| MATCH WEEK 16: ARMY DEPOSED! |
| 13 weeks of domination come to an end this week, as Al's Army are knocked off their perch by Mr Magoo. 45 points from Army was the lowest of any team that started the week in the top 11, and it's not enough to see the Nightmare Squad which once led by 77 points hold on to top spot. Army suffered from Captain Grant Hanley getting injured early on in Norwich's match against Man United - although as they only conceded one it wouldn't have made a massive difference if the result had been the same with Hanley on the field. In the most part Alex Metzger's boys had a team full of reasonable scores - their best was Pickford with 9 - while Magoo had Jamal Lascelles score 17 and Captain Max Aarons' 9 doubled up to 18. Jonathan Andrews becomes just the fourth manager to top the overall League this season. Remember weeks 1 and 2? U Kante Beat Me were our first table-toppers, now 17th, while week 2's leaders were Clem Fandango, this week's second best team, they climb a place to 6th as a result. |
| HALIBUT TAKE TotW AGAIN |
So Magoo go top, but they might have to be more concerned about The Halibut Flounderers than the deposed Army. Flounderers are the Nightmare Team of the Week for the second week in a row, with a whopping 109 points, the second best winning total this season. David Metzger made a truly inspired decision to play a Captain Joker this week. After Friday night I thought it was an excellent decision as William Troost-Ekong scored 15 points - but it just got better for Halibut, up stepped Raul Jimenez with his remarkable two-bookings-in-48-seconds which saw him score 25, doubled up to 50 for Halibut.
Flounderers are the third team to earn the TotW three times this season, along with Al’s Army early in the season and Grecians -2000 more recently. Are you watching the Grecians drop like a ridiculously heavy stone? |
