| What happened last time - Match Week 1 summary |
| MATCH WEEK 2 |
| Another cracking Match Week. A second clean sheet for Hull, Ipswich conceded 5, Crystal Palace and Brighton 4, Chelsea 3. Jacob Greaves took the player accolade with a huge 31 points, inspired by an own goal, penalty conceded, Nightmare Assist and a yellow card. |
| MIXED BAG ON TOP |
| Andy Teale takes the Manager of the Week trophy with 103 points, 2 more than Match Week 1's best. Bart Verbruggen starred with 22 points, with four other boys in double figures including a decent captain choice of Daichi Kamada (12 doubled to 24) plus Chris Richards (17 with two Assists), Tyrique George (10) and Maxim de Cuyper who almost got back to zero, following up his opening week -12 with 11 points. |
| ROUND THE LEAGUES |
Change at the top in all of our divisions except the Nightmare Premier League where Liam Oliver's 69 is enough to keep LOliver XI at the summit. Don't be fooled though, Liam is likely to need to perform serious Nightmare Squad surgery to keep going well. The LOLs had just eight men in action and seven of them totaled just 7 points between them. Yep you heard that right, 7 from seven. The other, though, was Liam's perfect captain Jacob Greaves with his bumper haul of 31 doubled to 62 points. Reigning Nightmare Soccer Champion Jonathan Andrews is up to 2nd, another former Champion Richard Hancy up to 3rd. Jonathan's principle challenger for the last couple of seasons, though, Matt Woodmansey, is currently in the relegation zone, slipping to 8th this week. A zero point captain and 20 points left on the bench this time round from Matt, while the starting 11 picked up just 29.
New Overall League leader John-Paul Meredith moves top of the Nightmare Championship. Not an amazing week from JP, 62 points equal 6th in the Championship, but enough to take Hextable Hackers ahead of our opening Manager of the Week trophy winner Robert Metzger who slips three places to 4th. Watch out for Nightmare Soccer founder Paul Willingham who means business after two disastrous seasons, relegation from the Prem followed by a 5th placed finish in the Champ. Paul's top scorer in the division this week and up to 2nd.
Nightmare League One's new leader is another Willingham in the shape of Frodo, second best overall for the Match Week and up three places to depose David Smith. David drops to 3rd with Marc Snell moving up to 2nd.
This week's MotW Andy Teale jumps four spots to take over at the top of Nightmare League Two, swapping places with early leader Howard Thomas. Simon Gardner and Steven Halsey stay as they were in 2nd/3rd. Charlotte Halsey has the honour of propping up our leagues, slipping to solo bottom spot having been equal last after MW1.
In the Overall League though, it's League One's bottom team who sit at the foot. Alan Walker's weird mix mostly comprising players that rarely play with a couple of boys thrown in that are usually a bit good for Nightmare Soccer in Gabriel and Calafiori. That said, Alan did buy George Hemmings for Match Week 2 and make him captain for 14 of ACW United's 18 points. I could be wrong but I don't see him getting as many minutes once the transfer window's done... |
