McG

Interesting game where everyone survived until the first break and then we all caved in before the second one.   Well done to Barry on the win and currently in 2nd spot in the league.   Last week's winner Elliott holds on to the lead despite being first out.
It's anyone's for the taking at the moment, leg 3 tonight is PLO, see if we can all storm through 5000 chips before 10pm!

Hello everyone! We are back for another season of the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League! @Gazza's United is aiming to defend his title against all foes in what is set to be the most popular and competitive season yet!
Let's get stuck straight into it! We have an early doors leader in @eagle224 and his Strike for Maupay side. Their impressive 93 points haul is enough to take top spot for this opening week. Asides from the standard decision to select Erling Haaland as his captain he made the crazy horse decision to play his bench boost. This immediately paid off with his bench bringing home a total of 28 points. 
It's also great to see a few familiar faces already in the leading pack with the likes of @Team Sagga's Team Sagga, @u1905068's Amics d'Eric Djemba, and @jarvisla's Jarv's Juggernauts all starting the first week in the top 15. Can they keep in the mix?
Now we come to everyone's favourite time of the week. The Name of Shame! @nawoo, the great disgrace lands at your door this opening week! Just the 31 points gained. It didn't help that you had Gabriel Jesus and Christopher Nkunku injured. Still, it seems like a solid enough team so with a couple of tweaks I'm sure you'll be climbing up the table.
Interesting to see Haaland and Alexander Isak both scoring 2 goals this week. Manchester City host Newcastle this coming weekend. It's 7/1 with Bet365 for both players to score in that game... I do need to transfer Harry Kane out of my team this week and Isak certainly seems like a tempting choice!
The deadline for game week 2 is 6:15pm BST on Friday 18th August. Best of luck to you all!

Team Name - Hector’s House
Manager - Stephen McGowan

Games set up for the month, first 2 are open for registration.
Leg 1 is tonight starting at 8.10pm with the usual 20 minutes added late registration period. 

Sorry - I clearly meant Navassa Island in the first - spell check corrected me

Well done to Kev, a second win in the month and clear winner of the league for May.  Looks like it must have been carnage in the game with it not making it to the second break!
The other prize spots are claimed by our other 2 monthly leg winners, with Elliott picking up another podium position to claim 2nd overall, and Simon just holding off Ian for 3rd place.
Well done to the winners and thank you to everyone who played this month.  As it's a Bank Holiday week and also been a low turnout this month I think we'll just take a week off this week with the extra May Wednesday and restart in June.   I'll sort winners details out meanwhile.
May Winners
1st  @kevsul  £75 + PL Mug and Pens  (Kev, let me know if you'd like the merch)
2nd  @Elliott Sutcliffe  £45
3rd  @Rhino_Power  £30
 

McG takes the win in last week's PLO leg to bring him into contention in the league but despite being first out Rav still holds onto the top spot as we go into the final leg tonight.  Lots of us with no 4th score points to drop so will be counting full points for tonight's result and it's very close on points all round so expect some changes to those podium places.
It's NLHE with 5000 chips, starts at 8.10pm with the usual 20 mins added late reg.

A win for Rav following a 3rd place last week puts him on top of the league after the 2nd leg
Tonight we are on the PLO leg, it's open for registration and starts at 8.10pm with 20mins late reg.  Plenty to play for this month with lots having only made one leg so far so time to rack up the points.

Congratulations to @adamrosswho picked 4 winners on the last day to take the daily prize and also the total prize
Well done to @Hotpotklonkand @Redno2009who dead heat for 2nd

Well done Leo, back to winning ways and now up at the top of the league after the week before's top 2 fell away early. 
Could be all change again after tonight's PLO leg, usual start time 8.10pm with 20 minutes late reg.  I'll have to miss this one so play nicely

February champion rosco picked up where he left off and started the new month with another win. Can anyone stop the demon of the dales this month!  Leg 2 is tonight with another round of NLHE.  Start 8.10pm as usual with 20mins added registration for busy people/latecomers/anyone stuck in snow.  

The predicted open race for the cash materialised last week with Danshot taking the win and jumping up into 2nd overall from 5th place, with a 1st and 2nd place finish over the month.   Even more remarkably, I managed to finish runner up for my second podium of the month and leapt from 7th into 3rd overall.   Rosco maintained his clear lead and is the February champion with 2 wins and a 4th.   No-one else managed 2 podiums this month.
Thanks all for joining in and making an enjoyable battle.  March league starts tonight
 
February Winners
