Fantasy Update

Another week in the Fantasy League then. Atop the table sits Fizz's Big Fanny Failures on 405 points. Samuel Eto'o chimed in with a goal for him in Barcelona's win over Real Madrid. Just two points behind is early pace setter Ronnie's von brauns. Ronnie suffered a blow in midweek with his striker Milan Baros picking up an injury that will sideline him for 4 weeks. So temporarily down to 9 men he picked up some points through his Middlesborough duo of Downing and Jimmy Floyd.

In third place is my own Serenity Now on 384. My Juventus defence duo were in cup action this weekend, so I had to look elsewhere for my big points. Eto'o and Klimowicz up front provided. Lokomotiv Sausages are another team to benefit from Samuel Eto'o's lovely finish into an empty net on Saturday night and on 350 points they sit in fourth. Atletico Madrid keeper Leo Franco and Cafu of Milan are his current two biggest scorers.

Karen's West Bam United on 330 also suffer from the loss of Baros, but Kevin Kuranyi hit a goal for Stuttgart, though Petr Cech in the Chelsea goal let her down a bit. Neltic FC are in 6th with 309. Muzzy Izzet? The now out of the game Finidi George? With 2 transfers remaining for the month this Keith's Work based supremo should be getting elbow deep into that transfer market.

Second from bottom come CSFPG FC yet to break the 300 barrier, stuck as they are, on 298. If it wasn't for Lampard and Ljungberg this side would be dead and buried. Nicola, move into the transfer market for goodness sake. Having said that she's only scored 1 point less than I have for the month, but the potential in the side is there, with a good few pounds and pence in the transfer kitty and 2 transfers sitting. Don't waste them like last month. Propping up the table is Keith's Do you smell gas? His boss Mourinho weighs in with 54 pts and his St James Park ground help him out with 42. Ledley King at the back and the surprise Gary Holt in the midfield chip in with 33 points apiece. Eto'o also bagged a goal for the gas boys, but there's just too many players not pulling their weight in this leaden side.

Based on this month's points only the league would look like this:

1. Big Fanny Failures 118
2. West Bam United 96
3. Lokomotiv Sausages 91
4. the von brauns 82
5. Serenity Now 72
6. CSFPG FC 71
7. Do you smell gas? 61
8. Neltic FC 56

Still a long way to go though.
