So our 17 managers started the the season full of hopes and dreams of bringing football ⚽️ home, but for most it will end in tears. 😢
Half of our teams where not in action on Friday night their managers joining Southgate and Martinez in the stands at Old Trafford on a scouting mission and naturally obligatory prawn 🍤 sandwiches.
Anyway down to business.
CAPTAIN WATCH
Stats taken from the Fantasy League. Salah the most picked player and also the most picked captain with DeGea most picked vice captain.
I suspect you know where this is going. 😉 Salah was in 12 of our teams and given the armband in 9 of them making him the top choice, and magic 💥Mo💥didn’t let us down earning 16 sumptuous points for his ecstatic managers.
Joint runners up with 10 points Yubby’s Firmino 👏👏👏and our newcomer Liam with Zaha.👏👏👏 Well played guys.
3 managers did indeed pick DeGea as their vice captain.
MANAGER OF THE WEEK AWARD 🏆
Joint winners this week with a stunning 74 points Uncle Tony with Mr Tee 👍 and his nephew Sam with Large Icardie and Koke 👍 Well played.
TOP 6
After one game :-
1. Large Icardi & Koke - Mr Tee
3. Agbonlahar United
4. 8 Daughters FC - Cubist Masterpiece
6. Winnie’s Warriors
Propping up the table although I am sure not for long with their fantasy league pedigree.
15. Aston Lilla
16. Grealish is a Legend
17. Kirkley Krusaders
MARE OF THE WEEK
🐴 Jesh and Kirkley Krusaders 🐴 An unusually bad start to the season for Jesh and his team.
Our first token played already Sam with his Bench Boost.
Crystal Palace’s Wan-Bissaka was on 6 teams bench and I believe only Sam took advantage of his 12 points.
I was going to ask who would be the first to play their Wildcard? However Bongo has already announced he has for gameweek 2 which is amazing as he finished 3rd this week, will anyone else take the early Wildcard plunge.
Just wanted to say a big well done to Liam on his Fantasy League debut scoring the same points as Dad Oz 49 🤪
The World Cup players may be back in their teams for next week.
