Round 1 - A good start for some

Well done to @TheMightyOstrich (I presume that is Martin Ostrich’s forum name) for a good start to the Fantasy Premier League campaign, here’s his team

I would have done much better if I didn’t have Mitrovic on the bench, he scored 13 pts, compared to 1 for Ings

OK, just for me if I haven’t worked out your forum name could you please tell me

Martin Ostrich @TheMightyOstrich
Joelyon Roberts @JxgrSaint
Kevin Hayter @Numptyboi
Simon Goddard @WorzelScummage
Chris Baughan @DellBoy
Bob Bain @BTripz
Rob Blakey @Saint-Rob
Richard Burt @Bucks
Gavin Davis @gavstar
Stewart Cousens @SaintInSaffa

Tough Keeper call…

Round 2 - @TheMightyOstrich continues his good form

@TheMightyOstrich stays at the top of the league with a commendable 70 ppts in the games week, however kudos to @Shroppie who climbs up to 4th place with a very good 82 points, beating 2nd places @gavstar by 11 points.

@Shroppie’s 82 points included 3 Saints players, now that is either confidence or stupidity :slight_smile:

Thanks, i do indeed for the time being.

I just renamed my team for a very good reason. In our family league I just got removed from top spot on alphabetical order. Now I’m Aardvards Anonymous that’s not happening again.

I’m heading your way next week for a four week tour of S African countries

Great @Shroppie, do you know which areas you are visiting yet?

From Capetown to Joburg, Panorama route to Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls then back through Botswana and Namibia

Dr. Livingstone, I presume?

Round 3 - @TheMightyOstrich stretches his lead, is he the one to catch?

Another good week for the @TheMightyOstrich who again top scored this week, 67 points sees him stretch his lead to 28 points from @DellBoy.

I feel that the other players need to up their Fantasy skills and research.

@Saint-Rob and myself swap positions at the bottom of the table, is this the beginning of a charge up the table for myself, I mean I’m only 71 points behind @TheMightyOstrich

Round 4 - @TheMightyOstrich still at the top, just

A good week for people with Liverpool players in their team, Salah excepting :slight_smile:

@TheMightyOstrich keep his top spot however his lead has been reduced from 28 to 22 points. Unfortunately @Numptyboi drops to the bottom of the table with a not so good week, not as bad as @Shroppie’s to be fair who has fallen, nay plummeted, from 6th to 11th!!

I suppose an honourable mention should go to @Polski_Filip for his 80 points

Next round starts tomorrow night, so get your transfers and team sorted toot de sweet.
