Game Week 33 Table & Game Week 34 Chat

StevieDay1983 · April 16

Honestly, I cannot take any more of this rollercoaster of a run-in for the Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League. @skyblues88's Show Me the Mane are still the number one team and their lead has extended to 3 points. However, the twist is that it's not Steve Durrant's EsteSakaMinging who are the closest rivals. It's once again @StevenKing's Lucky Pierre! Durrant's side are now down back in 4th place and 22 points off the title pace with Timo Fernandez's Undisputed XI in 3rd position. :loon

It was a competitive week in the fight for Manager of the Week. The four goals scored by Cole Palmer for Chelsea in their 6-0 rout over Everton on Monday night contributed to this. If you hit the 90-point mark then you did well... but you didn't do well enough! @eagle224's Strike for Maupay hit 101 points. It still wasn't good enough. Palmer got 52 points as captain there.

The 103 points tallied by @Redno2009's LoredonVille FC also weren't quite good enough. Probably fair given the fact they initially selected Rodri as a triple captain but his lack of game time saw the captaincy pass to Palmer meaning he earned Yeniatakan's side 78 points on his own!

It was actually the 107 points earned by @Bedlam's Real Sosobad that finished the round as the top score. The combination of Erling Haaland as captain bringing in 20 points, Palmer earning 26 points, and the Newcastle duo of Fabian Schar and Anthony Gordon getting 30 points between them was key. :clap

At the other end of the table, there was a bit of a shock! It appeared that the struggling System Active managed by Phil Robinson Smith would live up to their league standing of 206th place when they could only manage 15 points. It was actually the relatively highly-placed @Mrjol.'s St Mildreds who only got 14 points for the week. That has seen them drop to 61st place in the table and makes them one of the highest-positioned lowest scorers in the history of the competition. :spank

The transfer deadline for this next week of matches is 1:30pm UK time on Saturday 20th April. Don't forget that it's a double game week for some teams with the FA Cup Quarter-Finals also impacting weekend fixtures. A lot to think about in one of the final weeks of the season! :drums
