Osvaldo Retains Top Spot

In a week of mixed performance, the new league leader, OsvaldoGang fought hard to retain its new status. As the week progressed, it looked like the former leader would stage a comeback but Osvaldo fought back to retain his spot with a 12point lead. Not too far from the runner-up, is Casey Safe FC who is just 10pts behind the second. Yemitokanbois retained their 4th position. Raumdeuter moved to the 5th from 8th, replacing the POP masters who moved down to 6th. Dare2blues will soon learn that fielding 3 players from same team’s defense line is a costly mistake as a poor outing shattered their hopes of moving higher on the table, settling for the 7th position. Nihilist guided his Greasy Butts upwards from 9th to 8th, Riders of Rohan slipped to the 9th position while the Samurai Monsters displaced the Po'rn'stars to occupy the 10th position, recording the highest point amongst the top 10 while intelligesia recorded the least.

H-2-H Review

Chamokazzy’s Po'rnstar.s were on point once more as they retained their place on top of the log with a home win. Intelligesia suffered yet another loss to anonymous Arsenal4Ever to move down to 3rd while Raumdeuter defeated JetBombers to move to 2nd position. Lalaboi’s Shinigami X FC battled to a stalemate with ibime’s Ipukulu marines. Mykaliz Destroyers got destroyed by Librans FC while Lagos FC defeated AZ.

At the carling cup, Librans FC once again, spoiled the party for Dare2blues with an emphatic win while Oluamyd’s Phoenixes slim 1 pt win piloted him up to the 7th position.

At the Conference Cup, Samurai Monsters retains top spot, with a record of 13 wins, the highest across all Nairaland h-2-h competitions so far. Mean Machines have 12 wins while E Drgon, OsvaldoGang, Ijesha Warriors and MourinhoFC are all tired at 11 wins.

The Fantasy CUP Starts Gameweek 18

The knock-out competition is starting after this week. For the newbies, you must have accumulated a certain number of points before you will be drafted in for this competition. Each week, you have a random opponent from anywhere in the world. A win progresses you to the next stage, a loss and you’re out of the completion until next year. Win the competition and you’ll be having an all-expense paid trip to England to watch your favourite club pay; that or just a bragging right to stay in your house and boast to your friends.
So if you are having doubts already if you will qualify, make sure you get 100pts this week.

Pick of the Week: P e n I s Of Messi: Total Transfers: 35

35 total transfers in 6 gameweeks leaves you wondering if this manager buys his players from the transfer market or black market! Averaging 2.2 transfers per week, the manager must have lost an estimated 76.8 points. Add that to his tally of 699pts and he would have been chilling at the 25th position with 776pts!

Team Of the Week: No Mediocres

Once again, a third-pager won the manager of the week, confirming signs that there is an awakening and a hunger amongst the bottom-pagers. Handling Van Persie the captain band was all he needed to do to win the manager of the week; and this got him 68pts. Congrats fella!

Gameweek 17 Preview

With the competition getting intense, there seem to be no room for errors now. Injuries and suspensions are dealing with everyone now, with managers going out on their own to look for differentials. Who are you buying? Who will wear your captain band?
Do you know that all the top-10 at the table had Aguero as captain? 9 out of the 10 had Sanchez in their team, the only exception being Dare2blues? 50% of them had both Hazard and Downing while 70% had either of the both? The only manager in the top-10 that took a point hit scored the least! With Aguero out of the pix, where will these top guys, as well as others be pitching their tenth?

Captain Choice

1. Diego Costa: After collecting 1pt apiece in the last 2 fixtures, it will take a bold choice to hand Costa the captain band. But he is playing for a Chelsea that seeks to bounce back from a disappointing loss; and against a Hull city that was picked apart by Manutd few weeks back.
2. Sanchez: Top form, making contribution of goal/assist each match for the past 4 weeks.
3. Bonny

By-The-Way

Sakho is back from injury and I can bet my printing ink that Azpekuliar has already bought him; now we are certain he will end up in 5th position after just 2 weeks.

Ritchie’s Disvirginators have been forced down to page 2. He was taunting Ibime last season for deleting his team. At least ibime was bold enough to pay-off his players and send them home; rather than abandoning them without pay. Now ibime in page 1 and Ritchie is awol.

Its been long we picked up vibrations from teeo! Is the devils still languishing at page 3?

Shouts out to Teflon saints. I see you skipped this year’s nairaland edition. Still ask for codes when you’re ready, don’t be shy.

See you all at the top.
