FFL Week 12

I've had my disappointments in life - failed exams, unrequited love, living in Scotland - but nothing compares to being out for the day, coming home to discover that Spurs have put nine goals past Wigan, then logging on to BBC Sport with an enormous bulge in your pants only to find that Robbie Keane spent the entire match on the bench. Bloody international weeks.

But enough about me. Because my loss was Donald's gain, with Defoe scoring five of Tottenham's goals and contributing more than half of Donald's monumental score of 28 points this week. Malouda's 7 points are also worth a mention.

And let's not forget Stathi, who was looking like surrendering the top spot until Aaron Lennon chipped in with a goal and three assists. But for Lennon's 9 points he would've been the week's lowest scorer; that honour now passes to Theo, who only managed 4 points.

It's tight between the top five, with a gap opening between 5th and 6th. The scores:

Diff			Total Points
	1st	Stathi	147
7	2nd	Rico	140
10	3rd	Don	137
13	4th	Nick Ath	134
14	5th	James	133
36	6th	Theo	111
39	7th	Sid	108
45	8th	Nick Ach	102
56	9th	Mike	91

Two transfers to report this week. Mike bought the fit-again Stuart Downing for the injured Steven Pienaar, and Donald outbid Sid for Chelsea's Alex, getting rid of Jonny Evans.

The FFL table is beginning to look rather like the Premier League table, with four teams beginning to pull away a little and a couple more hovering in the Europa League places. As for Mike, it's already looking like a long, hard slog.

Manager of the week, with 17 points for the second week in a row, goes to me, despite Man City's defence developing more leaks than muslin nappy. That's 44 points in 3 weeks, after managing only 22 in the previous 5. There's hope for you yet, Mike. John Terry was the main contributor, with 6 points against Man United on Sunday.

Last week's joint top scorer, Nick PC, was this week's lowest, with zero. O Fortuna, thou art wicked and capricious...

The table looks like this:

	1st	Stathi	136
9	2nd	James	127
11	3rd	Rico	125

29	6th	Theo	107
33	7th	Sid	103
42	8th	Nick Ach	94
56	9th	Mike	80

No transfers to report. A boring week of friendlies coming up so back in a fortnight.

FFL Week 10

Fortunes can hardly get more mixed than they did this week, with two managers sharing the top score of 17 and one propping up the rest with a single point. And even then, one of the top-scoring managers - Nick PC, who managed 17 points - would've scored 20 if he hadn't sold Deco and bought Joe Cole the previous weekend.

Two assists and a clean sheet from Sagna had much to do with Nick's score, and he is joined by me and my Man City-dependant team, also with 17 points. Don was the big loser this week, with the 1 point.

The scores are:

9	2nd	James	117
11	3rd	Rico	115

No transfers to report this week.
