Week 16 Table & Week 17 Chat

[StevieDay1983]

The first week of Fantasy Premier League action after the 2022 World Cup threw up a points bonanza. The Punters Lounge league has a new team at the top with Ryan Momanyi's Liloo storming to the summit after an epic 107 point haul. It's tight at the top though with Ryan just 1 point ahead of 2nd and 3rd place which are currently occupied by Nick Wilkinson's ecko chambers and @DanPUP's Ninja Skrtel's respectively.

It is perhaps astonishing that the 107 points earned by the new league leader wasn't even enough to win the Manager of the Week award. That accolade went to Raph Lombard's Lompard Premier side. Their 116 points total is the highest weekly score of the season so far I believe which is an impressive achievement. The decision to captain Marcus Rashford whilst also earning double figure point tallies for Kieran Trippier, Kai Havertz, Erling Haaland, and Aleksandar Mitrovic contributed to the mammoth score.

The Name of Shame label for this week goes to @Soi Bongkot's Whelan Wonders team who could only muster 25 points this week. Only Thiago Silva and Christian Eriksen got more than 2 points for their team in a disappointing round. It is also a score that leaves Whelan Wonders second from bottom in the league table.

It's a fast turn around this week with the next deadline coming up on Friday at 6:15pm GMT! Get your teams sorted by then!
