Month 7 March 2021
Month 7 March, saw a return to the dreaded International break, where England try out 100 players over 3 games but still no place for Mark Noble. Barney Le Fevre consolidated his lead Adam Kilbride has also consolidated in 2nd place, and opened up a nice gap to Stewart Murdoch in 3rd place. David Groves and Jason Parsons make up the Top 5. Barney is on 1928 points, Adam on 1907 points and Stewart on 1858 points.
MOTM for March was a tie between Dickon Payne and Gary Earle. Dickon played his 'Free Hit' in Week 29 to try and secure the win but his Captain Aubameyang ultimately let him down. Gary played his 'Wildcard' and nearly pulled it off with an impressive 81 points but both players had to settle for a tie. Dickon and Gary finished on 217 points, with Matt Saxby just behind in 3rd place with 214 points. Both players win £30 each.
I played my 'Triple Captain' to try and kick start my month. The Captain (Gundogan) did okay but most of the others let me down. The rest of the month was average fare and I consolidated 'mid table obscurity'.
Rollover '100' - First person to score exactly 100 points wins £25, the last person will win £100. We didn't have to wait very long as in Week 2 new player Hazar Khan scored the magical 100 points to bag himself an early £25. However, this was matched in Week 14 by Trish Dutfield / Dave Targett, then in Week 22 Road Man put himself in pole position, only to be knocked off by Neil Pattison and Richard Collins in Week 26. Loads more players have come very close scoring 99 and 101 points. No prizemoney at the moment, *remember the last person(s) to score 100 points in the season wins the £100 jackpot.
The Kick Off Cup entered the Quarter Final stage in March 2021 with the Top 8 players for the MONTH of February being whittled down to the final 4 players in March. The lucky player qualifying in 4th place was Adam Kilbride. The unlucky player who just missed out by 2 points was Hazar Khan (see right for the 4 qualifiers for the Semi Finals). The Top 2 of those 4 in the MONTH of April will qualify for the Final.
Highest Weekly Score Leader - The first Highest Weekly score was in Week 2 with Hazar Khan scoring 100 points, that was overtaken in Week 14 by Barney Le Fevre with 103 points but that was blown out of the water in Week 19 by Metin H scoring a massive 140 points. He played Bench Boost which yielded 29 points and John Stones scored a massive 27 points on his own. Remember its the score shown on the website, so isn't adjusted for extra transfers.
The TJG League is led by Adam Kilbride on 1907 points, Mike Barnard is 2nd but a long way back with 1835 points and Andy Barnett 3rd on 1829 points. Joe Stone just outside the podium places on 1816 points.
