Week Two

Here we are with Week Two of the competition and this weekend, we had our second winner of the season who won on a score of 16 goals. Our winner was CLIFF BAMBRIDGE and collects the full £6 cash prize money.
Cliff has been with us for four seasons now as he started in the 2016/17 Season. Last season he finished in 8th place with a total of 325 goals. With one shared weekend win, Cliff won £22 in cash. Cliff  has started off  this season in great style and with the highest weekend score so far for this season. His teams are

CELTIC 5, FALKIRK 6, MANCHESTER CITY 5

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
At last we can have our first look at who is in the lead for our 100 Midweek Goals Jackpot worth £30 this season. The prize money will go to the first person to reach 100 goals from their three teams.
Taking the lead after two weeks of football we have three at the moment all with 7 goals each. They are TOBY BICKNELL, MICHAEL FISHER and JED WEARDEN. In Second place we have CLIFF BAMBRIDGE, GUY DOWSETT and GRAHAM HARRIS all with 6 goals each while in third place with 4 goals each we have a total of 36 players.

WEEKEND RESULTS
So we had our very first full weekend fixture and what a fantastic start to the season. We had just three teams with no game over the weekend with another fifteen teams that failed to score any goals. So for our very first weekend the average score was a massive 8 goals. So if your combination picked up more than that, then you have done very well this week.
The Highest score over the weekend was six goals and we had two of our teams that reached that figure. They were RANGERS from the Scottish Premiership where they won 6-1 at home to Hibernian. Rangers have scored in both of their league games to date and they are now on a total of 8 goals. They have a total of 35 votes. FALKIRK from the Scottish League One won 6-0 at home to Dumbarton to pick up their highest score of the season. Falkirk are now on a total of 12 goals. They have just one vote this season.

The premiership for the very first time is using the “VAR” and it has already been controversial. We first saw this in the World Cup 2018 and it was criticized for the confusion it caused then within stadiums and the time it took to make decisions at this year’s Women's World Cup.
The Premier League has vowed to ensure its use would have minimum impact on the game. That was certainly true at Anfield on Friday night, where its use did not disrupt the flow of the game. But I can see this affecting our top team’s goals totals this year with Manchester City already having a goal disallowed against West Ham on Saturday match and a few others results have now been affected by the VAR.

PREMIERSHIP
So the Premiership played their first league game of the season and most of them had a great start. MANCHESTER CITY went straight to the top of the league after they won 5-0 away to WEST HAM. MANCESTER UNITED are in second place after they won 4-0 at home to CHELSEA. Liverpool are in third place after their Friday game.
