After placing my Grand National bets, I had a little 50p bet left in my weekly betting budget. So I decided to stick it on a 6-fold BTTS accumulator. Nothing ground-breaking but thought I'd share it anyway.

Hi all! Apologies, I got caught out with the combination of the midweek fixtures, an earlier Saturday transfer deadline, and having been distracted by writing Grand National content on the main site. Anyway, here is the table I managed to grab before the game page updated. @Trimble89 is still out in front. The chasing pack aren't giving up though! I hope you all managed to make the necessary changes before the 11 am UK time today transfer deadline. I'll get a proper update back on track after this weekend.

It's been a while since the last update due to the international break. I thought I'd wait until the next round of matches before posting because it's a cheeky midweek set of fixtures so it'll remind everyone to do their transfers. @Trimble89's Yamal Sells Avon remains out in front. Their lead is now 39 points after the catastrophic round for the previous 2nd-placed Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team who could only muster 7 points. Manager of the Week was shared this week with both @Charlie jones's Live Latte Lath Love and Tare Funkeye's Ijawbio hitting the highest score of 82 points in what was generally seen as a tough round for everyone. It's probably no surprise to see that one team played their free hit and the other team played their wildcard. Much-needed due to the amount of players that didn't have games with the Carabao Cup Final being played that round. Well played! You can tell it's not their first barbecue! At the other end of the scale, we also had the worst score of the week shared between two teams. In an amazing twist of fate, one of those teams isn't Andy Elliot's Andellio! For those of you interested, they actually scored a modest 37 points... which equates to roughly 5% of their season total in a single round. Anyway, the two teams who need to be put in the village stocks and pummeled with fruit and veg are @Nosey-P's Nosey-P and Paul Somers' Smurf Chimney. Not even going to ask where Paul can that name from! Both teams could only muster 6 points in a hard week of scoring for them. No doubt they can hit back firing this week with a full compliment of players available. The transfer deadline for this round is 6:15 pm UK time on Tuesday 1st April. Best of luck everyone!

Never doubt Cardiff again, @tschurchy! Except for our next game when we'll undoubtedly suffer a demoralising 1-0 loss at home to Sheffield Wednesday and plunge back into the bottom three!

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League is still being ruled by @Trimble89's Yamal Sells Avon who picked up a modest 58 points but had points in the bank to fend off an assault from the chasing pack of Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team, Bolanie Marvel's Kai Me A River, and @dwikyeddo's Cyber Tech FC. The lead is now down to just 14 points. Manager of the Week award for this round went to @James A's Not Southgate's XI who got a massive 85 points. Clearly, the decision to play a 4-4-f*cking-2 was key in that! Three Crystal Palace players in Dean Henderson, Maxence Lacroix, and Daniel Munoz brought 22 points to the table. The 30 points from captain Mohamed Salah also helped greatly. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the lowest score of the week was shared by two managers. @Gray306's Wolve Sa We and usual suspect Andy Elliot's Andellio could both only manage 19 points this week. Graham, you need to have a word with your boys if you're lowering yourself to Andy's standards! The deadline for this week's transfers is 1:30 pm UK time on Saturday 15th March. Best of luck everyone!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new leader at the top of the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League. @Trimble89's Yamal Sells Avon has stormed to the summit with a points total of 85 in what was generally a tough week for a lot of players. The lead that Marc's side have established at the top is now 19 points and with just 11 game weeks left to go that could prove to be an insurmountable gap if he continues in this form. Manager of the Week for this round went to @Charlie jones and their Live Latte Lath Love who picked up a whopping 93 points. The classic Oliver Glasner 20-point return helped their total but there were also decent returns from the likes of captain Mohamed Salah, Justin Kluivert, and Pedro Neto. At the opposite end of the spectrum, it was business as usual with bottom placed struggle Andy Elliot and their Andellio team taking the lowest score for the week with a return of just 24 points. The duo of Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku are still somehow getting gametime all the way from Serie A in Italy. 10 points from Thomas Soucek on his own prevented an even lower score. Maybe next week, Andy! The transfer deadline for matches this weekend is 11 am UK time on Saturday 8th March. Best of luck to you all!

The top spot in the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League is still being held by Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team. However, their lead at the summit has been reduced to just 5 points after a massive round score of 98 points from @Trimble89's Yamal Sells Avon who now lie in 2nd place. Several usual suspects including @dwikyeddo's Cyber Tech FC, Bolanie Marvel's Kai Me a River, @bobsyerunkle's Big A Little A, and @Team Sagga's Team Sagga are lurking in the rear. Manager of the Week for this round was hotly contested again. A few teams, including @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane (101 points) and @James A's Not Southgate's XI (104 points), breached the 100-point mark once again. Yet it was Bolanie Marvel's Kai Me a River who squeezed the highest score with a whopping 105 points. Oliver Glasner bringing in 20 points as the assistant manager was a master stroke. It's also worth noting that Bolanie's side also had 13 points stuck on the bench, including 12 points from Joao Pedro! Worst score of the week went to the unimpressive 17-point haul from Michael Timmins and their It's a Timmins Thing. The 5-4-1 formation was an interesting choice and perhaps even more so given they brought in a total of just 4 points between them! No single player earning over 3 points across the team also didn't help! The transfer deadline for the next round of matches is a fast turnaround of 6 pm UK time on Tuesday 25th February. Best of luck with these midweek matches!

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League leader managed to fend off the challenge of the pretenders to the top spot this week as Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team held on to first place with a points total of 98 points this week. It was the joint-lowest score in the top 12 but it was enough to keep the rivals at bay. Manager of the Week was hotly contested with several teams breaching the 100-point mark this week. The recipient of this award this round was Dan Hayward's Old Havertz Dai Hard who earned an impressive 119-point tally. Firstly, what a top team name. Nice to see something unique outside of the usual generic ones. Secondly, it's a crying shame Havertz isn't available to lead the team named in tribute to him. Thirdly, it was a cracking effort from the three Liverpool players who wracked up 66 points off their own back. The decision to wildcard was justified. For those of you worried that things might have been getting weird lately with Andy Elliot's side Andellio not taking the worst score of the week, fear not! The big man is back with a 19-point return this week! It feels like everything is right again! The transfer deadline for this week is 6:30 pm UK time on Friday 21st February! Best of luck!

Great work, @Trotter! Nothing like a squeaky bum time win!

Those odds are very tempting. Leeds are looking for four home league wins on the bounce, haven't even conceded in the previous 3 home league matches, and are unbeaten in the league at home since 14th September. However, Sunderland are undefeated in their last 8 league games and have drawn their last three matches in the league on the road. A draw is entirely plausible. As a Cardiff fan, I'm still suffering from PTSD from our 7-0 defeat at the hands of Leeds at Elland Road at the start of this month so I'm not sure I'm in a mental state to bet against the Yorkshire side at the minute! Joel Piroe to score anytime at 19/10 with Unibet is tempting given he's scored in his last 3 league appearances.

It was a monster week of points scoring in the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League but after all the drama was said and done we had a new leader at the top of the table. Lakshuman Sharma's Fantasy Team earned a whopping 140 points for this round to storm back to the top spot. Their lead at the summit is 15 points which is the largest lead we've seen for a while but it's still not a huge amount. Several pretenders to first place are lurking in the shadows. In a very competitive week (thanks Mohamed Salah!), we saw some massive scores. Sharma's Fantasy Team did incredibly well to hit the 140-point mark but it still wasn't enough to earn the highest score of the week. That accolade went to @BARNSLEYCHOP's Scratattack team who scored 153 points. Superb effort given the highest score in the world for this round was 203 points. The decision to triple captain Salah, like a number of us, worked wonders. The fact that Scratattack managed to do it carrying three players in Lewis Hall, Morgan Rogers, and Alexander Isak who only got 4 points between them is even more admirable. At the other end of the scale, it was a disappointing week for 124th-placed The Tricksters. Managed by Greg Whitehouse, it's far from the lowest score we've seen but considering the points scored this week it's a poor performance from the team. The Liverpool duo of Virgil Van Dijk and Cody Gakpo stopped it from being an even more humiliating showing with the pair bringing in 13 points on their own! The deadline for transfers for the next round is 6:30 pm UK time on Friday 14th February. Best of luck!
