| MATCH WEEK 30: JOKERS PROPEL MAGOO, MUPPETS RUE SPURS CHOICES |
Jonathan Andrews becomes the first manager to win four Team of the Week trophies this season with Mr Magoo. Jonathan doubled up with Captain and Subs Jokers for 92 points. Not a massive Subs Joker, 7 points gained. Ethan Ampadu conceded the penalty that led to Leeds' loss to Sunderland, picking up 15 points so he took Magoo's armband for 30. Matt Woodmansey is on the leaderboard in 5th with 66 points, while the chasing pack are - well, not chasing. Dreadful Match Weeks for the teams in 3rd to 5th now leaves us with a 125 point gap between 2nd and 3rd. One or more of those chasers needs a very big couple of Match Weeks pretty soon or we're into a two-horse race.
Richard Hancy's been adopting the tactic of focussing on a particular team or two for a while, to mixed success. Recently The Muppets have loaded up on Tottenham players with no less than eight in their Nightmare Squad. Six Spurs boys in Richard's starting 11 this week picked up 31 points between them - but, Muppets left out the Match Week's star man Micky Van de Ven whose double-whammy, penalty conceded and red card, saw him score a massive 27. Danso (7) was also left out. |
| ROUND THE LEAGUES |
No changes in the Nightmare Premier League, with the big two pulling away. Eloise Willingham in 5th had a reasonable week with 48 and, with Colette Anthony (16) and Alex Metzger (20) having terrible weeks, Eloise has her eye on 3rd.
Chris Bounds is still top of the Nightmare Championship where 2nd and 3rd swap places for the third week in a row. Liam Oliver is back 2nd and a 65 point week is 37 more than Chris managed. The gap at the top is down to 48. Surely only a matter of time before Bounds is de-throned. Only 26 points separate 2nd from 5th, while John-Paul Meredith in 6th is this week's top scorer. This division could easily still be won by any one of at least six teams.
In Nightmare League One, Patrick Reilly takes 9 points off Andrew White's lead at the top, the gap now 51. Andrew left out his top performer Nikola Milenkovic (11) and has 'lost' a fair amount of points over the last few weeks through leaving out the Forest man. And look at this - team of the week in League One is the worst team in the entire competition, Tony Moore's Only Connect. Tony remains bottom here and overall but is now just 8 points behind Rosalie Pearson. In fact, had Tony selected Martinez in goal for 15 points ahead of Lammens (7) they'd be dead level. It's a tight division and Only Connect could yet escape the bottom three - only 64 between Tony and James Willingham in 8th. |
