All Change in the Fantasy League

A disastrous weekend for league pacesetters The Von Brauns and Serenity Now has seen November start with my own Big Fanny Failures replacing Ronnie at the top of the league with Tom pushed down into third.

While Failures managed an incredible 61 points this weekend thanks to my policy of spend and re-build, Ronnie and Tom pulled in 6 and 5 respectively, thanks in part to injuries, bookings and the sending off of Man U firebrand Alan Smith.
Not a man to stand for being let down in that manner, Tom has already replaced him in his team with Barca front man Samuel Eto’o, although too late to capitalise on his goal scoring performance this Saturday.

Ronnie has also made changes, looking to free up some cash for a third striker, bringing in Boro’s in form Stuart Downing, as good a cheap option as there is in the game perhaps. However, Ronnie will have been rocked by news that after just 13 games, the departure of Tottenham coach Jacques Santini has left him without vital managerial points for the rest of the season.

Further down the table, Neltic FC, West Bam Utd and Locomotiv Sausages have all pulled back to within genuine striking distance of the leaders. Particular credit must go to West Bam, who looked dead and buried just a few weeks ago.

Below the chasing pack are two teams in serious trouble. CSFPG FC’s dramatic slide down the table seems to be the only thing going for Keith’s “Do You Smell Gas?” with Nicola’s team in dire need of an overhaul.

So, an amazing weekend in the Iomartership, with the team who finished the first week bottom going top after some wise spending in the transfer market. Extra transfers are available on the website at £1.50 for two.
