The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League is now entering the final weeks of the season and things could not be more finely-poised. @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane remain on top of the table and their lead has increased to 9 points. The chasing pack are gaining ground and that is evident in the fact that former front-runner Steve Durrant has seen his EsteSakaMinging drop down to 4th spot. Second and third places are now occupied by Timo Fernandez's Undisputed XI and @StevenKing's Lucky Pierre respectively. King will be looking to go one better after coming so close last season. 
Manager of the Week went to @PercyP's PercyP United for an impressive 95 points total this week. It can be argued it was more through luck than judgement with his captain Erling Haaland being consigned to a non-active role this week. This meant his vice-captain, Cole Palmer, was given the armband and proceeded to rake in a total of 40 points after his stunning hat-trick for Chelsea in midweek. Manchester City's Rodri bringing 12 points to the table also helped. Any relation to last season's winner Gareth Palmer and their @Gazza's United?!
In terms of the worst scores this week, well, there were some contenders. There will be a lot of managers with severe nerves after seeing their teams score in the low teens this week. However, it was the pair of @DoppieJ's DoppieJ and @Steve75's Barrow Raiders that shared the worst score shame with just 9 points each. Olufemi saw nearly half of his points earned by Andre Onana and Ivan Toney. Steve's starting XI included three players that weren't even available to play! Shocking! 
It's a quick turnaround this week with the deadline for transfers for this next round of games listed as 11am UK time on Saturday 6th April. Best of luck everyone!

Same old story as in our last 3 or 4 games mate. Very poor in both boxes at the moment. We've conceded the first goal in our last 4 games so we are constantly on the back foot. And then missing sitters at the other end as well. 
Like you said, keeper howler, then we miss a 1 on 1 to make it 1-1. Then a goal that was marginally offside kills the game. Fine margins.

Good pick with Godden 👍 Unlucky with Morgan Rogers as he should have scored after running through our defence. I'd imagine Simms will probably on the bench next week at Swansea with Haji Wright starting. 

Unbelievably it's the 4th time in our last 6 Championship games that we face Middlesbrough!  Good performance at Leicester at the weekend, our finishing cost us. I can't look past Leicester for promotion, very strong side with quite a few Premier League quality players in that squad. I definitely fancy them away at Huddersfield. Leeds looked very good going forward in the second half at home to Cardiff. It's a very strong Championship this season. I like the look of Southampton too with Russell Martin as manager, very possession based. I'd have them to win at home to Norwich.
