Sweet times for Chutney

Sports Staff

The action is hotting up in Phakaaaathi’s Fantasy Premier League, with two rounds so far producing some incredible points-scoring from our leaders.

At the top is Mohamed Mansour and his Balla Chutney FC, who have racked up a brilliant 192 points. Like many, Balla Chutney FC gained last weekend from captaining Sergio Aguero, with the Manchester City striker scoring a hat trick on Sunday against Huddersfield. There was some debate over whether Pep Guardiola would start Aguero, with Gabriel Jesus his other option, but in the end both played and Aguero rewarded his coach and all FPL coaches with a brilliant display.

Chutney FC’s defence also performed well, with Marco Alonso grabbing a goal and an assist in Chelsea’s 3-2 win over Arsenal. Defenders do not necessarily have to keep clean sheets if they are effective at the other end. Benjamin Mendy of Manchester City is another defender making an impact, this weekend he was part of of Vhutshilo Thavhiwa’s Chela Thupa!! team, who are second, a point behind Balla Chutney.
