Week Thirty

In Week Thirty of the competition and we are half way through the second half of the season, there were no winners this weekend due to the International games being played over the weekend, so the £6 cash prize money has been Rolled over to next week. We have had a total of 31 winners to date this season. Even though we have just a few of our teams in action over the weekend, STEVE AYRES picked up the most number of goals with nine. They came from Peterborough 7 and Portsmouth 2. His third team Celtic had no game. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS

Only twenty-four of us picked up some goals this week due to the lack of games to Internationals this week. But now are looking at beating the highest midweek score of 136 goals set by Daryl Nicholls in the 2016/17 Season. We are also looking to beat the number of players to reach 100 midweek goals in a season. Last season we had a record breaking 51 players that reached the 100 or more midweek goals. This week we still have a total of six players that are on or over 100 goals. RAYMOND HARROD is still out in front with a total of 106 goals. His teams are Brentford, Celtic and Manchester City. SANSA-CLARA-LYANNA is second with a total of 105 goals. 

WEEKEND RESULTS

We had a total of eighteen of our teams that played over the weekend and out of them, six failed to score any goals. This means that only twenty-six players managed to pick up any goals so the average score for this weekend is a flat zero. The Highest score that we had over the weekend was seven goals and they came from League One PETERBOROUGH who won 7-0 at home to ACCRINGTON STANLEY. With their highest result of the season, Peterborough are now on a total of 68 goals and have now scored in all of their last six games. Accrington picked up their tenth blank of the season.

Sunderland are on a total of 55 goals and a goal run of eighteen games. Lincoln City are still in fourth place with PORTSMOUTH moving up to fifth place as they win 2-1 away to Shrewsbury. Portsmouth are on a total of 66 goals.

Meanwhile PLYMOUTH drew 2-2 away to Blackpool and they are on a total of 61 goals. WIGAN picked up their fourteenth blank score sheet after they drew 0-0 at home to Ipswich.

STEVE REEVE has remained at the top again this weekend, even though I did not have any of my teams in action this week. So now it’s eight weeks in a row at the top for me this week. My teams are Brentford, Manchester City and Rangers.

Michael Fisher is still in second place as he also had none of his teams in action. So Michael is still seven goals behind me this week. His teams are Manchester City Manchester United and Rangers.
