It's now June and a Fantasy League update is long overdue. With our Saturday and Sunday teams having played five matches each, and no fewer than thirty players having represented the club so far this season, there have been plenty of opportunities for the field to spread out. The current standings are as follows:
As you can see, The Beer Monsters have stormed into the lead by scoring consistently in almost every game so far this season. However, if they have a poor game like Sharron's 2nd XI did on the 14th May, there's no reason that any team from second all the way down to Sharron's 1st XI in eighth place couldn't take their place.
At the other end of the table, the wooden spoon looks to already be in the bag for the Woodentops: some suspiciously accurate predictions from Sharron have seen her assemble a potently poor team that has somehow managed to score only 137 points from the last nine matches. The rest of the field will be hoping that some of the Woodentops players have good games (or indeed have games at all) to make the wooden spoon a bit more of a competition.
There are also several new players who we have welcomed both into the club and into the Fantasy League player pool. They are:
Any of these players could be just the bargain you need to invigorate your team: thanks to his century against New Bradwell, Adesh Pal is currently the individual points leader with 439, although Syed Naqvi is close behind on 430.
Almost all teams also have a full quota of transfers still available. As we are now into the third month of the season, that means that each team is allowed to use its first three transfers.
Finally, please do be aware that there is no rule against late entries. You will be docked half the points earned by players before you submit your team (though this cannot be used as a tactic for the wooden spoon competition, for which your full points total will be included), but canny selections may just make it worth your time.
