Kick Off Fantasy Football 2021 / 2022

Week - 22

Overall - After a little rest our leader Andy Salmons is back on it! Andy leads with 1298 points, Alister Baldwin has leapt back into 2nd with 1220 points, then Jon Banks has also jumped up to 3rd with 1212 points and Mark Lanning is just behind with 1211 points.

A good week (always helps to pick a good Captain) and Aguero back in form. Back in 2nd place overall after an Igahlo, Lukaku, Vardy onslaught in the last 2 months! 

MOTW - Max Richardson with a very impressive 82 points. This...

Week - 21

Overall - Another quiet week for our leader Andy Salmons, Andy leads with 1233 points,  Mark Lanning is 2nd with 1158 points, then very close Josef Freedman with 1157 points,  Martin Smith with 1155 points and Alister Baldwin with 1154 points.

A stroke of luck this week! My team only scored 20 points but Kolorov didn't come on so my 1st reserve came into play, Giroud with 13 points plus my reserve goalie chipped in with 7 points, to double my score to 40 points.  

MOTW - Marc O'Brien f...

Week - 20

Overall - A rare bad week for our leader Andy Salmons, only scoring 26 points. The only person to take advantage was Jon Banks who scored 54 points and moved back into 2nd place having slipped out of the top 4 last week. Andy leads with 1196 points, Jon Banks is 2nd with 1129 points, very closely followed by Mark Lanning with 1125 points and Martin Smith who dropped to 4th place with 1120 points.

Not a great week but not many did have. I finally put Mahrez as Captain and he rewarded m...

Week - 19

Overall - So at the half way stage Andy Salmons continues to increase his lead. Andy leads with 1170 points, Martin Smith has moved into 2nd with 1094 points, very closely followed by Mark Lanning with 1090 points and Alister Baldwin has dropped to 4th place with 1080 points.

An almost disastrous week was saved (literally) by Kasper Schmeichel with 10 points against Man City. It wasn't however enough to save me in the First Round of the TJG Cup.

MOTW - For the second time in 3 weeks MO...

Week - 18

Overall - Andy Salmons has pulled out a very healthy lead. Andy leads with 1089 points, then comes Jon Banks in 2nd with 1027 points, very closely followed by Alister Baldwin in 3rd place with 1026 points and Martin Smith with 1018 points.

I recovered well this week and even had a stroke of luck! Aguero was Captain but didn't play, which meant that Harry Kane got 26 points and my first reserve scored 7 points. After dropping alarmingly last week, I'm right back in business only 1 poin...

Week - 17

Overall - Andy Salmons still leads but it's all change behind him. Andy leads with 1013 points, then comes Jon Banks in 2nd with 957 points, closely followed by Martin Smith in 3rd place with 955 points and Josef Freedman with 947 points.

My team has "dropped quicker than a one legged man in an arse kicking competition". I'd somehow managed to cling onto 2nd place but this week the elevator was only going down, to 8th place. I've completely missed the boat with Igahlo, Lukaku, Vardy a...

Week - 16

Overall - No change in the Top 4 but Andy Salmons increased his lead again over Alister Baldwin to 55 points. Andy Salmons leads with 939 points, Alister Baldwin in 2nd on 884 points, then Jon Banks has closed the gap to just 5 points in 3rd place on 879 points with Ben Wheelhouse very close behind in 4th on 877 points. 

My team continues to fall apart before my eyes! Aguero didn't return, Kolorov didn't play,  Hazard went off injured. At least Chamakh played for 1 minute to get me a ...

Week - 15

Overall - Andy Salmons increased his lead again over Alister Baldwin to 44 points. Andy Salmons leads with 887 points, Alister Baldwin in 2nd on 843 points, then Jon Banks has closed the gap to just 14 points in 3rd place on 829 points with Ben Wheelhouse close behind in 4th on 819 points. 

My team is falling apart before my eyes! Added to that I made the bizarre decision to pick Hazard as Captain. At least Scott Dann scored against Everton but would've been better if Lukaku didn't ge...

Week - 14

Overall - Another good week for Andy Salmons as he increased his lead over Alister Baldwin to 35 points. Andy Salmons leads with 824 points, Alister Baldwin in 2nd on 789 points, then Jon Banks is back to 3rd place on 760 points with Ben Wheelhouse close behind in 4th on 753 points. 

It was the week my luck finally ran out. I've not picked Vardy because I didn't want to curse him, I haven't got Lukaku or Ighalo like everyone else. I used an extra transfer to get Aguero in as Captain a...
