Game Week 2 Table & Game Week 3 Chat

[StevieDay1983]

The second week of Punters Lounge Fantasy Football League action has, unsurprisingly, seen a change at the top. Garth King now leads the way after notching up 76 points. King's rise to the top is all the more impressive due to the absence of Erling Haaland from their team with a front three of Danny Welbeck, Alexander Isak, and Chris Wood only getting 12 points between them. The key to King's success has been the midfield with Kevin De Bruyne, Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, and Anthony Gordon all earning double figures this week. Throw in a vintage David Raya performance in goal and it's a proper collective effort. 

The Manager of the Week accolade went to an incredible effort from @Gray306 and their Wolve Sa We team. Hopefully, the staggering 125-point tally accumulated this week made up for the 6-2 humping their own side suffered at the hands of Chelsea in real life a little easier to take. Haynes saw players deliver across his squad but the masterstroke was deciding to triple captain Haaland. This saw the Norwegian bring home 51 points off his own back. That points total has moved Haynes into 15th position and right into the top-end mix. It's worth noting this has been achieved with three Wolves players in the starting XI too! 

However, with every moment of greatness, there appears a moment of humiliation. Unfortunately, for the second week in a row, that humiliation comes for Andy Elliott and their Andellio side. A sorrowful 18 points for the already bottom-positioned side has left them now 43 points adrift at the wrong end of the table and it's already looking like it could be a season to forget. It might be time to address that 5-man midfield packed with defensive-minded players! For the time being, in the village stocks with you! 

The deadline for this week's transfers is 11am UK time on Saturday 31st August! Best of luck to you all!
