G'day OzSpurs NFG League. This is your weekly FPL update.
The winner for gameweek 3 was 'Nothing Else Madders' [Barney Hamilton] with 80 points! Rounding up the top 3 for the week was '11 men in flight' [Tim Lee] (77 pts) and 'Sweaty XI' [callum Mees] (75 pts).
'What the Hecke' [Josh Lorenz] stayed at the top of the table with 233 points, although 'Brisbane Glory' [Wayne Hill] is creeping closer 3 points behind. At the other end 'the lilly whites' [abdelhak moqran] continues to languish in last place with a miserable 34 points.
The worst ranking teams this week were 'the lilly whites' [abdelhak moqran] (34 pts), 'fantaseasweat' [Sam Butcher] (33 pts), and 'Audere Est De Zerbi' [Stephen Sizer] (32 pts). Hang your heads in shame.
When it came to captaincy choices, there were 19 teams that shared top place with 27 points from Erling Haaland. On the other end of the spectrum there were 6 teams that had picked Phil Foden, João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus, Yoane Wissa, and Cole Palmer for a total of 2 points.
Moving onto substitutions 'Subbuteoz' [Simon Godfrey] will be kicking themselves after having left an amazing 29 points on the bench which was the highest in the league.
This week 'Lee's Team' [Lee Carter] did the best with automatic substitutions receiving 13 points from Isak coming off the bench in lieu of O'Reilly. 'Graham's 2nd Team' [Graham Tate] was not as fortunate getting a meager 0 points from Truffert who covered for Watkins.
As for shakers and movers '11 men in flight' [Tim Lee] climbed 33 spots this week. In the not so great department we have 'Audere Est De Zerbi' [Stephen Sizer] dropping 40 spots.
