Weekly Matchups

And following the first gameweek, Scott takes the top spot by 1 PF over Gavin at 64! And Morgs joins the top 3 as the only other manager at 50+ PF (and a win).

And onto the Game Changers for the week!

• Morgs: Michael Kayode - 13 pts - A huge week for Brentford fans and Spurs haters everywhere as the Bees cruised to a 3-0 win, with one of those three coming from a Kayode tap in.
• Mack: Anthony Elanga - 9 pts - The pace merchant turned finisher as he showed Kerkez how to run and sped right by him to tap in a goal to take a lead that Newcastle would eventually throw away en route to a 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
• Gavin: Mamadou Sangare - 14 pts - In just 75 minutes this guy is being crowned the signing of the summer and honestly maybe they have a point, considering he did the job better than any amount of Spurs midfielders has done it in… years?
• Delaney: Cole Palmer - 13 pts - Ice Cold Palmer is back and answering weird interview questions like "are you ready for the season" perfectly with "did you see the game," so yeah, I'm thinking he's back.
• ZachA: Anton Stach - 13 pts - Continuing on the basically same player list as League A, Stach scored quite the free kick where I honestly can't tell if he just kicked the ball really hard or if Sels was out of position or both.
• Scott: Jack Hinshelwood - 16 pts - An enormous week for Scott was capped by an absolutely abysmal performance from Aston Villa handing Brighton the top spot in the league and Jack a brace.

And with August already 50% over, Scott and Gavin (of course) take the top two spots heading into the deciding week!

And next week will see some great matchups, headlined by a matchup between two managers on 3 points in ZachA vs Morgs! Elsewhere, Mack tries to stop Andrew from picking up his first 3 and Angus looks to pull off the upset against Gavin! Full matchups are as follows:

• Amber (10) vs Scott (1)
• ZachA (5) vs Morgs (3)
• Andrew (7) vs Mack (6)
• Angus (8) vs Gavin (2)
• ChrisB (11) vs Kim (9)
• Cole (12) vs Delaney (4)

Power Rankings

On the bubble (in no order): Tori, Kevin, Morgs, Maddie, Scott Fell off: Matthew, Alex

10 - Anthony (-) - League C - Last 1: 43 (L) - A pretty solid week (despite the loss) for Anthony keeps him hanging onto the list. Notable returns from his team included the Gakpo screamer, Cherki's pair of assists, and another couple of clean sheets from Mosquera and Vuskovic. Question marks exist still, such as will Caicedo play ever again? Are Van de Ven's hamstrings intact? Can Isak hit the broad side of a barn? Much to think about.

9 - Luke (NEW) - League A - Last 1: 53 (W) - Somehow the Wissa + Gonzalo Garcia gambit worked out for Luke as his FWD pair combined for a respectable 10 points ahead of big weeks from defcon beast Ndiaye, "he's so back" Cole Palmer, and clean sheets for Wieffer and Mykolenko. Now, does Palmer continue to get goal contributions, or does he vanish for the next 6 months before scoring a brace of penalties? Either way points are points so well done this week.

8 - Katie (-3) - League C - Last 1: 30 (L) - A rough start for Katie as 17 points from the bench look on longingly as the only returns on her field were the double 6's from the Everton centerback pair + Evanilson's awkward 4 pointer from an assist. Still, there's a lot of game left to play and you can never count out a Bruno Fernandes + Morgan Gibbs-White team. Plus she's got Mateta who could score 3 goals per game. It's a strong could, though.

7 - Charlotte (NEW) - League C - Last 1: 50 (D) - Quite the start for Charlotte and Maddie as they both put up solid 50 pointers… against each other, to account for our first draw!!! Anyway, Charlotte's score came off the back of Tavernier and Guehi both scoring and finding their way to 10 points, new Leeds keeper James Trafford securing the clean sheet (etc.) for a 9 pointer, and Collins getting a participation medal for suiting up against Spurs and keeping a clean sheet in the process. Oh and Igor Jesus could have had probably 4 goals or something but who was counting.

6 - Kim (-2) - League B - Last 1: 38 (L) - 38 points just wasn't enough this week against the League B Cole Palmer team, but a decent performance as Oli McBurnie outscored buzzcut Haaland (as expected). Anyway, small returns from Gonzalo Garcia and Kelleher combined with Xhaka's huge 9 pointer to not make up the difference from the remaining blanks. Surely Haaland/Foden/Garner lock in from here on out though, right?

5 - Chris (NEW) - League A - Last 1: 54 (W) - A huge week from Chris debuts him halfway up this list as he very easily could've had 69 points this week. And probably should have? Despite his benching of Jack Hinshelwood, Sangare, Dewsbury-Hall, and Ben White combined for 36 points. Add into that the fact Brobbey, Le Fee, and Van Dijk did absolutely nothing this week and he's got a pretty solid squad (that I missed in the stack last week, probably).

4 - Gavin (+3) - League B - Last 1: 63 (W) - Just an insane week from Gavin as his midfield 5 had a floor of 6 points and scored a total of 48 points. Those 5 were: Sangare (14), Odegaard (11), Ndiaye (9), Cherki (8), Tzolis (6). And hey moving forward maybe Maresca will realize he should start Cherki instead of only giving him 27 minutes. And as strong as his midfield core is, Gavin only really saw a Tarky 6 pointer and Mateta hit the post this week. Anyway, crazy team over here.

3 - Aarushi (+3) - League C - Last 1: 55 (W) - Aarushi put up the top score in League C this week with much the same midfield as Gavin (3/5) with Odegaard, Ndiaye, and Sangare leading the charge. The key difference between their teams is one of them has David Raya, and the other has Kinsky. Anyway, Muharemovic marked his Premier League debut with a clean sheet as well, and Wissa impressed with an assist against Liverpool. It's too bad Aarushi will have to find a replacement for Watkins though :/

2 - Zach (-) - League A - Last 1: 47 (W) - The reigning champ continues his winning ways with a victory against the lowest score in League A. Still put up a solid score though, with a pair of 13s from Stach and Kayode being enough for a tie, he one upped it with the Lacroix assist + defcon points and a couple of 3 pointers from MIDs with clean sheets. And that's with a blank from Haaland and defcon beast James Hill.

1 - Andrew (-) - League B - Last 1: 53 (L) - This week, Andrew put up the 3rd highest score in League B, at 53. It's too bad he went up against the 1st highest score. Even still, his Chelsea trio of Joao Pedro, Rogers, and Lacroix combined for 25 points (rip Caicedo), Tavernier picked up 10 points by scoring Bournemouth's lone goal against Manchester City, and Bart kept a clean sheet. Hell yeah Bart.
