No, that would be me for bringing him in. :lol:

I'm having a right Weston-super-Mare this week.

I've been moving house all week and completely forgot to set up my team. :oops:

Luckily the team isn't good enough for it to have made a difference. Image

Big Phil missing a penalty tonight, Stem. :wink:

And big Marouane scoring a goal I could have done with three days ago. :(

No problem Stem, there's nothing to see about your regular FPL team's performances either, so you can just forget that team as well ;)

Good thing there's no money at stake, eh? :lol: This game is riotously unpredictable. :D

Mav3rick's lead is increasing ominously week by week. 73 points for him this week, after his 68-pointer last week. Perhaps he's peaked too early though. :wink:

I know I certainly did. :lol:

This is definitely the week Mr Jones decimates the league. Starting him ahead of Kovacic and Walker for the win! 8-)

I must admit my team has done remarkably well over the last month. Last season taught me though that in this format of the game, even big point gaps do get closed.

Despair. Like Wes Morgan watching some youngster scoot away from him with the ball. Too far to even get an agricultural hack in.

Morgan is never too far away for an agricultural hack, as we've seen on numerous occasions in recent weeks. :lol:

Sometimes you have to just hold your hands up and say, "these are the hands I am going to use to give Mav a damn good thrashing if I ever catch him." :wink:

Well I'm still hoping to even that particular H2H score in a couple of weeks time :lol:

Draft league do turn around because if I pick up injuries or my players lose form, there's not a lot I can do about it. So don't give up just yet NWJ (or anyone else) as a hundred point gap can be closed as quickly as it's opened!

Hopefully I can keep my overall lead and finish first but that head to head will be fun as your team has hit form!

You know it’s bad if I’ve overtaken you. As admin, can you sabotage mav somehow?

At least you didn't get 18 points this week. I'm getting sacked in the morning apparently.

You are the Julen Lopetegui of The Secret Tournament. I am the Slaviša Jokanović - a promising start followed by weeks of increasingly hilarious ineptitude.

You can take out the promising start bit when it comes to my season. 😀
This league is like a pub quiz though right? You know, where the bottom team wins some cake or a beer.
