League Table

Weekly Matchups

These results made a handful of table changes, as the congestion around 3rd and 9th increases. Starting at the top, MatthewR (of course) keeps his 11 point lead over Matt, with Jesse moving up into 3rd, just 2 points off Matt. Dylan drops to 4th, 1 point behind Jesse, and with Luke, me, and Rebecca all just 1 point behind him. Zach's win brings him into the conversation in 8th, just 3 points off the pack. Kevin also makes a leap up the table to 9th, 2 points behind Zach and 1 ahead of Gavin, Coop, and Emily.

Now onto the Game Changers! Another low scoring week, with just 3 10+ point hauls on the list.

Jesse: Dwight McNeil - Everton's talisman and their team's destruction of Wolves this week resulted in 2 assists and a clean sheet point for McNeil, leading Jesse's team to victory with 9 points.
Matt: Mikkel Damsgaard - He outscored Emily's team himself with 9 points (a goal and 2 bonus points). I don't think I need say more.
Luke: Morgan Rogers - Rogers had a great goal this week against Brentford to nab a bonus point and 8 points for Luke's team, which he also didn't necessarily need in his own lopsided fixture.
Zach: Declan Rice - Opposite the last 2, Zach's game changer was very necessary for his win. And of course I had to choose Declan Rice, who picked up an assist off a corner, a clean sheet point, and 1 bonus in Arsenal's win against United for a 7 pointer.
Coop: Noni Madueke - Another huge win for Chelsea this week with Madueke picking up a goal, assist, and 3 bonus points for Coop's team. His 13 points led the team to their narrow win in the low scoring matchup against Dylan.
MatthewR: Cole Palmer - Yeah he stole a goal from Nkunku and got 7 points and MatthewR won again.
Kevin: Alex Iwobi - With Iwobi's second appearance on this list, his 2 goals and 3 bonus points provided Kevin with a huge 15 point haul today. That brings the ex-Arsenal and ex-Everton man up to 8(!!) goal contributions on the season.
Rebecca: Mohamed Salah - I mean, who else? He hasn't scored less than 9 in the past 7 weeks and once again puts himself on this list with an 18 pointer from 2 goals, an assist, and 3 bonus points. 6th time here out of 8 possible, btw.

The December Manager of the Month race sees Kevin off to a slight lead with his 62 PF, ahead of Rebecca at 55 and a small group in the 40s! Again, this is a long month, so anyone can win it!

Manager of the Month

In terms of the form table, Rebecca takes the top spot on PF as a group of 5 sits on 12/15 points gained across the past 5 weeks. She shares the seat with Kevin, MatthewR, Zach, and Emily.
