The two big movers this week collectively amass more than 140 points between them; Neil Sherwins @bpfootball eased his way up to second thanks to his շe֬l score more than you philosophyՠapproach to the game banging 10 goals from the first two weeks (573rd in the country) #NoMeanFeat. Adam Քhe TinkermanՠRichmansՠBrooklyn Wanderers score the highest weekly total, well done that man but question marks over sustainability is prevalent as our Atlantic cousin has already dipped heavily into the transfer market!
Geordie Ex-Pat Warren Barton props up the All Star League, maybe it’s time for a little of that Crazy Gang Team Spirit to muster the troops and prove you can hack it with the Big Boys?! Forget San Diego my friend, this is what really matters ɠKatie Edwards is keeping the girls in touch with solid 51 points but special mention must go to Claire Knight and her Krider2010 kickabout side who fell from 8th to 19th with an unspectacular 21 points Рwhat a difference a week makes! #SlipperySlope
Manchester was once again the talk of the terraces, this time the Red of United were left to ponder life without Wazza as the unlucky 68th minute substitute was stretchered off with one serious looking gash down the inside of his thigh. Early prognosis is not good and the striker could be out for up to eight weeks, although we wouldnִ be surprised to see Rooney back in September. Almost unnoticed outside of Liverpool was the disappointing news that Lucas could be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. After his well documented return from a serious ACL injury the midfielder had been showing some signs of getting back to his best but suffered a thigh strain early on against Man City. More news will be made available in the coming days but Rodgers is fearing the worst with the midfielder potentially out for around two months suggesting a Grade Two tear.
Which almost brings this weeks quick round-up to a close, other than to quickly mention that yours truly still remains in top position! Albeit by the tiniest of margins, The Big Gun has laid down his challenge, can anyone rise to it?
