Week Twenty-Four

In Week Twenty-Four of the competition we had our fourth player to pick up their second win of the season and it goes to TONY KING. Tony picked up the full amount of £6 in cash as he wins on the lowest score of the season with just 6 goals. Tony last won in Week Fifteen and he had to share his win with his highest score of the season with 12 goals. Since then he has picked up his first blank weekend score sheet and that was last weekend. His best team is Barnsley netting 52 of his total of 150 goals. Here are his teams once again

BARNSLEY 3, MK DONS 3, RANGERS -
