FFL Week 3

As soon as we get started, we have to take a back seat to international football shite…

Week 3 of FFL gave us plenty, not least City, United and Chelsea all maintaining their 100% records. Chelsea easily dispatched a poor Burnley team with a routine 3-0 win, giving managers with Chelsea defenders points in the bag – not least Sid with his Ivanovic – Courtois axis giving him 6 points.

Man City look to have already embedded the Pep philosophy and are playing football that is aesthetically pleasing, much to the delight of the Guardiola fanboys who can talk about ‘third man runs’, ‘between the lines’ and ‘passing in triangles’ until they multi-ejaculate in their pants. By the way I fully expect to lose Aguero for three games but that’s cool as it’s the Manc derby next!

United left it late but already it is clear that Mourinho has built another team with power, physical presence and mental fortitude – how long will that last???

Elsewhere, the ‘Wenger-In’ fraternity were happy.

Liverpool were rather Spursy in their draw with Tottenham as profligate finishing meant they didn’t get what their endeavours deserved (is that the definition of Spursy????)

As for FFL, at this early stage, I’m still at the top thanks to 11 points but TC cuts that lead to only three points and top scores this week to take the Raheem ‘I’m back bitches’ Sterling award with 19 big points.

The Joe ‘what the fuck happened’ Hart award goes to Don with a paltry 1 and sees him prop up the table.

First to seventh place is separated by 15 points. A five point gap beyond that to Nick PC with Harry 11 points clear of bottom.

Early season transfers continue with a battle for City’s Bravo with both McNick and Rico not surprisingly battling it out. Only one winner as Hart was valued far higher than Mignolet(themin)

Transfers:

Rico
Hart OUT Bravo IN

Don
Betrand OUT Holgate IN
Navas OUT Fer IN

Stathi

Enjoy (???!!!) the World Cup qualifiers.
