In the ITYFL, although former champ and league leader Jeff Franklin’s lead has been cut slightly, with just four more game weeks to go, he is in a very healthy position in his quest to becoming a two-time champion, thanks to his very decent 92 point weekly score. Due to the likes of captain Haaland (32) Estupinan (16) Gakpo (9) Kane (8) Rashford (8) and Shaw (8).

Desperately trying to cling on to his 3peat hopes, double champ Danny Milton sits 36 points behind, following his very decent 97 point week. Thanks to captain Haaland (32) Estupinan (16) Gakpo (9) Rashford (8) Shaw (8) Grealish (7) and Van Dijk (7). Washington DC’s Greg Cabana loses some ground on the top two, due to his weekly score of 78 points. With contributions from captain Haaland (32) Alexander-Arnold (11) Gakpo (9) Dias (8) and Kane (8).

In fourth, also losing ground on the above is Natalie Stigwood with, given the circumstances a somewhat disappointing 68 point weekly score. Mainly due to captain Haaland (32) Grealish (7) Jesus (7) and Toney (7). This week’s Highest Mover, storming up three places from 8th to 5th was Sanjay Beecher. Thanks to a superb weekly score of 128 points, the joint second highest score this season, and inevitably this week’s Highest Scorer which also puts him joint 15^th on the all-time scoring list.
