W eek 2 : A fter last week ' s slow start the A lfaz F antasy F ootball L eag ue took off with the P remier L eag ue g oing g oal mad, by producing 4 5 g oals, only three clean sheets, 2 2 yellow cards and three red ones for the F antasy L eag ue manag ers which took the av erag e score for the week to a hig h of just ov er 3 0 points. T he three players sent off were W est B rom's G ibbs, B rig hton's B issouma and C helsea's C hristensen, the last two had yellow cards turned into red after the referee v iewed the pitch side monitor hav ing been adv ised to by V A R .

T here may not be any fans at P remier L eag ue g ames so far this season, but no shortag e of g oals 6 2 g oals netted in the 1 6 g ames played so far and at the time of writing this we hav en't ev en had last season's top scorers M anchester C ity and A ston V illa play yet.

E l. S id F . C . are in 4 th place and C atherine's P ompey H ammers are well in contention in 7 th spot. A t the opposite end of the table, most of the teams down there are suffering from the fact that M anchester C ity hav e yet to start their campaig n. Ian's K asbrane C ity hav e only 2 points in the bag , leav ing his team 1 point away from L iz ' L eia's Y um Y ums.
