| MATCH WEEK 12 - GRECIANS BEST AGAIN |
The remarkable form of Grecians -2000 continues... 89 points this week makes Grecians our Team of the Week for the third week of the last four. Bob Thomas becomes the second to top the weekly leaderboard three times, Alex Metzger having done so on Weeks 2, 3 and 5. Grecians were inspired once again by their two Man United boys Luke Shaw (11) and Harry Maguire (27). Perhaps it was worth spending £33 million on Maguire after all - he's now the top Nightmare this season, the first to pass the magic century.
Captain James Tarkowski went well, 13 doubled up to 26, while Aubameyang also hit double figures again (10). Bob's two changes this week made little difference in the short term - James Milner was injured, while Dele Alli got just four minutes, and 1 Nightmare point. Bob would actually be a point better off without making changes - the deposed Ilkay Gundogan scored 2. If Grecians are top again next week I'll eat my Nightmare hat - they will have to do it without Maguire and Tarkowski, both suspended. |
| 10 WEEKS TOP FOR EVERTON-INSPIRED ARMY |
| Army's Army make it ten straight weeks at the top of the Overall League Table. Alex Metzger's lead is down from 60 points to 42 though, and it would be a lot closer were it not for Army's Everton contingent. Coming into Sunday, Army's new nearest rivals Mr Magoo were just 8 points behind. As Man City beat Everton 3-0 though, captain Seamus Coleman (22), Jordan Pickford (11) and Alex Iwobi (8) added 41 points, over 70% of Army's weekly total. |
| THE WRONG 'KEEPER |
- Dishi Rishi lost 16 points by handing the gloves to Emiliano Martinez (-3) instead of Kasper Schmeichel (13)
- Cloughies Cloggers chose to stick Jose Sa in goal (-3) ahead of Karl Darlow (11)
- Forfun selected Martinez (-3) ahead of De Gea (7) |
| SUBS JOKERS |
No Captain Jokers this week but three teams - all of which started the week in the top five - played a Subs Joker.
- Mr Magoo fared best. Though only two players benefited, they earned 20 points.
- Nightmare Novices gained 11
- Halibut Flounderers gained 7
Meanwhile Gareth Bagel will be gutted they didn't choose to play a Subs Joker. Oliver Willingham's boys had a cracking week (77 points) and climb three places to 5th. All 16 of Oliver's squad played, however, and the five men left on the bench scored 38 points, including Bagel's top performer Scott McTominay (17). Bagel could have been third.
