| MATCH WEEK 11: TWO TROPHIES IN THREE WEEKS FOR CATS |
| Match Week 11's Team of the Week is Legend of the Black Cats - just as it was only 2 weeks back on MW9. That time Frodo Willingham did it with a Subs Joker - this time, no Joker required. A 90 point total for Frodo's boys was inspired by Daichi Kamada with 26 points, the Crystal Palace man sent off. Georginio Rutter bagged 12 as next best, and consistency throughout the 11 helped the Cats to the trophy - however, Mark Flekken (7) in goal instead of David Raya (2) would have gained an extra 5 points, and Frodo's captain choice Dara O'Shea doubled up just 3 points. |
| FANDANGO HOLD ON |
| For a while there it looked like we could well have a new overall leader for the first time since Match Week 3. Going into Sunday, Mr Magoo were 12 points clear of Clem Fandango, both had their captains to play, amongst others, and both will have been fairly confident with Ipswich keeper Arijanet Muric for Magoo and Leicester defender Wout Faes for Fandango. The captain battle was won hands(feet?)-down by Faes with 9 points to Muric's 3, while Matt Woodmansey's Clem picked up 22 more points from Leicester boys, Vestergaard and Buonanotte with 11 each, and could just about afford a -4 from Sammie Smodicz. Jonathan Andrews' boys are 3 points closer, but Matt stays top by 6 points. |
| ROUND THE LEAGUES |
Our overall top two are both in the Nightmare Soccer Premier League so the top two gap is just 6 points there. In a Division where the top two and bottom two are non-movers, the rest all jiggle about. Colette Anthony moves out of the relegation zone at the expense of Keeley Fyne. Colette is second best for the week with 81, Keeley the worst with 33. My own Relegation Terrorists remain bottom, 2 points closer to 8th but 120 away from avoiding the drop.
In our Championship Alex Metzger has gradually opened up a 43 point gap in a division where the top three were within a few points of each other. Alex outscores both his rivals this week, while David Metzger is up to 2nd with a decent 63 compared to a poor 32 from Richard Hancy. And watch out, form team Legend of the Black Cat are up to 4th and within 7 points of 3rd place Richard. At the foot, Cameron Patrick slips into the relegation zone as Robert Davies climbs out.
League One sees no positional changes at all this week, with a return to form of sorts for John-Paul Meredith - so recently Matt Woodmansey's prime challenger in the overall league - seeing him pull 32 points clear at the top. 3rd place David Smith is in serious danger of losing his promotion spot - scoring 41 less than Andrew White in 4th, who is now just 3 points behind.
Change at the top again in League Two as the ding-dong battle for top spot between Ewan Ritchie and Howard Thomas continues. It's Ewan's turn to lead the way this week, his 87 points being the second best anywhere this week. Like the week's top scorers, Ewan's Norfolk N Chance were inspired by Daichi Kamada (26) - who will of course serve a suspension now. If Kamada were unavailable for Norfolk this week, his place in the 11 would have been taken by Erling Haaland...
All happening at the bottom in League Two - apart from last place. Benjamin Williamson stays there, while his companions in the relegation zone both change. Down come James Willingham and Liam Oliver, with Bob Thomas and Steve Phillips moving out of the drop zone. |
