Week Twenty

In Week Twenty of the competition it’s half time here and before the whistle was blown, we had just one player to pick up the full amount of cash this weekend with 10 goals. For his second win of the season it went to STUART KEMP.

Stuart won in week two on nine goals and he had to share the cash then. So Stuart has now won a total of £9 in cash so far this season. Since then he has picked up three blank score sheets giving him a total of four in the first half. The good news for Stuart is that he is back on the front page and we see him at his highest position to date. His highest score at the weekend was in week seven with 11 goals. His best team is Manchester City. Here are his teams once again

 LIVERPOOL 4, MANCHESTER CITY 4, MANCHESTER UNITED 2

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

Last week we had a total of five players that were on 50 or more midweek goals and with the results over midweek there are now a total of twenty-two of us hoping to win the cash. All but six of you managed to pick up some more midweek goals this week. We had two players that picked up the most with 10 goals each. They are CHRIS BOLBERY and BRADLEY CLARK. Like most of you they had Celtic and Manchester City as part of their combination, but Chris has Wigan and Bradley has Chelsea to make the set. so the race for the cash has changed slightly again this week.
