Month 5 December 2019
It's incredibly close at the top with only 12 points separating the top 7 players. Dave Groves has moved up one place to lead on 1150 points. Seamus Tunney is 2nd on 1146 points, Mike Barnard 1145 points and Ade Horn 1144 points. The rest of the top 7 aren't far behind on 1138 points.
MOTM for December was Darryl Bate for the second time this season. It was a long month with 6 Game Weeks, which Darryl won 2 of them as well. Darryl was very consistent with a good varying of his captain to score 380 points. Only 5 points behind was Ade Horn after a valiant attempt to win MOTM. Darryl wins £40 and Ade £20, Joe Stone was just out of the prize money.
A poor month for me only scoring 306 points and only 42nd for the month, a procession of the wrong captain didn't help. I've moved from 5th to 18th overall.
Rollover '100' - The first person to score exactly 100 points will win £25, the last person will win £100 (could win both if the only person). No one scored 100 points in November, so Steve Lamb with 96 points in Week 1 is on provisional pole but surely just a marker.
The Kick Off Cup started in December 2019 with the Top 32 and tied qualifying for Round 2 in January 2020. Craig Burkert and David George qualified in joint 32nd place, just 1 point ahead of Raj Lal and Ted Barnwell just 1 more point behind.
Highest Weekly Score Leader - Steve Lamb still leads the way with his 96 points in Week 1 but very unlikely to remain that way so early in the season.
The TJG League is led by Seamus Tunney with 1146 points, Mike Barnard 2nd with 1145 points and Darryl Bate 3rd with 1138 points.

Month 4 November 2019
All change at the top with Dickon Payne taking over the lead after week 14. Dave Groves has maintained 2nd place, then we Seamus Tunney, Metin Has and Alister Baldwin, making up the Top 5. Dickon leads with 833 points but only 13 points ahead of Dave on 820 points. The rest of the top 5 aren't far behind.
MOTM for November saw Neil Urmatam think that he'd won at the end of Week 13 only to find out that Week 14 was the end of the month. Fortunately for Neil he played Tripl...

Month 3 October 2019
Metin Has maintained top spot at the end of Month 3 but all change below him with 3 new players in the Top 5. Dave Groves has gone from 4th to 2nd, then we have Rohan Rowat, Ade Horn and Ben Wareing making up the Top 5. Metin leads with 593 points but only 12 points ahead of Dave on 581 points, then a bit of a gap to Rohan on 567 points.
Month 3 was a low scoring month and MOTM went to Mark Lanning with 168 points. In second place was yours truly (Alister Baldwin) only 1 p...

Month 2 September 2019
All change at the top with Metin Has claiming top spot at the end of Month 2. Metin has made good choices for Captain and very consistent for the season. In 2nd place overall is Dickon Payne who is only 3 points behind Metin. 3rd place is Darryl Bate who had a very good month. Dave Groves and Mike Barnard are not far behind in 4th and 5th respectively. Metin leads on 443 points, Dickon on 440 points and Darryl on 428 points.

Month 1 August 2019
Quite a long first month of the season and it turned out to be the Ben & Ben show. Ben Wareing finished in the lead after Week 4 with 266 points with Ben Gale just behind on 259 points. Former Champion Barney Le Fevre makes up the Top 3 with 250 points.
Being Month 1 MOTM was obviously also the Ben & Ben show. Ben Wareing had a consistent month switching between Salah and Sterling as Captain. Ben Gale got on the Pukki train in Week 2 but a disappointing Week 4 meant he had t...

Month 10 May 2019
So another exciting season comes to an end and we crown a new Champion. After a great finish to the campaign our 2018 / 19 champion is Craig Burkert.
Craig was relentless in the last few months and managed to beat reigning champion Barney Le Fevre by just 27 points. In 3rd place was early season pace setter Andy Barnett and after a good final month Matt Saxby came in 4th. Dave Groves and Jon Banks had to settle for a share of 5th. Craig won with 2376 points, Barney on 2349 po...

Month 9 April 2019
After a storming 2 months we have a new leader with only 2 weeks to go. Craig Burkert has really set down a marker to lead Barney Le Fevre by just 11 points. It all makes for an exciting finish to the season with Andy Barnett, Dave Groves and Jon Banks, still with an outside chance of victory. Craig leads on 2268 points, Barney on 2257 points then a bit of a gap to Andy on 2214 points and Dave on 2211 points.
I have effectively given up I think as I keep forgetting to pick my...

Month 8 March 2019
Barney Le Fevre has maintained his lead at the top. Marvin Simmonds has dropped off the leaderboard, leaving Andy Barnett as the nearest challenger, with Craig Burkert moving into contention. Andy Salmons and Matt Saxby make up the top 5. Barney leads on 1950 points, Andy on 1917 points and Craig on 1910 points.
I had another poor month, Paul Pogba Captain -2 points and a complete waste of my Free Hit. I've become the West Ham of the Kick Off league (mid table no chance of si...

Month 7 February 2019
Last years Champion Barney Le Fevre has risen to the Top of the league after Month 7 (what does he know that we don't?) He's also opened up a nice little lead over Marvin Simmonds, who's moved up himself into 2nd Place. Long time leader Andy Barnett has dropped down to 3rd overall after a poor February. Barney leads with 1729 points, Marvin has 1693 points, then Andy on 1685 points.
I had an okay month but nothing spectacular. The beauty of this competition is though a new...

A new year but no change in the Top 2, Andy Barnett has retained the lead from Barney Le Fevre, with Marvin Simmonds moving up into 3rd place. Andy leads with 1488 points, Barney 1481 points, then a bit of a gap to Marvin on 1442 points.
I was concentrating in staying in the Cup so played my second wildcard, only for it to go horribly wrong, only scoring 36 points and missing out on qualification by 7 points! Not all bad though, I have managed to secure mid table obscurity ...
