Game Week 12 Table & Game Week 13 Chat

[StevieDay1983]

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League enters the international break with a familiar face sitting proudly at the top of the table. @Gray306's Ju-Lo's Lamborghini continues to lead the way but his lead at the summit has been reduced to just 9 points after a strong 94-point week from @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane. What drama leading into a two-week break!

Incredibly, in a strong week of scoring, 94 points wasn't enough to take the Manager of the Week accolade. Several managers breached the 94 points plus mark this week. However, it was a team that fell just short of reaching the 100 points tally with 99 pointsthat took the top score this week in the shape of James Hedges and his Hedge Fund team. The standard 32 points from Erling Haaland as captain put down the foundations for a positive week. Double-figure scores from Konstantinos Tsimikas, Mohamed Salah, and John McGinn added to that score for a mammoth return. That score moved Hedges into the top 50 in the league table as well.

Now, the time of the week everybody looks forward to... except the potential recipients. Name of Shame this week is a harsh one because there weren't generally too many bad scores. It's certainly one of the more brutal lowest scores we've had but somebody has to "win" it. Step forward @Peter York and his Bowhill Bears team who could only get 35 points this week. Darwin Nunez getting 10 points saved it from being an even worse week. Unfortunately, those are the punches, Peter. So in the Punters Lounge village stocks with you. I should add that a few of you flirted with danger in the 35 to 40 points zone so consider yourselves lucky! Keep your heads low and have a think about your decisions during the international window! 

Note to self: Must stop being so enthusiastic with the use of the spanking emoji on here!

The deadline for transfers for the next round of Premier League matches is 11am UK time on Saturday 25th November. Best of luck!
