Kick Off Fantasy Football 2021 / 2022

Week - 12

Overall - My lead only lasted a week with Andy Salmons reclaiming top spot with 665 points, Alister Baldwin in 2nd on 659 points, then Nathan Sims in 3rd on 633 points and Jon Banks close behind in 4th on 631 points. 

A bit of a reality check this week for me. I played the 'Bench Boost' a week early only scoring 4 points, when this week I left 25 points on the bench with Harry Kane, Scott Dann and Martin Stekelenburg warming their backsides!  Plus my Captain Mahrez gave a penalty to J...

Week - 11

Overall - We have another new leader, yours truly, Alister Baldwin with 616 points. Andy Salmons drops to 2nd with 605 points, then Jon Banks and Nathan Sims are tied for 3rd on 597 points. 

A very good week for me, Top of the league and MOTM for October. I did use one of my lifelines though, 'Bench Boost' which yielded a massive 4 points! Kolarov missed a late penalty and I had Arouna Koné in my team until 2 weeks ago!

MOTW - Will Donnelly with a massive 80 points. A very good midfi...

Week - 10

Overall - Andy Salmons still but his lead has been cut to 5 points. Andy leads on 564 points with Nathan Sims 2nd on 559 points and Alister Baldwin has moved into 3rd place on 545 points. Max Richardson has slipped to 4th on 532 points.

Another good week for me, with reward for sticking with Harry Kane and my Goalkeeper actually kept a clean sheet for the first time this season! Up to a season high 3rd place.

MOTW - Aaron Rhodes with an impressive 61 points in a low scoring week. 

MOTM...

Week - 9

Overall - Andy Salmons has taken over at the top after having the foresight to replace Aguero with Bony as Captain. Andy leads on 524 points with Nathan Sims slipping to 2nd on 513 points and Max Richardson up to 3rd on 493 points.

Not such a great week after my heroics last week. I was sort of forced to play All Out Attack as only 2 of my defenders played and scored 0 points, so essentially my 5 defenders scored 0 points. My week was saved by 2 West Ham midfielders scoring 2 late goa...

Week - 8

Overall - Nathan Sims still leads but the chasing pack is getting closer all the time.  Nathan leads with 456 points from Jon Banks with 449 points. Andy Salmons is in 3rd place with 445 points and myself (Alister Baldwin) is up to 4th place with 442 points. So only 14 points between 1st and 4th.

My best week ever in over 10 years of playing Fantasy Football! Aguero (Capt.) 50 points, Pelle 14 pts, De Bruyne 15 pts, Sanchez 16 pts and Payet 10 pts. Could have been even better as 6 play...

Week - 7

Overall - Nathan Sims still leads but we're coming to get him! Nathan leads with 360 points from Andy Salmons with 349 points. Jon Banks has moved into 3rd place with 337 points and Ben Wheelhouse is in 4th place with 332 points. I'm only 4 points back in 5th!

Another good week for me and I had Alexis Sanchez in my team (not Captain though). Feel slightly hard done by though, my first reserve, Kone scored 4 points but he didn't count as I had 2 defenders not play! up to 5th place. 

MOTW...

Week - 6

Overall - We have a new leader with Nathan Sims continuing his great form in September. Nathan leads with 321 points from former leader Andy Salmons with 313 points. Max Richardson has moved into 3rd place with 292 points and Jon Banks stays in 4th place with 286 points.

It just shows how much your fortunes can fluctuate at this stage of the season. On Saturday night I'd slipped to 24th place after starting the day in 14th, however by the end of Sunday I had recovered to a season high ...

Week - 5

Overall - Andy Salmons still leads with 265 points but only by 7 points from Nathan Sims, who had a storming week. Marc O'Brien has moved up to 3rd place on 245 points. Jon Banks has slipped into 4th place but still well placed on 243 points.

Same old story for me, right team, right position, wrong player. Steven Naismith gets a hat-trick, I have Arouna Kone! Dimitri Payet gets 2 goals, I have Manuel Lanzini who gets substituted after 58 minutes (Premier League FF equivalent of a kick ...

Week - 4

Overall - Andy Salmons retained top spot going into the international break with 217 points. Jon Banks has moved into 2nd place on 197 points and early leader Craig Burkert has dropped back to 3rd place just 2 points behind on 197 points. 

I had some good fortune for a change. I had Joel Ward as 2nd reserve but fortunately he was needed and scored me 8 points. Also my 3rd reserve Steven Whittaker wasn't required with his -3 points.

MOTW - Marc O'Brien, Dave Lamb and Stephen Desmond sha...
