Month 3 October 2021
Month 3 October, and the Fantasy Kick Off league saw a significant change at the top. Leader Marvin Simmonds dropped out of the top 5, Joe Stone jumped from 3rd to Top, and Andy Barnett moved up to 2nd place. Reigning champion Adam Kilbride is in 3rd place, with Max Richardson making a significant move up to 4th. Only 12 points separates Joe Stone (691 points) and Max Richardson (679 points).
MOTM for October was Max Richardson with a very impressive 290 points. Max was well clear of Seamus Tunney in 2nd place on 271 points.  Andy Barnett finished just out of the prize money, 2 points back on 269 points. Max wins £30 and Seamus wins £10.
I had even more of a shocker than last month, somehow ending up with Odsonne Edouard as Captain (4 points) when in the same week Mo Salah scores 24 points against Man Utd. At least I'd got Salah back in my team! Worse was to follow when I forgot to change Captain with Crystal Palace away to Man City.  As it happens Palace won 2 - 0 but Edouard again only scored 4 points. It can only get better! 
Rollover '100' - First person to score exactly 100 points wins £25, the last person will win £100. In Week 9 we had our first person score the magical 100 points. Kieran Follett struck lucky when Jamie Vardy went off injured at half time only scoring 1 point and giving Kieran the 100 points and £25. *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 Highest Weekly score also was in Week 9 with Max Richardson scoring a brilliant 129 points. 48 points for Salah, 24 points for Mount, 18 points for Foden, plus 3 big scores in defence. It's a very good score but will it be enough with the inevitable double weeks to come, with Triple Captain and Bench boost but a great week from Max.
The TJG League is led by Andy Barnett with Adam Kilbride in 2nd, and Paul Rogers has moved up to 3rd.
