Month 1 August 2021
The Fantasy Premier League is back for a new season, with full stadiums and Cristiano Ronaldo to come! We welcome a few new players but have lost a few as well but still ended up with 47 players, which is still good (Prize money above)
Month 1 August, and the Fantasy Kick Off league saw a rapid start by Marvin Simmonds, breaking 100 points in Week1. Marvin managed to maintain the lead up to the end of August, 6 points clear of Jon Banks, and 7 points clear of Barney Le Fevre and Joe Stone. Reigning champion Adam Kilbride is only 2 points further back. 
MOTM for August was of course Marvin Simmonds. He held off a late challenge from Jon Banks, to claim the first Prize Money of the season. Unfortunately with the reduced number of players, the MOTM prize money is reduced this season. Marvin wins £30 and Jon wins £10. Barney Le Fevre and Jon Banks were the unlucky players, missing out on second by just one point.
I got off to a flyer, with Bruno Fernandes as Captain scoring 40 points. However, my new found optimism didn't even last the first weekend! Not too bad a start overall for the first month, in 22nd place.  
Rollover '100' - First person to score exactly 100 points wins £25, the last person will win £100. We didn't have anyone claim 100 points in August but I think it was 5 players scored 99 points or 101 points. They are technically in the lead but I'm sure the 100 point Jackpot will go at some point in the season.  *remember the last person(s) to score 100 points in the season wins the £100 jackpot.
The Kick Off Cup starts in December 2021.
Highest Weekly Score  - The first Highest Weekly score was in Week 1 with Marvin Simmonds scoring 107 points. He had Salah as captain, Fernandes, Antonio and Benrahma all scoring double figures. It's early days with the inevitable double weeks to come, with Triple Captain and Bench boost but a great week from Marvin.
The TJG League is also led by Marvin and Jon, with Adam Kilbride in 3rd, and Darryl Bate in 4th.
