In the ITYFL, with just one game week to go, it couldn’t be any closer. Former back-to-back champ Danny Milton leads the league, but via a wafer-thin three points, following his excellent bench boost 126 point weekly score. The all-time joint 18th highest and joint 6th highest this season. Due to captain Haaland (30) Gusto (13) Walker (13) Foden (11) Porro (10) Gordon (8) Gabriel (7) B.Fernandes (5) and from off the bench Palmer (14).

Breathing down his neck in second is the defending two-time champion Jeff Franklin, with a timely and superb bench boost weekly score of 138 points, the all-time joint 10th highest and the 4th highest this season. Thanks to the likes of captain Haaland (30) Gvardiol (27) Palmer (14) Foden (11) Gordon (8) Gabriel (7) N.Jackson (7), and from off the bench Porro (10).

Former champ, ahem Charles Denton, looks to have solidified his place in third due to an excellent bench boost 128 point week, the all-time joint 16th highest and the joint 5th highest this season. Following captain Haaland (10) Palmer (14) Walker (13) Foden (11) Porro (10) Mateta (9) Gordon (8) Gabriel (7), and from off the bench, White (6) and Debruvka (5).

Due to captain Haaland (30) Gvardiol (27) Palmer (14) Foden (11) N.Jackson (7) Havertz (6) Solanke (6), and from off the bench Pickford (8) and Doughty (4).

Moving down to tenth is Owen Barnes. Who, given the circumstances, scored a disappointing 61 point weekly score, with captain Son (8) Palmer (14) Porro (10) Saliba (9) Solanke (6), and Watkins (5).

This week’s Highest Scorer was Nordin Gharib, thanks to an excellent bench boost weekly score of 141 points, the all-time joint 8th highest and the 3rd highest this season. This moved him up four places from 20th to 16th, making him this week’s Highest Mover. Doing the business was captain Haaland (30) Gvardiol (27) Palmer (14) Foden (11) Gordon (8) Gabriel (7) Havertz (6), and from off the bench Gusto (13) Solanke (6) and Senesi (4).
