FFL Weeks 19 & 20

Happy New Year gentlemen. May 2016 bring joy, happiness, health and wealth for you and your families.

 

This crazy, unpredictable, tactically lacking, technically devoid league of ours continues to bring an equal measure of smiles and frustration!

 

With the Christmas period now over, the bumper number of games has yielded the following points over the last two game days. 

 

The reason I’m putting it as a table is for you to check although I will also send the spreadsheet for those that way inclined……..Anal-retentive doyens James and Harry please step forward. 

By the way did you know that ‘anal-retentiveness’ comes from Freudian psychoanalysis? Freud hypothesised that children who experience conflicts during the anal stimulation period which follows the oral stimulation period of time may develop "anal" personality traits, namely those associated with a child's efforts at excretory control: orderliness, stubbornness and a compulsion for control.

 

Two week points table:

 

Manager	Week 19	Week 20	Christmas total
Mike	21	8	29
James	17	1	18
Stathi	12	6	18
Harry	22	11	33
McNick	14	13	27
Sid	-6	8	2
Theo	8	2	10
Nick PC	15	8	23
Don	3	3	6

 

So the “Christmas Star on the Tree” award goes to Harry with an impressive 33 points over two game days helped by Arnautovic’s 7 points haul – pity the tramp couldn’t do much last night against the vermin.

 

The “Christmas Turkey Leftovers” award goes to Sid with a paltry (poultry?) 2 thanks to Everton conceding 4 at Stoke leaving Stones and Howard with -3 each. 

 

Even after so many games the table largely resembles the one before the festive and calorific period. 

 

Current Table:  

 

Diff			Total Points	Defence	Midfield	Attack
	1st	Mike	230	67	92	71
24	2nd	James	206	45	111	50
48	3rd	Stathis	182	67	51	61
59	4th	Harry	171	40	65	66
62	5th	Nick Ath	168	62	60	46
78	6th	Sid	152	46	75	34
86	7th	Theo	144	69	38	35
116	8th	Nick Ach	114	42	49	18
119	9th	Don	111	13	47	51

 

One transfer to note…..and it’s a risk:

 

Mike:

Ayew OUT Rooney IN

 

FA Cup this weekend so sit back and relax.

FFL Week 18

A quick Boxing Day update…….

The gap to the top closes significantly as I manage to win the Per “oh, I’m supposed to track my man, go for a header and run for the ball?” Mertesacker award for shit score of the week with minus 1.

With James scoring 13 and Stathi 15 it was a good day for the chasers.

However the Mauricio “coming after you” Pochettino award for score of the day goes to Sid with a fantastic 23 points.

No transfers before last night’s deadline.

Table:

Diff			Total Points	Def	Mid	Att
	1st	Mike	201	49	89	63
13	2nd	James	188	35	106	47
37	3rd	Stathis	164	58	51	52
51	4th	Sid	150	46	72	32
63	5th	Harry	138	26	51	61
63	6th	Nick Ath	138	51	46	41
67	7th	Theo	134	62	38	32
93	8th	Don	108	10	47	51
110	9th	Nick Ach	91	19	49	18

Until next week
