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
