My old work mate (I’ll spare you the other name) Mr James, moves up into 10th from 16th, making him this weeks joint Highest mover, thanks to an excellent weekly score of 75 points, which also made him this weeks Highest Scorer. Doing the business were captain Son (20) Antonio (11) Buendia (10) Salah (10) Lowton (6) and Shaw (6).
