at the beginning of the season start to get decent scores - conceding two for the second week in a row - Coventry pick up their first clean sheet. Everton, Palace, Leeds and Brighton also conceding zero made for plenty of painful minus scores amongst our back lines.
Frodo Willingham became our first to hold on to top spot in the Overall League last week, but Frodo's two-week run is ended as League Two leader Simon Gardner takes over. A score of 65 points was just enough to get Simon on the weekly leaderboard in 5th. Captain Robin Roefs did much of the work with 15 points doubled to 30 as Sunderland conceded five. |
| CATS + SEAGULLS NOTCH TROPHY DOUBLE |
| Patrick Reilly is our Manager of the Week, as indeed he was last week. With Patrick's team of Sunderland and Brighton players only, he has wisely leaned heavily on Black Cats to great effect for 210 points in two Match Weeks. Patrick picked the perfect captain in Kevin Danso (21 = 42) and was rewarded with big scores from Ballard (17), Roefs (15), Meunier (12), Sadiki (9). He did, however, have Brobbey in his starting 11 for -11 points. Black Cats among the Seagulls climb to 2nd overall, just a point off top spot. |
| ROUND THE LEAGUES |
Liam Oliver hangs on to top spot to make it five weeks from five in front. 21 points, though, is the third worst in the division and Liam's lead is down from 34 to 3 points. Dasilva (-11), captain Pinnock (-8) and Buendia (-2) did not help Liam's cause, plus he was two men short of a full 11. Jonathan Andrews also got hurt by a Coventry captain, Bobby Thomas (-8) and had a bad week too with 24, slipping from 2nd to 4th. Richard Hancy is second best for the week in the Premier League and up a couple of places to 2nd. Richard also had a Coventry captain although at least it was a midfielder, Jack Rudoni scored 0. The Muppets are 3 off top spot but could easily be clear, their three outfield boys that remained on the bench scoring 29 points. Delap 11, Cash 10, McAtee 8. Top for the week is Alex Metzger, inspired by 23 points for Abdul Fatawu and a great captain pick in Ballard for 34. Alex climbs out of the relegation zone, up three to 6th. Oliver Willingham also moves out of the bottom three, with sister Eloise and David Metzger joining Chris Bounds in the drop zone.
A new leader in the Nightmare Championship where Patrick Reilly's second Manager of the Week trophy sees him take over. While Patrick scored 94 points, outgoing leader Robert Metzger managed just 12, worst for the week. Robert drops to third with Pinnock, De Cuyper, McGinn, Iwobi all in the negatives. Cameron Patrick climbs three to 2nd with Paul Willingham losing his promotion place. Gary Pearson was second only to Patrick this week and climbs three to 6th, out of the relegation zone at the expense of Andrew White. A decent week for Garry Simpson, fourth best in the division, but the Blackhearts remain bottom for now.
No changes in Nightmare League One's top three, so a fourth week top for Frodo Willingham. A decent Subs Joker from Marc Snell in 2nd brought in 28 points, but Bobby Thomas as captain (-8) did some serious damage. No changes in the bottom three, though 8th placed Benjamin Williamson was League One's top scorer this week and is now just a point behind 7th and 2 points off 6th.
Two teams tied at the top of League Two last week. While Simon Gardner scored 65, Howard Thomas' 10 points was the second worst in the entire competition. So Simon is now out in front on his own and suddenly has a healthy 50-point cushion. Andy Teale climbs to 2nd.
The week's worst performance came from Keeley Fyne with just a single point. Euro Fynest had 11 players in action, five of them hit the minus. Brobbey -11, Kelleher -6 as capt, Groß -5, Canvot -3, Haaland -2. |
