Alfaz Fantasy Football League

After last week's goal feast in the Premier League, the Alfaz Fantasy Football League slowed down with the average score dropping to just over 18 points (joint lowest of the Season). The full Premier League at the weekend, supplied the A.F.F.L. with 26 goals, 4 clean sheets, 36 yellow cards and 1 red one which was Spur's likeable Son Heung-min who was involved in a horrific ankle injury to Everton's mid-fielder Andre Gomes.

The referees or should I say VAR were not in a giving mood, only awarding 1 penalty which was given to Watford.

Kapur's team Napali Eleven are enjoying a good spell at the top of the Alfaz Fantasy Football League as they made it 6 weeks at the summit.

Currently they hold a slight 6 point lead over Chris's Promotion Again, then comes Martin's Marauders who are well in contention to take over the top spot, being only 10 points behind the leaders.

At the other end of the table, Lyn's Handbrake City have finally landed on the bottom spot and are just 2 points away from Romeo's My Dad Supports Liverpool.

Lyn's team collected the wooden spoon three seasons ago so she is no stranger to life at the bottom.

There is no changes in the top three places in our Junior League although Luca's Lucky Red F.C. did increase their advantage at the top over Harley's Ginger Ninjar to a comfortable 29 points.

Young Olly's team, Olly 11 are still hanging on in 3rd place, but they are now coming under pressure from last season’s winner of this section, William and Henry who are just 1 point behind them.

Down at the bottom, Romeo's My Dad Supports Liverpool, have been there for the last eight weeks and to be fair they don't look likely to get out of their predicament as they are now a massive 55 points adrift of William and Henry Two.

Isobel's team The Bluebells, are sitting comfortably at the top of our Mark Carter Ladies Section with a 11 point gap between the much improved Annette's team, Hairnette who have been on an upward curve in the last few weeks.

Pauline's Vodka Army are in 3rd place and they always stay within striking distance of summit as the season unfolds.

Twelve points separate the two teams at the bottom, where Lyn's Handbrake City trail Gil's Kippax.

It really is nip and tuck at the top of our Across the Costa's Golden Boot League.

Martin's Marauders remain in pole position for the 2nd week running but overall we have had 8 different leaders in 11 weeks.

Only 1 point is the difference between Chris's Promotion Again and the leaders.

Bill's East Fifers have been making rapid progress in the last few weeks and are now in joint 5th spot with Lucy's Luck. Terry’s Could it be This Year, closed the gap on Mark's Inter Rubber to only 5 points at the bottom.

Martin's Marauders are also top of our Champion of Champions League with a 13 point lead over Wade's Alli Barber who clocked up this week’s top score of 49 points.

Former front-runners Max and Paddy have slipped down to 3rd and are 6 points ahead of Pauline's Vodka Army.

Gil's Kippax are still stuck at the bottom only 5 points behind Luna's Liver Birds.

We have two teams heading into our Monthly Wine Draw for November and they are Wade's Alli Barber which has been mentioned before with the top score of 49 points and Ben's team Guadamentell who got our lowest score of a big fat Zero.

Manager of the month for November is being kindly sponsored by Nikki and Gary at The Drunken Duck in Alfaz, who provide a good old fashioned English breakfast and a super Sunday roast as well as providing other excellent home made English dishes.

With only one week gone Wade's Alli Barber have got off to a flying start by taking a 10 point advantage over Eric's Peaky Blinders.

Promotion Again, Napali Eleven, R.F.C. 1872 and Bill's East Fifers are in contention for this super meal for 2 at The Drunken Duck.

The 1st Round of our K.O. Cup competition took place last weekend which resulted in two ties finishing level. Vina's City Link drew 15-15 with Unbelievable Tekkers while Kerry's Penfold Puffins finished 10-10 with Rachel's Blue Murder.

Both replays will take place this week. The favourites Napali Eleven, cruised through to the next round by beating William and Henry Two 36-8.

There was some really tight games with Could it be This Year, just edging out Hugonauts 11-10, Kath's Bingo Babes scraped through by beating Dave's Makems Elite 18-17 which was a victory for a Geordie over a Mackem.

The biggest win went to Alli Barber who crushed Ducky Blues 49-24. The results and the draw for the next round will soon be up on our website which is www.alfazffl.com.
