The Iomartership Update

We've not had a run-down of our Fantasy League for a while. So here's one now.

Ronnie's Von Brauns are still out in front, with 321 points. Despite being only a ten man side his lead shows no signs of slipping. Milan Baros and Jimmy Floyd up front are really producing the goods and at the back John Terry and Ledley King are keeping things solid.

I'm in second place a mere 9 points behind with Serenity Now. My Juventus pairing of Thuram and Cannavaro are putting together a great scoring run with 50 and 54 points respectively from only 9 games. I think I'll be making a move in November's transfer window though, as I try to find a third defender with that sort of form.

In third place is Fizzy's Big Fanny Failures 25 points further back on 287. He will have to make a move in the transfer market as Liverpool's Djibril Cisse has been ruled out for the season after a nasty leg break at the weekend. A huge blow for the mercurial Southside gaffer as Cisse is his biggest points scorer.

In fourth on 259 is Dave's Lokomotiv Sausages. Okocha and Ferguson in his midfield deliver, while his new strike partnership of Reyes and Berbatov are taking a little time to get going.

Fifth place belongs to Neltic FC bossed by 'A guy at Keith's work.' He will also suffer from the loss of Cisse, though he has decent returns from Mellberg at Aston Villa and Scotland's only Nigel, Portsmouth midfielder Quashie.

Making a spirited fightback to climb up the table into 6th spot on 234 is Karen's West Bam United. An inspired move to drop Fulham's van der Sar and bring in Chelsea's Petr Cech has saw her turn minus 7 into 37 valuable points. Milan Baros is her next biggest scorer on 33. The third highest points scorer this month I think Karen will climb higher.

Second from bottom comes Nicola's CSFPG FC. This girl has been neglecting her side. Lampard and Ljungberg are still holding it together, however a minus 5 for Diarra in defence and poor showings from Lloyd Dyer (9), Koumas (9), McManaman (6) and Ameobi (7) have seen her early promise become relegation fodder. Someone needs to move into the transfer market.

Propping up the table on 198 is Keith's Do You Smell Gas? Well we smell something. His highest points scorer is his boss Mourinhio with 42. He also has to replace Cisse.

So there you have it, still going to be tough to overhaul Ronnie, but the league is shaping up into an interesting contest.
