Game Week 9 Table & Game Week 10 Chat

StevieDay1983 · October 24, 2023

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League has a new leader once again! It's a crazy game of musical chairs at the top of the table. A big managerial gang bang where everyone's taking turns having a go at the summit. Clearly, the top spot isn't up to much because nobody wants more than one week with them! OK, this has got a bit weird now. Anyway! It's Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging who now lead the table after a mammoth 105-point haul this week. Fair play!

Interestingly, the 105-point total wasn't enough to take the Manager of the Week accolade. In fact, even Mohammed Abbid's Lynx Africa (a lovely tribute to every 13-year-old teenage boy in the UK there!) with their 106 points wasn't high enough. That's because a certain Sean Fahy with The Roosters sealed that tip of the hat thanks to a total of 111 points. I will need to check but it's a shout for the highest weekly score of the season so far. His decision to captain Mohamed Salah brought in 32 points on its own but the inclusion of Kieran Trippier, Son Heung-min, and Ollie Watkins who also earned double-figure totals this week was massive. It was a proper squad effort though with only Matty Cash and Brennan Johnson earning less than 7 points this week for The Roosters.

It was a very high-scoring week in general with an average score of 67 points. So it feels like a hard knock for Pat Somers' Garage Band FC to have to take on the Name of Shame this week with a far-from-appalling 28 points. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's still a pathetic total and you should spend the next 6 months in an old Soviet gulag but it's not the worst score we've seen. Still, away to the Siberian outlands with you! Don't come back until you've taken Ashley Young and Danny Welbeck out of your team! This isn't the 2012/13 Manchester United title-winning side and you're certainly not Sir Alex Ferguson enjoying a swansong season at Old Trafford!

The deadline for transfers for week 10 is set for 6:30pm UK time on Friday 27th October. Best of luck everyone! :cheers
