Game Week 31 Table & Game Week 32 Chat

[StevieDay1983]

The Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League is now entering the final weeks of the season and things could not be more finely-poised. @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane remain on top of the table and their lead has increased to 9 points. The chasing pack are gaining ground and that is evident in the fact that former front-runner Steve Durrant has seen his EsteSakaMinging drop down to 4th spot. Second and third places are now occupied by Timo Fernandez's Undisputed XI and @StevenKing's Lucky Pierre respectively. King will be looking to go one better after coming so close last season. 

Manager of the Week went to @PercyP's PercyP United for an impressive 95 points total this week. It can be argued it was more through luck than judgement with his captain Erling Haaland being consigned to a non-active role this week. This meant his vice-captain, Cole Palmer, was given the armband and proceeded to rake in a total of 40 points after his stunning hat-trick for Chelsea in midweek. Manchester City's Rodri bringing 12 points to the table also helped. Any relation to last season's winner Gareth Palmer and their @Gazza's United?!

In terms of the worst scores this week, well, there were some contenders. There will be a lot of managers with severe nerves after seeing their teams score in the low teens this week. However, it was the pair of @DoppieJ's DoppieJ and @Steve75's Barrow Raiders that shared the worst score shame with just 9 points each. Olufemi saw nearly half of his points earned by Andre Onana and Ivan Toney. Steve's starting XI included three players that weren't even available to play! Shocking! 

It's a quick turnaround this week with the deadline for transfers for this next round of games listed as 11am UK time on Saturday 6th April. Best of luck everyone!
