Alfaz Fantasy Football League

- By Eric Malpus

Week 34 After two weeks of pi ling up the points, the Alfaz Fantasy Football managers had to settle for a drop in the average score which dropped down to 3 6 points after two week s in the high fifties. The eight mid-week games, three Premier League matches at the week end and the two F. A. Cup semi-finals produced forthe Alfaz Fantasy Football League 35 goals, six clean sheets, 2 6 yellow cards and two red ones which was Dr mic and Bu end ia both Norwich players and to make matters worse for the Can aries God frey scored an own goal. I bet Norwich fans will be g lad when the season is over.

Chris' s Promotion Again added 4 more points to their 2 1 point advantage at the top of the A. F. F. L. over Wade' s Al li Barber and with two weeks to go those points could prove crucial in the final run in.

Key players for both teams is for Promotion Again, Liverpool' s Ma ne and Leicester' s Var dy, while Al li Barber Wolves Jimenez and inform Spur' s Harry Kane. Eric' s Pea ky Blinders have sneaked into 3 rd spot but they could find it difficult to makeup the ground as we run out of games. Han na kins and Wolves will Tweet U are in joint 4 th place just ahead of the fast moving Real co A Team.

D own at the foot of the table, Bob' s team, The Strikers had a good week but they are hardly likely to makeup the 32 points they need to catch Gil' s Ki pp ax.

Harley' s Ginger Ninja rh ave complete control of our Junior League with a comfortabl­e 53 point lead over Robbie' s Pi que Blinders who have moved back into 2 nd place taking over from Lucky Red F.C.

We have a new team sat at the bottom of the League with G ian's Fleet pool making a play for the wooden spoon he won last season.

Elaine's Dizzie Blonde have collected 185 points this month which has enabled them to topple Debbie' s Foxy Filberts at the top of our Mark Carter ladies section.

Debbie' s team, at one time had an incredible 64 point advantage which they have squandered in the last few weeks and allowed Dizzie Blonde to take a very slim 2 point lead. Liz' s Cookies Crew 6 1 are still in contention just 2 1 points behind the leaders. At the bottom, Lyn' s Hand brake City have leapt above Gil' s Ki pp ax and left them holding everybody else up.

Henry' s Old Sal for di ans have reached the summit of our Golden Boot League courtesy of Spur' s Harry Kane and Arsenal' s Pierre Au ba me yang who waded in with 3 0 points between them.

Former leaders Pompey Hammers, who had been at the top for the last 11 weeks. Manchester Unit ed' s Harry Maguire didn't help them by slotting the ball past his own keeper David De Ge a which meant he scored a minus 1 0 . Ginger Ninjar moved up three places to 3 rd while at the same time they relegated Bill' s East Fife rs to 4 th. This is one league that will definitely go down to the wire with only 1 6 points separating the top five. Mark' s Tory Boys United are under the cosh at the bottom, with two of his strike rs out of the league leaving only Arsenal' s La caz ette to get him out of trouble. Currently they trail Kim' s Ginger United by 19 points.

There is no change at the top or bottom of our Champion of Champions league with Al li Barber well ahead at the top and Gil' s Ki pp ax still lingering over the trap door at the bottom.

Another league which is hard to predict is our F. A. Cup League. The two semi-final sat the week end only produced an average score of just under 4 points in this section mainly because not many managers had selected the goal scorers. At the moment Eric' s Treble Without Applause have 6 point lead over Terry' s Could it be This Year. Both teams have only one player in the final so I reckon Rachel' s Blue Murder have an outside chance with three players available. At the other end of the table, Macca's Rous Reuse scored a minus 2 which has left them 4 points adrift of Winnie' s Le Hombre Rioja.

O ur top scoring team this week was R ed necks69' s with a tally of 7 4 points which means they will join our lowest scoring team Paul' s Foley' s Bantems who only scored 4 , in our monthly wine draw.

Manager of the month for July will be presented with a bottle of their choice and currently Gary' s Shack ladies Dream Team are running away with it having taken a 17 point lead over Sarah' s Lucy' s Luck. Tony Red' s Miles Platting Swifys are flying high in 3 rd place and they will have to keep an eye on Kevin' s Mason United who have been on a rich vein of form and are coming up fast on the rails.

This Sunday the final of our K. O. Cup competitio­n takes place between the red hot favourites Hannak ins who are 4 thin the league and Jack' s aptly named W inners who are 5 5 th in the table.

Key players in the final will be for the winners Jamie Var dy and Mo Sal a hand for Han na kins Marcus Rash ford and Wolves Jimenez. Don' t forget only points in the Sunday games count. We look forward to it being a good final and if by chance it finishes up lev el the replay will be next week.
