Doing the business was captain Salah (6) Kiwior (13) Mateta (10) Gvardiol (7) Saliba (7) Bradley (5) De Bruyne (5) Marmoush (4), and from off the bench Eze (10) Bowen (9) and Raya (7).

Moving up into the Champions League places is my recent(ish) former work colleague Abdul Rahman, thanks to his decent weekly score of 77 points. With captain De Bruyne (10) Mbeumo (10) Kerkez (8) Wood (8) Gvardiol (7) Marmoush (4) Merino (4), and AM Emery (11).

This sees Owen Barnes down to fifth, due to a modest 50 point week with captain Salah (6) Mbeumo (18) Alexander-Arnold (6) Ait Nouri (5) and Marmoush (4). My blood brother Wayne Watson continues his good recent form, as he moves up to sixth, with a weekly score of 57 points and contributions from captain Salah (6) Wissa (11) Rogers (7) Saliba (7) Virgil (7) Munoz (6) and Marmoush (4).

My youngest son Latrell Oscar is down into eighth, five points behind, with a disappointing 49 point week. His main contributions came from captain Marmoush (8) Mateta (10) Rogers (7) Munoz (6) De Bruyne (5), and Merino (4).

My former work colleague Mr James stays in ninth following a bench boost 64 point week, with captain Marmoush (8) Watkins (12) Rice (8) Nwaneri (7) Rogers (7) Munoz (6) and De Bruyne (5). My middle son Jahsiah Tobierrie makes up the top ten with his 55 point weekly score, due to captain Salah (6) Mbeumo (18) Mateta (10) Ait Nouri (5), and Schar (5).

There was no Highest Mover this week, as the five managers who moved up, all moved up by just one place.

Full steam ahead to week 33. Make it count y’all.
