A2K Fantasy Premier League 2020 - 21.

Up next it's the Scopy's V the Unforgiven.

Be sure to wear your jockstrap.

In the Classic league.
The Unforgiven replace the Riders who drop to second at the top of the league. The Scopy's drop to third and the Mohawks stay fourth.
Touch of the Lanigans Ball at the top of the Classic league, who'll step in next week.

In the Head to Head league.
The Unforgiven go top of the Head to Head with the Scopy's, the Riders and the Mohawks behind in that order.
There's nothing in it, just 3pts separate the top four.

Week 12 starting tomorrow sees the Maniacs take on the Riders, the Unforgiven against the Scopy's and the Mohawks looking to finish above Average.

Good luck one n' all.

Hoping to step in again

There's a blast from the past! Aisy now, Julia.

I am glad we have sports.

As am I, we'd be lost without our sports.

3 matches left in week 12.

Fulham V Liverpool, Arsenal V Burnley & Leicester V Brighton.

In the Head to Head.

The Mohawks are finishing above Average for sure with a likely 69pts. Good score.

The maniacs have 26pts (1pt on bench) and 1 player to play, Barnes (L)
The Riders have 37pts (*7pts on bench) (1pt bonus-Vestergaard) and 1 player to play, Pope (B).
Riders are looking good.

The Scopy's have 56pts (*2pts on bench) (6pt bonus-Kane) and are finished.
The Unforgiven have 36pts and 3 players to play, Gabriel (A), Schmeichel & Justin (L).
So the Unforgiven need 21pts from those 3 players to beat the Scopy's. Nah...
Scopy's looking good.


*Jota's not playing.

As expected the Mohawks & the Riders won their games.
The only surprise was the Unforgiven getting a draw with the Scopys's.
The Unforgiven stay tops but on game points only.

I was disappointed in drawing with Arsenal.

How times have changed.

The schedule is really crowded.
I wonder how many of the heavy hitters will be getting a rest this week.

Would you look at that...

Apologies for my tardiness but it was a busy w/e, all sorts of shenanigans going on.

I'm going to become a Granddad next year, first time. I'm happy of course but sad too that my other half isn't here to share in it.
After the w/e I now know the gender of my future grandchild. I really didn't want to know but I do whether I like it I not.
The drama of it all.
All (immediate family) gathered round for the surprise, boy or girl ?.
Pink & blue cake (which one will she cut first.) Pink & blue party poppers, pink & blue mini GAA jerseys ..... such drama, unbelievable.

I can only imagine they'll have a ticker tape parade up O'Connell St for the naming of the poor child. (sigh).


Anyhoo, back to the footie.

In the Classic League,

The Unforgiven stay tops for the Christmas closely followed by the Riders.
The Scopy's and Mohawks, third and fourth not far behind.
The Maniacs bringing up the rear.


In the Head to Head,

The Unforgiven had to pull out all the stops to beat the unmanaged Maniacs.
Unmanaged or not the Maniacs put up a good score.
A high Average this week 60pts, but the Riders rose above it to win with a tasty 74pts.
The Mohawks with an above average 62pts beat the Scopy's by 7pts.

So the Mohawks are tops for the Christmas with the Unforgiven and the Riders 3 & 4pts behind.
The Scopy's are 8pts off the lead in fourth while the Maniacs and Average are 15pts off the lead.

Game week 15 starts on the 26th quickly followed by game week 16 on the 28th, fast and furious.

A Merry Christmas to you all and a big thank you for playing the game.

It's a busy time so no need for apologies. A toast to you and your soon-to-be extended family. May ye all be healthy and wealthy and well.

Merry Christmas to all.

And a merry Christmas to yourself and all this fine crew.

Congratulations on your impending graddadness.
Post pictures of the parade.

Others have said it better, but it's a big deal continuing your line. Congrats!

Thanks McG, George and Imur.

Wishing you all a merry Christmas.

You too Tico.
