TFF 2017-18 Two-Foot Challenge * Jackpot wins top prize *

[Jackpot]

Unlucky robot, you've played an absolute blinder all season! Didn't think I was going to catch you, especially after last week when you opened up the 20 point lead ... I'm guessing the city rotation was partly to blame.

I only have limited cup final exposure in my top team, so now I'm the one looking anxiously over my shoulder ... especially as I'm pretty sure reds363 who's now in second is united heavy!

P.S. Congrats to Jester on beating me in the cup final, couldn't quite defend my cup win from last season!

When I took the lead before xmas actually had more transfers that most, have just messed up the last few changes.
It makes you realise how much a fine line it is the get things right and challenge overall, a few better changes and I could have been up there.
I've still a small chance as have a few for next week but thats where I went wrong putting to much into the extra games and the cup final and ended up with no kane or salah.
Good luck all

[Jester]

Cup winner - I’ll take that!

Unlucky JP.
