Block League - Year 8

[thebillfella]

Sorry all - working late so haven't been able to check the teams. Looked like Maldini and hayesag teams need to be made public asap to check validity but all teams checked last night were valid.

[Maldini]

Apologies.

Tried doing it earlier but website was down. Seems FISO is struggling as well.

Sorted now.

Good luck all!

[thebillfella]

Ok, all in and sorted. Not much for tonight's blocks Jag and Geoff

[workie-ticket]

There we go. Easy peasy. Don't know why people were so worried about Huddersfield!

[thebillfella]

GW3 update

As of start of play today, there's no surprise that with three clean sheets to date Robot's Utd block sits top, but possibly slightly more surprising that workie-ticket's 19th pick Huddersfield block sits second also with 3 clean sheets. A little further behind, nffc's Chelsea block sits third and Zipnolan's Southampton block shares 4th= spot with Topspur's West Brom Block.

After that it's unsurprisingly rather clustered in the middle including the first three picks Spinynorman's Spurs block, Mintman's Brighton block and Maldini's Everton block.

At the other end of the table, both Jagsduracell's Arsenal block and Murf's West Ham block sit bottom after poor starts by the Gunners and Hammers. Just above them sit Mystery's Crystal Palace block and Wiseowl65's Bournemouth block. All early days however...

the image of Mendy in his Monaco shirt looks so wrong in my back 4

The image of four West Ham shirts looks so wrong in my back 4

[workie-ticket]

It's not going to last, but my Huddersfield block is 69th in the starting 11 league!

[thebillfella]

GW11 update

Robot's Utd block still sits top after 11 weeks, with Spinynorman's Spurs block 2nd. Probably no surprises that those blocks are top two with multiple clean sheets and a more stable backline in the real teams this year; slightly more surprising that bigbaddod's Burnley block has shot up to 3rd and workie-ticket's 19th pick Huddersfield block still holding it's top 4 status with Mintman's Brighton block 5th.

At the bottom of the table 3rd choice draft Maldini's Everton block sits bottom and will be hoping for new manager bounce (in reality rather than here Paul!) at Goodison to get out of trouble. The bottom four also contains Mystery's Crystal Palace block, Alchemist's Stoke block and my own Watford block

Long overdue update
GW25 update

Robot's Utd block still remains top with nffc's Chelsea block moving up to challenge in 2nd. bigbaddod's Burnley block continue to do well jumping above Spinynorman's Spurs block with Mintman's Brighton block in 5th. Unfortunately workie-ticket's Huddersfield block seems to have lost it's way of late dropping to 10th.

The bottom of the table Maldini's Everton block has changed it's name and moved out of the bottom three to be replaced at the bottom by wizardoffire's City block Mystery's Crystal Palace block, Alchemist's Stoke block and my own Watford block continue to struggle to make headway up the league

Final Table

Out of nowhere, Spinynorman's Spurs block jumps up from 5th to take the title pipping Robot's Utd block who finish second and bigbaddod's Burnley block third. nffc's Chelsea block and Mintman's Brighton block make up the top 5.

Not sure how he managed it but wizardoffire's City block takes the wooden spoon just below Alchemist's Stoke block and Asher's Salahpool block with my own Watford block just avoiding a relegation spot and finishing 5th bottom.

Thanks to all for participating. Maybe see you again next season...?
