TJG Fantasy Football 2016 / 17 - Month 5 December

Month 5 December 2016
A busy month has seen a breakaway group emerge setting a rare old pace at the top. When the dust had settled at the end of 2016 (well actually 1st Jan) early season leader Karl Jones had regained top spot with 1114 points. Barney Le Fevre had dropped to 2nd on 1093 points, closely followed by Ben Wareing on 1088 points and Danny Barran on 1083 points.
A very average month for me with the highlight being putting Christian Eriksen as captain and scoring 38 points. Another highlight was finally dropping John Stones after scoring an average of a point a week! I feel a second Wildcard coming early January!
MOTM for December was Karl Jones who picks up his 2nd £50 of the season. Karl scored 390 points in December just 5 points more than runner up Danny Barran. Danny picks up £25 for his efforts though. Ben Wareing just missed out only 3 points behind Danny.
Rollover '100' Winner - We have a winner! Trish Dutfield / Dave Targett scored the magic 100 points in week 10 to scoop the £50 Jackpot. The leader of the 2nd rollover is Andy McIntosh with 104 points in Week 14.* I also have some exciting news about the £50 contingency, what ever is left at the end of the season will go to the player who finishes in that position. e.g. if it's still £50 the person who finishes 50th overall will win the money.
The TJG Cup started in December with the Top 32 players in the month of December qualifying for the next round (see below right). Ravi Josh was the final qualifier, with 3 players missing out by 1 point (Nathan Sims, Paul Wheatcroft and Mark Jardine). To qualify in January you have to finish in the Top 16 of those 32 left based on the month of January.
Highest Weekly Score Leader - Andy McIntosh - 104 points (Week 14)
