FFL Week 32


Sphincters will be tight as we navigate our FFL dreadnoughts through the narrow straights of the closing weeks. Well, two sphincters will be tight; the rest of us can sit back and contemplate another season of overpriced flops, bad transfers and untimely injuries.

And if this past week is anything to go by the drama will be nail-biting and unpredictable. Who foresaw four goals for Arsenal, let alone Arshavin, at Anfield? And what about Donald's new boy Mark Noble missing a penalty against Chelsea, essentially costing him six points (Alex picking up another clean sheet for Chelsea).

Had James not had an impressive week himself, with 19 points, Donald's 31 would have put him in the lead. And with just 13 points separating them, James will be hoping that Adebayor gets his act together for the last few games of the season. Donald's remaning transfer could come into play too.

Donald used one of his two remaning transfers to replace the crocked Jagielka with Yobo.

FFL Week 31

As the rest fade away, step forward Donald. Quite how he's managed to mount a challenge with Jo and Alves up front for most of the season is beyond the ken of your humbler than humble chairman. But 66 points from Frank Lampard - with 14 in the last three weeks alone - helps, as does a strong defence with Jagielka, Terry and Evra.

Donald's 12-point week seems him pull to within 25 points of James and, crucially, before the goal-orgy at Anfield on Tuesday. Oh what end-of-season drama awaits us this season my fellow managers.

Here are the scores:

Finally reaslising that he's on the cusp on joining the hat-trick club, Donald makes two of his remaining four transfers, buying Noble and Schwartzer for Nani and Given. About time too. And Sid snaps up yet another full back, with Ivanovic replacing Curtis Davies. Just before John O'Shea and Gary Neville got injured in midweek. How I laughed.

FFL Week 30

Apologies. I've been busy with shit.

Judging by the dearth of comments, no one really cares much for an update anyway. Let's face it - we all sense a creeping futility in the universe of FFL. With time running out, the lead seems to be getting stretched every week.

It's interesting to note, though, that James's lead of 31 points almost corresponds to the contribution made by his last 3 subs - Leighton Baines, Matt Taylor and Adebayor - who have scored 32 points since bought. They alone scored 14 points between them last weekend. And that's where this game is either won or lost.
