The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League only seems to be getting more intense with every passing week. @u1905068's Amics d'Eric Djemba are the new team on the top of the table after a moderate week of points scoring that was enough to move up one spot to the summit. David Oliver's team are just 1 point clear in first place so the pressure is firmly on. Double-figure totals from Levi Colwill and Kieran Trippier in the back-line played a key role in that rise to the top. It's also great to see a football forum veteran in @skyblues88 flirting with the top in 3rd place with their Show Me the Mane. Go on, Jay! 
Manager of the Week was a rather convincing winner this round with Carl Joiner's star of kings bringing home 98 points. The vast majority of the credit for that points haul goes to the decision to captain Ollie Watkins which totalled 46 points on its own. Ben White earning 14 points and Martin Odegaard accumulating 17 points also helped. Well played, Carl! 
The name of shame this week goes to... *checks to make sure it isn't me after an awful 38-point total*... Mark Milton's Best in Show who could only muster 16 points in one of the worst totals so far. The worst thing is that it looks like Mark was actually trying this week. Even if questions must be raised about the inclusion of James Tarkowski, Josh Brownhill, and Antoine Semenyo in the starting XI. Especially with 25 points sitting on the bench in the form of Sam Johnstone, Cristian Romero, and Joachim Andersen. Ouch! Come on, Mark. You're better than that!
It's an 11am BST deadline on Saturday 7th October so be sure to get your transfers in. I've officially wild-carded. Had enough of these primadonnas in my side. Time to start climbing the table! Otherwise, it's off to the job centre and a likely job in Scandinavian football for me! Good luck all!

@StevieDay1983 I’m doing some of my best work in these top of the head (but not having money on) preambles, hope you followed! 
To be fair I did find 3 decent priced goalscorers and I believe Gosens had one chalked off by VAR.

Didn't stop me picking Everton in LMS though! 

I'm going to take that as you calling that one! Well played! 

They’ve got to go to Everton first! They suddenly seem to have found their mojo but I wouldn’t rule out an upset.

I'm quietly confident we can turn Rotherham over with a commanding display on Saturday. I think our 5-2 loss to Blackburn in the EFL Cup in midweek might've altered the odds slightly but not a lot should be read into that. We were playing a mix of fringe and youth players with a changed formation. I fully expect us to revert back to our best XI and really go at Rotherham to get back to winning ways. Cardiff to win and I would be disappointed if we don't do it by at least -1.

Is this the week that Luton finally break their points duck? At the price being offered, I'm very tempted to back them for the win against Burnley. Who's coming with me?

Hi all,
Apologies for the delay in getting this up. I was ill and then had both my own and my daughter's birthdays to celebrate. It was a big scoring week for some this time around and we do have a new leader at the top of the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League. Abdulbadiu Abdulkadir's Dankaka lead the way after earning a solid 78 points last week.
However, it wasn't even close to being the highest score of the week. The Manager of the Week award for this round goes to @u1905068's Amics d'Eric Djemba who notched up a whopping 98 points to help them move up to 2nd in the table and just 5 points off the pace of top spot. David Oliver is familiar with success in our fantasy football so it's no surprise to see him up there once again. The fact he reached that many points without using a special card this week makes it even more impressive. Double-figure scores from Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Son Heung-min, Bruno Fernandes, Bukayo Saka, and Erling Haaland certainly helped!
A special tip of the fantasy hat to @Gray306's Ju-Lo's Lamborghini who accumulated 96 points and fell just short. He also didn't need to use a special card to get this total but did need some big scores by some unfashionable names including Kyle Walker and Pedro Neto to get him close to the three-figure total. Shashwot Adhikari's MaddiSon also hit 96 points this week with a three-man defence picking up 24 points on their own.
The lowest score this week wasn't even particularly low but we still need to pay our lack of respects to the recipient of the shameful accolade. Darama Mallum Wadai's Rexyking only managed 24 points and they were lucky to get that many in what looked like a car crash of a week. Six of his starting line-up are now listed as very doubtful or unavailable for this week. That includes Malo Gusto and Rodri who both got -2 this week for their respective red cards. Kepa Arrizabalaga and Danilo didn't even play but weren't replaced because Harry Kane, Kevin De Bruyne, and Davinson Sanchez on the bench are all unavailable too. Then there was Kurt Zouma who didn't pick up a single point. What a mess! Have a word with yourself Darama! You and your team are a disgrace! Also, given the state this team is in, if anyone else gets a lower score than this squad over the coming weeks you should just resign from your position with immediate effect!
Now, onto next week! The deadline for transfers is 11 am BST on Saturday 30th September. Best of luck with all your decisions! Here we go!

Did somebody order a cheeky portion of midweek Spanish La Liga matches? I hope you're all recovering after that epic Madrid derby we experienced on the weekend. Will Real Madrid bounce back after that disappointing defeat to their neighbours? Can Atletico Madrid build on that win to mount a genuine title challenge? Meanwhile, are Girona the real contenders to push Barcelona this season? 

Check out the odds for the midweek action coming up in the Italian Serie A over the next few days. Inter Milan remain the only club with a 100% start to the season but the surprise package who are the only other team to remain undefeated are Lecce. Five of the top six teams won on the weekend so will we see a repeat of that consistency in these matches? Give us your predictions below! 

It would be great to maybe have some sort of chart with the times BOG starts with each bookie.
It would also be great to have a list of bookies that offer double or treble odds on one winner in a lucky 15 bet.
Thanks tonythepaint 

I was specifically thinking about the bogs as it were. That’ll teach me to try and be subtle! 
I have fond enough memories of the betting shop era generally, especially the one where we were deemed regular enough to get free coffees and in proper mugs! I just don’t tend to use them these days.

I'm not sure if we can merge two accounts. I'll look into it. For the time being, I've PM'd @Allotment Pete with the email address associated with @luckypants so hopefully they can access the account.

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League is back after the international break. So much has changed but yet the one thing that has remained the same is Rob Cooper's email this team in staying on top of the table! It was far from the most impressive week with just 47 points to their name but it was enough to fend off the challengers from behind. Erling Haaland and Andrew Robertson will certainly be having their pints bought for them in the pub this week by gaffer Rob! 
Manager of the Week goes to Max Parker and his Royals team. A spirited 68 points total saw him rise up the table some way. The Liverpool pair of Mohamed Salah and Robertson brought home the bulk of the points but there were also solid displays from the likes of Levi Colwill, Fabian Schar, Bukayo Saka, and James Ward-Prowse. A proper team effort.
Now it's time for everyone's favourite part of the week. Who do we name, shame, and throw rotten vegetables at this round? Surprisingly, given it was generally a low-scoring week, the lowest score actually isn't too low with Shashwot Adhikari's MaddiSon achieving the lowest score of the round with 20 points. Haaland was the only player in the team to score more than 2 points in a disappointing effort. It's far from the worst weekly score we've seen but nonetheless. Off to the stocks with you, Shashwot! 
The deadline for the next round of matches is 1:30pm BST on Saturday 23rd September. Best of luck to you all!

I'm fully expecting Erol Bulut to make changes to his Cardiff side after Saturday night's superb 2-0 win over Swansea. I can see Rubin Colwill, Ollie Tanner, Joe Ralls, and Kion Etete all coming in with the likes of Arron Ramsey, Manolis Siopis, Karlan Grant, and Yakou Meite potentially being rested. I hope he keeps the same back-line after keeping that clean sheet but he might rest a couple of them after they put in that solid shift.
I'm quietly optimistic we can win this one but the danger after winning such an emotionally charged game is that you'll get caught on the hop after it. I would consider a draw to be a very positive result for Cardiff so backing a draw is my hopeful bet at 23/10 with Bet365. @skyblues88, how are you feeling about this game? We couldn't even score against you last season so I'm hoping we rectify that tonight! I'll cry if you win 1-0 again!

Although I am no longer able to use them, I did find that Bet365 tended to offer the best prices. They also have some good offers on Saturdays and other big meetings.
Ladbrokes offer 3 price boosts each day which can give them the best prices.
Boylesports have an offer on 1 race meet per day where they offer a free bet if your selection is second to the SP favourite.
The rest have all closed my account or removed BOG so I can't really comment on them although I do remember that Unibet had some good offers.
Generally I would advice that you open a number of accounts so that you can get the best odds (and also take advantage of the offers usually available for opening an account).
