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. :rage:

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 :chapeau_jeune: for @Goatboy and @Dizzyfeet , both got 12 points from 6 correct outcomes, 2 exact

:wooden_spoon: 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

:chapeau_jeune: for @SimplySaint, 13½ points from 6 correct outcomes, beating me by 2 points

@sainthugh flops this week and get the :wooden_spoon: 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 :chapeau_jeune:

@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 :chapeau_jeune: 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 :chapeau_jeune: 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 :wooden_spoon: , 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…

:lou_sad:

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. :fu:

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! :crazy_face:

:roll_eyes:

Give us a clue wheres the table ?

How many Sherries have you had today?

Update - Rounds 21 to 27

I’m getting a bit lax at these updates aren’t I :slight_smile:, oh well only 11 rounds left in the season, maybe time to start doing weekly ones again…if I can be arsed.

Full Leaderboard

@JxgrSaint has finally be replaced at the top by @BTripz.
@Saint-Rob appears to be rooted to the bottom of the table.

I’ll try and do weekly updates from now for the last 5 rounds…

I’ve gone full Spursy… :roll_eyes:

To be fair there’s only 12 points that separate the top 5 so it could, realistically, go to any one of those…
