Fantasy League 2009-2010

Biggest player score this week came from Ella Markham, with her 28 point haul in the Harriers 2-0 win. Remember the Harriers games are worth double points as they have less fixtures! So in fact Guy Biggs 25 points from this week was sort of the highest score, as he scored a brace and got MOM in the Fledglings big win. The top 5 player scores are now all occupied by Harriers – but remember they have had effectively 9 games already whereas most teams have had only 4 or 5. Steve Griffiths is now the top Falcon as he has rocketed into the top ten with his 23 points from this week.

All this snow has caused a few Fantasy League headaches, but hopefully all the games will be rearranged shortly so we can amend the fixtures to be included. So the only games which have contributed to the FL this week are the Ladies 1s, 2s and Senators.

Top scorer of the week was Senators keeper Jim Felix with MOM in their win helping him towards his 14 point haul, followed closely by the Ladies 1s MOM Fi Walton who picked up 12. But still heading up the players table is the Harriers’ Laura Scragg, followed by Charis Knighton, with the Senators Ed Baldock slowly creeping up the ranks into 3^rd!

No change at the top as Sam Chilvers’ ‘Hit and Miss’ still holds top spot, but hot on his heels is Sally Clark’s ‘The bananas that say mush’ who has jumped into second. Biggest score of the week was from Phil Hargraves’ ‘Pukka Pies’ with a whopping 70 points, mainly thanks to the hat trick from Tom Ward. At the wrong end of the table we amazingly have a change! Keith Taylor’s team of cheapies had a good week, mainly thanks to £4 defender Dunners scoring and getting MOM, So he has jumped above………..Andre Moriaty! His ‘Titans’ are now in last place (although admittedly it is a tie for last place but for some reason Andre is listed last!!).

For all those managers who were glad to see Sandra Satterly on the scoresheet – don’t celebrate too soon as I’m afraid that since she was listed as a Ladies 4s player at the time of ‘purchase’ her points from the Ladies 2s win will not count as the 4s did not have a game on the same day!! (Sorry H!) I know it’s an annoying rule but it’s in place to stop players getting points from more than the maximum of 13 fixtures….heh heh I love making the rules!

We have a change at the top! Sam Chilvers’ ‘Hit and Miss’ is now sitting in top spot. Now for those observant ones out there, you will notice that Sam didn’t feature in last week’s team list, but don’t worry - it’s all legit!! His team was indeed entered on time but needed one change which has only just been made. So Ian McGregor’s ‘Aussie’s Heroes’ is pushed into second spot with Linda Phillips’ ‘Spitfires jumping up to third, mainly thanks to big scores from her Harriers Sally Clark and Ella Markham. At the wrong end, Keith Taylor’s ‘Cheapest Team and Nick Ferraby’ still proudly prop up the table, but they are facing stiff competition from ‘Sheri’s Stunners’, managed by Andrew Sheridan. Biggest score of the week came from Gill Petrokovsky’s ‘Bruise Brothers and Sisters’ who picked up 118 points to jump to 5th, mainly from the sticks of Rogam Meadows, Megan Wilds and Linda Phillips.

On the players front, a goal, clean sheet and Man of the Match from the Harriers defender Laura Scragg has not only given her the highest score of the week – she now has top spot in the Players table! Chris Debney picked up 28 points with his hat trick in the Mens 2s win, but unfortunately the only person to benefit from this is ….. Chris Debney! Sorry – no-one else bought you!

Again remember that not all teams have had games which contribute to the Fantasy League – this weekend coming will be the first one where all games count! But there is a change at the top with Ian McGregor’s ‘Aussie’s Heroes’ stealing the top spot, mainly thanks to having big points hauls from Mark Crowley in the Senators win, and Alex Cherry and Kirsty Davies from the Ladies 4s. He’s only two points ahead of Catherine Taylor’s ‘Taylors Trophy Team’. Catherine’s husband Keith is not faring so well as he sits in last place with a mere 13 points. His team name ‘The Cheapest Team and Nick Ferraby’ might give you an indication why? (Nick – not because you are in it just in case you were wondering…). In third place is ‘Evelyn’s Swifts’ managed by Evelyn Hargraves who has also had a good week thanks to Mark Crowley and Linda Phillips. Special mention to John Kaluza’s ‘Bish Bash Bosh’ with the biggest score of the week – his 57 points have brought him just inside the top ten, mainly coming from the sticks of Ed Baldock and Mark Crowley, and also Pip Quested from the Ladies 4s.

It's up and running!! The top scorers on the pitch are dominated by the Harriers, with Charis Knighton leading and Sally Clark and Laura Scragg not far behind. Remember the results from the first week or two may be a bit misleading, as not all teams have played games which contribute to the Fantasy League (for example, the Harriers only have 9 games in their season so all the ones which have already taken place will count for points, and all remaining ones count for double points!). Each team has 13 participating games - to find out which ones are included, check out the ‘Fixtures’ tab on the website. The early leader on the Team front is Molly Warne’s ‘The Best Team Ever!' with Ian McGregor’s Aussie’s Heroes not far behind. Sue Clark is then just ahead of daughter Sally with Linda Phillips’ ‘Spitfires’ making up the top five.
