Down to second but just two points behind and hoping for a reaction is Nordin Gharib following his wildcard 47 point week, with contributions from captain Salah (6) Marmoush (9) Murillo (9) Isak (8) and Gvardiol (6).

Moving up to third although still some way back but desperately trying to make it a three-horse race, is Owen Barnes, due to his decent 56 point weekly score. With captain Salah (6) Marmoush (9) Ait-Nouri (8) Isak (8) Mbeumo (8) Palmer (6), and Sanchez (6).

In seventh, equalling a very decent 60 point weekly score is my blood brother, Wayne Watson, thanks to captain Salah (6) Rogers (10) Isak (8) Sels (8) Virgil (8) Wissa (5) and AM Slot (9).

This week’s Highest Scorer was RMC Eremce, with a superb weekly score of 69 points. Which also made him this week’s Highest Mover as he moved up two places from 22nd to 20th. Doing the business was captain Marmoush (19) Merino (10) Isak (8) Mbeumo (8) Rashford (8), and Sels (8).

It’s a quick turnaround to week 30 and the weekend games, make it count y’all.
