BREAKING NEWS
Gameweek 18 it’s now Spurs v Fulham on Wednesday replacing the postponed Villa fixture 😷.
I have checked and Fantasy League have updated their fixture list.
Guess it’s back to the tactical drawing board then. 🤔

RELEGATION 💩

MARE OF THE WEEK 🐴
Will and COVYDRA-19 take the award this week with 10 points holding off AV and the boogie boys who made a spirited attempt to snatch it from their grasp with 12 points. 😛
Well week 18 certainly drew the tokens out.
Wildcard - Sam, Bongo and BB.
Free Hit - Jesh, Winnie, Harry, Oz, Picasso, Iwuz and Rosie.
Good luck to our managers trying to work their tactics out for Gameweek 19. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The Villa v Newcastle fixture Saturday 23rd has been added to Gameweek 19.
Bugger i thought i had won until i checked in the morning. Anything over 50 was a good score this week.
Well done Rosie and great report. 😎
Thanks for another fab read, Rosie, and well done to you and Bongo!
We have reached the halfway stage of the season in gameweeks although I believe 8 teams still have outstanding fixtures.
👀 CAPTAIN WATCH 👀
Nine players entrusted with the armband with Salah top managers choice 😱 with 5 votes.
1. Antonio 36 points - Tactical Sam💥 got it spot on. Points total way ahead of the others.
2. Kane 18 points - Dazzy.
3. DeBruyne/Fernandes/SJ 16 points - David, Bongo, HJ, Yubby, BB, Liam and AV. Jesh 24 points after playing his Triple Captain token.
6. Son/Mane 10 points - Gornal, Will and Rosie.
Joint last Salah/Vardy 8 points - Winnie, Oz, Picasso, Iwuz, Nuc and Harry.
Interesting what our managers tactics will be regarding captain choices.
Liverpool players in general suffering servere loss of form especially captain stalwarts Salah and Mane is it time to give them the boot. 🥾 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Then other captain favourites DeBruyne and Vardy both injured. 🤕🤕🤕🤕🤕
MANAGER OF THE WEEK AWARD 🏆
With double points on offer it turned into a bumper point haul for many of our managers and their teams.
Battle of the Bench Boosters this week but ultimately the award went to Sam and WatkinsSamatta wiv u who reigned supreme with an eye 👁 watering 138💥👏 points. Taking over from Liam in week 4 as the highest weekly point scorer. 👏👏👏

👉1. WatkinsSamatta wiv u.
👍2. Lord of the Mings.
👎3. Winnie’s Warriors.

King Sam 🤴now has a 43 point cushion over 2nd placed David who in turn has relegated Winnie down to 3rd.
Jesh remains in 4th, Harry up to 5th and Oz down to 6th.
RELEGATION 💩
👉17. Aston Liam.
👉18. Bolans boogie boys.

Good points totals from both the Boogie King and Will but they look too far adrift.

Thanks Rosie!
Wow, some high scores this week. Well played Sam. In a moment of madness I tried to be different from you and picked Wilson as my striker instead of Antonio, as I knew you had him. Big mistake. Huge! Congrats also to David and all those who joined the 100 club this week. Keeping a little eye on HJ as he's had another high scoring week ... this season's dark horse, me thinks. A twice former champ, of course, so not surprising.
On a 12 point hit at the moment ... umming and ahhing about using wild card ...
Thanks Rosie for your continued hard work on these updates. Some mega scores this week and while I am happy to be sitting pretty (ish) at the top of the pile I am now like most members of Weight Watchers as I now have no chips left whatsoever.
It was part of a cunning plan that I'd rather be high up in the ranks with no chips with the ever possibility of the season being cancelled while in middle of the pack with an unused bench boost.
52k overall, I've never finished anywhere near that.
