Fantasy League Round Up

A big weekend for league leader Ronnie with King, Scholes, Baros and Hasselbaink all pulling in the points for yet another week. Playing a man down hasn’t stopped The Von Brauns massing an impressive 111 points for the week.

Neltic stay second, with Mellberg, Djibril Cisse and Kevin Kuranyi all pulling in the big points so far. A solid 87 for the week.

Rising like a big daft salmon to third is Tom, with an impressive backline including Turam and Canavarro of Juve outscoring his front-men by some margin. Locked up tight at the back, Tom will be looking for some more goals form midfielders, Beckham, Okotcha and Hleb. Second top scorer for the week with a saucy 104.

CSFPG continue to confound pre- season knockers with a solid showing in fourth. An reasonable 77 belies the fact that Edman, Lungberg and Lampard look like the solid base in an otherwise average squad.

Moving up two places to fifth after some “inspired” changes are my own Big Fanny Failures. Having started the season badly, an improved 83 has me a few decent weeks scoring away from the top dogs.
My much changed side will have to start living up to potential in a team where standouts are few and far between.

Two points behind The Fannies, Lokomotiv Sausages look capable of climbing the table as well, with surprise star turn Athletico Madrid goalie Leo Franco. 70 for the week.

On the slide though are Keith’s Do You Smell Gas? If only his team were performing as well as his major assets, his manager and ground. 59 is our lowest score of the week. Rumours that Gas? Have been sniffing around looking for another, non-ginger, manager have been hotly denied by the Cadgerman.

All of which should give hope to bottom side West Bam United, who’s decision to bring in Chelsea keeper Petr Chech looks like a wise move. A respectable 64 for the week and Gas? firmly in her sights.
