Weekly Matchups


Looking at the table, we see Chris and Alex cut my lead to just 3 points this week, with Chris passing the latter on PF for 2nd. ZachA, Mack, and John also find themselves moving up the table, just 2, 3, and 3 points behind Alex. The trio moves ahead of Morgs on PF. The rest of the table remains the same, with Cara and Andrew's draw seeing them remain a consistent 3 points apart.

And now, the game changers!

  • ZachA: Bryan Mbeumo - 15 pts - The United homer got to cheer on his own player this week as the bald man netted 2 in Manchester United's 4-2 win against Brighton. Amor-in?
  • Chris: Micky van de Ven - 23 pts - You don't often see a 23-pointer, let alone from a center back. Let alone against the giants that are Everton.
  • John: Pedro Porro - 11 pts - Oops another Spurs player. Except this one didn't score 2 goals smh.
  • Mack: Eberechi Eze - 11 pts - Of course he scores his first goal in the prem against Crystal Palace. Written in the stars.
  • Alex: Marcus Tavernier - 11 pts - Hiring Sean Dyche wasn't enough, evidently.
  • Andrew: Matheus Cunha - 8 pts - Not quite as good as United's other signing, but still scored. Also, @andrew your whole team is injured somehow.

Congratulations to John for winning October Manager of the Month! He took it on PF over Chris and Mack, who also went undefeated!

In terms of form, John takes the top spot on PF! He is joined by Chris and myself on 12/15 points earned over the last 5 weeks!

On the bubble (in no order): ZachA, MatthewR, Morgs Fell off: Morgs

10 - John (NEW) - League B - Congratulations to John for making his first appearance on the list! This comes off the back of 3 very solid weeks. Szoboszlai looks like the best player by far on Liverpool, Gabriel has just been immense, and Mateta just keeps racking up xG. He's got a solid team with some in-form players so we'll see how he keeps up.

9 - Alex (-1) - League B - This is the start of some really difficult decisions I had to make in the ranking and unfortunately Alex got dropped a spot, even with a 47 pointer this week. Tavernier and Bruno G came up big and Bowen sure isn't going anywhere even though his team plays some of the worst football I've seen since… last season.

8 - Jesse (-2) - League A - Another decent week that got shifted due to having to sort of dramatically rebalance the rankings. It does kinda work though, because Doku and Reijnders have been falling out of form as Jesse found just 7 points from his 4 playing midfielders.

7 - Zach (+2) - League A - Zach has been on a roll, and even with a slightly worse week than the past couple he picked up his 3rd straight win. A very helpful Tavernier pickup paid off, along with Guehi sneaking in some defcon and his 3 other midfielders all getting 3 pointers, which is interesting. Still, he's come back from his bit of bad (/unlucky) form and has been gaining points fast.

6 - Matthew (-3) - League A - Genuinely, I might have the most temperamental team in the league due to having so many injured players, but this week was rough. The guy who I picked up because he got 18/12/12/16 defcon in the 4 weeks before only got 4 defensive contributions, Murillo only hit 9, Foden has decided to vanish despite playing well, and Munoz and Mateta played Arsenal. So, a tough week for me.

5 - Dylan (+2) - League A - Really another solid week for Dylan with his second 50+ in a row. This time from Dango, Szoboszlai, and Gabriel all pitching in with 9+ pointers. And, he's still winning the Welbeck trade.

4 - Mack (+1) - League B - Not the best week for Mack but a win's a win, especially with 12 points sitting on the bench. Eze has looked solid and has been returning pretty regularly over the past 5 weeks, Guehi is Guehi, and Woltemade has been super solid recently (despite finally breaking his scoring streak). The only question marks are what's going on with Newcastle's MIDs - namely Elanga and Tonali - being benched.

3 - Luke (+1) - League A - Rough week for Luke as well seeing as he was joint lowest scorer across both leagues, but power rankings are a prediction for who will do well and he's coming off 3 wins in a row. Plus, he's got Delap now to make up for getting 6 points from his 4 midfielders.

2 - Matthew2 (-) - League B - Similar story to Luke (and Darryan) for this team, as the injuries to Evanilson and Chris Wood hit hard. Still an okay enough score, but barely in the 30s is certainly an off week.

1 - Darryan (-) - League A - Let's be honest, he's still got Haaland and a bunch of Arsenal defenders - he'll be fine. Unlucky to not get any defcon this week though.

Good luck all!
