Week 11: Inside Mally's Skull

Big Mal's Skull after it had been
prised open to check for sunshine

It's cold, it's dark. And that's just Malcolm Pratt's general outlook on life, including his prospects at the start of this season. Presently, however, were you to prise open the big fella's beautiful skull you'd see a completely different disposition, sunnier say, thanks to his FC Maalcoma still sitting pretty atop the table of Fantasy. And all this because the lead Mr Pratt's men have on the rest of the field is so fat that not even a few weeks of others catching up can make much of a dent [in his lead, disposition, skull etc].

This week's Manager of the Week is Rachel Jones whose Double's United notched up 18 points to push themselves up seven points into third.  Remarkably, however, it is Sarah-Jane John's jolly Johnny's Heroes jumping highest this week. Up eight into sixth.

Other than that, furrow your brow and look at West Vam.  While the manager is away in Japland, his untillered team take a turn for the terrible.  -2 points.

Yes, minus two.

Happy Birthday Craig McHugh for Monday.  So far so good.

Week 09 & 10: Massive Leap

Craig McHugh massively leaps six

Minted and the Pyeators make up another 4 points on Leaders Maalcoma whilst the Manager of the Week certificate this week goes to the wonderful Craig McHugh. 17 points sees his Real Mcdrid massively leap six places in the league into sixth.

Everyone look in shame at Rachel Jones. Down six.

Such a shame, such a shame.

Week 08: Glass Ceilings

They must break through the glass ceiling

Dave Clayton uses another 'Manager of the Week' week to climb into fifth after a certificate grabbing 22 points were gobbled up by his Pyeators. Also this week, Malcolm Pratt's FC Maalcoma has ALREADY passed the 100-point mark with the chasing pack languishing 30+ points behind and Minty Colquhoun's Minted cruising into second.

Meanwhile, with only one male manager in the top four positions in the league, Studmarks poses the question: is it time to call upon the OFFL to bring incentives in for male managers to break through their perceived low-achieving status-ceiling in Fantasy Football? Should male-only lists be drawn up?

You're all lovely.

Week 07: Gripping

Gripping

Manager of the Week is Dave Clayton.  His Pyeaters scoffed a large 24 point portion.

Highest climbers this week are Neil's Diamonds as they jump up ten paces into third.

It's been a gripping week.
