Alfaz Fantasy Football League
There was one Monday night game between a rampant Wolves team and a rejuvenated Newcastle side which finished 1-1 thanks to Dubravka's mistake and only five 5th round F.A. Cup ties which included Premier League teams that contributed to this week’s Alfaz Fantasy Football League only 14 goals, 3 clean sheets, 12 yellow cards and no red ones. With most, Premier League managers not selecting their strongest XI it meant a very low scoring week for the Fantasy with the average score a lowly 7 points.
John's team Wee Aggies held on to the top spot of the A.F.F.L. for the 18th week running and have in recent weeks had their advantage at the Summit cut to only 14 points by Andrew's team Ballers. Nick's Black Cats have got their tails up again and have moved into 3rd place 3 points ahead of Linda's Team Tapas.
Down in the Doldrums, Gary's Upside Team have been stuck at the bottom for the last 19 weeks and it is a more than likely to pick up the 1st Wooden Spoon of the season as they are now lagging behind Richard's Dunkrats by 92 points.
Linda's Team Tapas suffered a setback this week only scoring 2 points which have allowed Barbra's XI to cut the deficit at the top of our Mark Carter Ladies Section to 19 points. Down at the other end of the table, Sandra's Brazilian Hooligans are just 10 points away from Kim's Ginger United.
T.J's Blue Moon F.C. became the 4th team to reach the Summit of our Junior League when they took advantage of Manchester City's 4-1 victory at Rodney Parade and replaced Olly F.C. at the top by just 6 points.
This Division is going to go right down to the wire with only 14 points separating the top 5. We can't say the same at the other end of the table, with Fleetwood Gian now allowing Tom's Real City to escape from the relegation zone and leaving the Codheads 48 points behind.
With so few goals being scored points were hard to come by in our Across the Costa's Golden Boot League. Bill's East Fifers didn't pick up any points this week but they still kept hold of the top spot keeping Nick's Black Cats at bay by 12 points. Two teams are in joint 3rd place; Kenny's Albir Boro Army and Kevin's Two for the Road both on 507 points.
The tussle at the bottom is between Gary's Upside Team and Ross's Caspers Bar who both failed to collect any points this week.
The gap at the top of our Champion of Champions League is slowly closing with Joe's team Keith Lard F.C.only 7 points behind the Leaders Pauline's Vodka Army.
Keith's Max & Paddy are also in contention in 3rd place. Down at the foot of the table, would you believe it Dave's team The Hatters have finally got off the bottom after being there all Season and left Leo's Power Blueboys trailing in their wake by 6 points!
We have six teams going into our monthly wine draw and they are our top scoring team for the 2nd week running Jimmy's Nick's Blues who scored a very respectable 35 points courtesy of Manchester City's young talent Phil Foden.
Five teams finished up with the lowest score, which was a minus one, and they were Mof Town, Terrible Trio, Third time Lucky, Doody Dan and Chicken Tikka Mosalah.
Manager of the month for February is being kindly sponsored by Jordi at the Kasbrane in Albir who provide a vast international menu at reasonable prices along with an excellent view of the Albir Playa.
With one week to go Jimmy's Nick's Blues have taken a slight 5-point lead over Linda's Team Tapas. Eric's City Slickers are in 3rd place just ahead of Sarah's team The Dons.
There was a new team at the top of our F.A.Cup League after the 5th Round F.A.Cup Ties where Jimmy's team Nick's Blues have taken over from Dave's team The Hatters who have slipped down to third. Liz's Cookies Crew remain in 2nd place 14 points behind the Leaders. Two Liverpool supporters are managers at the bottom of this league and are both cemented at the base Tommy's Quantrill's Raiders and Dave's team The Liverpool Way are both on 3 points thanks to the Reds early exit to the hungry Wolves.
All our Leagues remain very open as we head towards the last third of the season. Based on past history it suggests that the teams left with Players in the F.A.Cup will have a much better chance of lifting our much sought after Fantasy League Trophy.
