T here was an ex plosion of points for the A lfaz F antasy F ootball L eag ue manag ers last week end when the av erag e score soared up to nearly 5 6 points (2 nd hig hest of the season). T he 1 4 P remier L eag ue g ames and the four q uarter - final F .A . C up ties supplied the A .F .F .L . with 3 8 g oals, 1 3 clean sheets, 3 7 yellow cards and three red ones which was M anchester C ity's utility player F ernandinho (handball), S outhampton's S tephens and Norwich's T imm K lose for wrestling B runo F ernandez to the g round. O nce ag ain there was a shed load of clean sheets mak ing it 2 2 in the last two week s. D efenders at the moment are scoring more points than their illustriou­s forwards.

C ong ratulation­s to L iv erpool on winning the P remier L eag ue, all their players hav e not let down the F antasy L eag ue manag ers who selected them with M o S alah (1 5 4 ), S adio M ane (1 4 5 ), A lex ander-A rnold (1 3 4 ) and V irg el V an D ijk (1 2 1 ) all clock ing up ov er 1 0 0 points,

T here is not much chance of the 2 6 th A .F .F .L . finishing up lik e the P remier L eag ue as the two teams at the top are fig hting tooth and nail to lift this seasons trophy. C urrently, C hris's P romotion A g ain hav e just edg ed 1 point ahead of last week 's leaders W ade's team A lli B arber leaders for the last 1 0 week s - not counting the lock down. S imon's W olv es will T weet U mov ed up one place to 3 rd and at the same time mov ed a little closer to the front-runners. D own at the foot of the table, B ob's team T he

S trik ers did manag e to pick up 3 0 points but, L yn's H andbrak e C ity also bag g ed 3 0 points, so no chang e at the bottom.

In the M ark C arter L adies S ection there is just 2 1 points between leaders D ebbie's F ox y F ilberts and L iz 's C ook ies C rew (6 1 ). D iz z ie B londe and S ol V alley M arauders are in 3 rd and 4 th place. L yn's H andbrak e C ity hav e fallen 1 9 points behind G il's K ippax .

H arley's team, G ing er Ninjar are beg inning to tak e control of our J unior L eag ue as they hav e now opened up a 2 2 point adv antag e ov er L uca's L uck y R ed F .C , H arrison's B oden B oys hav e been joined at the bottom by G ian's F leetpool. T he alarm bells are not ring ing yet as they hav e a 4 0 point cushion.

C atherine's P ompey H ammars are 2 2 points ov er G raham's L aurel & V ardy in the G olden B oot L eag ue. G ing er Ninjar mov ed into 3 rd spot replacing B ill's E ast F ifers who slip down one place. M ark 's T ory B oys U nited remain ov er the trap door just abov e water three adrift of T he S trik ers.

O ur C hampion of C hampions L eag ue was won ag es ag o with A lli B arber being crowned C hampions of this section. Nev ertheless the fig ht for the runners-up spot g oes on between K eith's M ax & P addy and M artin's M arauders. It's been a long journey but M ax & P addy hav e finally tak en ov er 2 nd place and opened up a 1 1 point g ap ov er the M arauders. J oint bottom of this div ision, L una's L iv er B irds and G il's K ippax are both lock ed on 5 5 6 points which is well away from the nearest team L eo's P owerblue B oys.
