Ah, my return to last season’s form has begun… about time too, my wooden spoon drawer is in need of a top up!
WTF is that? I suspect it’s wildly inaccurate.
I won a round?
How?
Awesome
Meanwhile
I STILL have 2 Saints players in my squad and I am NOT bottom of our FPL League?
Madness
Oh wow, was my last update really on Round 7, oh well, 5 rounds to catch up with, here we go :-
Round 8
Joint for @Goatboy and @Dizzyfeet , both got 12 points from 6 correct outcomes, 2 exact
for @lifeintheslowlane who managed a miserly 5 points from 4 correct outcomes
@sainthugh still at the top of the leader board, @Cobham-Saint still at the bottom
Round 9
for @SimplySaint, 13½ points from 6 correct outcomes, beating me by 2 points
@sainthugh flops this week and get the with 2½ points from 2 correct outcomes.
He still tops the leader board though, with a reduced lead of 4 points, down from 12
@Cobham-Saint is STILL at the bottom and doesn’t look like he’ll budge anytime soon
Round 10
Decent performance from @TheMightyOstrich this round, 14 points from his 5 correct outcomes, 4 exact, gives him the
@Saint-Rob is bottom of the pile this round, 2½ points from 2 correct outcomes
@sainthugh’s lead at the top is reduced further to 1½ points, @TheMightyOstrich climbs to just 2 points from the top.
@Cobham-Saint…you know the reset
Round 11
ANOTHER for @TheMightyOstrich, by ½ point from @SimplySaint, 5 correct outcomes in his 11½ points, 2 exact
@DellBoy props up the players this week with 4 points from 3 correct outcomes.
@TheMightyOstrich now jumps to the top of the leader board, overtaking @JxgrSaint and now leads by 1½ points.
The bottom of the leader board hasn’t changed
Round 12
@Polski_Filip earns his 2nd of the season with a score of 11 points this round, 1 point ahead of the nearly man @SimplySaint. @Polski_Filip had 5 correct outcomes, 2 exact.
@sainthugh has had a recent downturn in form and takes this round’s , he got 3 correct outcomes but they were ‘result’ only.
@TheMightyOstrich is still at the top, only ½ point ahead of @JxgrSaint.
The bottom 2 stay the same
I’m following the RM playbook - Being wildly optimistic about my selections and expected results, but getting it consistently wrong in oh so many ways…
With the majority of Premier League results being decided off-pitch I’m finding it hard to give a shit.
I now consider The Wooden Spoon a badge of honour.

Leaderboard at Round 20
The secret ingredient is predicting us to lose at least 3-0 every week
I’m assuming team in each fixture is Southampton- my position at the bottom of the league if proof the method is working……
I never predict a defeat for our side no matter what. That gives me a good opportunity to fill one of the SuperBru relegation positions. Factor in VAR unpredictability and I present an air of a know-nothing beginner. How far from the truth is that!
Give us a clue wheres the table ?
How many Sherries have you had today?
How the hell would i know ?
Correct answer

I’ll try and do weekly updates from now for the last 5 rounds…
I’ve gone full Spursy…
To be fair there’s only 12 points that separate the top 5 so it could, realistically, go to any one of those…
