Solid as a Rockstar

Breaking News 88888 Manager of week 20
It was the make or break week, plenty of games and points to play for and the week when promotion and relegation was decided.

In recent years the best weekly points total has been bettered each season and this one is no different as John Littig, who is soon to depart this great city to go and work and live in Philadelphia cracked an unbelievable 132 points to finish the first half of the season. Mark Dewberry held the previous record best with 126.

John's record score saw Rooney & Ronaldo’s rockstars climb 6 places in the Serie A table and rightfully have high hopes of clinching some end of season silverware.

Elsewhere no one could get near John, the best being Ben Graves and his Christian Daily Genius who only appeared in the play-off places 3 weeks ago to finish 5th after scoring 113 points. Brian Dougal’s Living in Sin looked out of contention but they hit a phenomenal 101 points in week 20 to claim a play-off place after being out of the promotion picture for a month. The man to lose out was James Down, whose Massive Tackle (cough, cough) netted just 36 points in the final week of the year.

98 points any other week would have us all taking notice but in week 20 East Indian summer and Wizzi’s wonders both hit this excellent score but saw 3 other managers beat it.

Another Johnny come lately was Aaron Barden who more than secured his promotion with a 97 point total to allow Fuddy Munsters to finish 4th in Serie A. Francey showed what we can expect in the 2nd half of the season in The Championship when he’s Vote Seagull Party clobbered 95, a point more than Thieving Chelsea gits.

Rob Munden’s team had trod water out of the play-off zone for 9 weeks after a good start but in week 20 it was his turn to put on the magic as 94 points was enough to put noses out of joint and scrape into The Premiership.

93 points was enough for previous champion Ready and Hannoi Utd to qualify but not so for Frank & Beans but Tim & Dennis’ recent form gives them real hope.

Glasgow kiss and Brighton Blues both finished the first part of the campaign off well scoring 92 and 91 points respectively. Serie B Champions Savchenko Spurs’ 88 points was enough for them to grab the title.

82 points for Roubles FC kept Johnny Mac swinging along as it did for Nut Meg and the same for #1 Strugglers, who added 81 to their total. All three will play Premiership fantasy football in the new year.

In a week with literally 100’s of points available Nobby let himself down badly by crashing to just 24 points, his 4th worst week of the season. I had consigned myself to The Championship a few weeks back, but now North of Crystal Palarse start horribly disadvantaged.

Meanwhile Le Guen’s revolution, which has been put paid to at Glasgow Rangers should also get the same fate at Lee Baughan’s fantasy team. Sweaty’s last few months have been a disaster and an awful score of just 14 points in week 20, 118 less than John Littig, see’s his team start The Championship in week 21 way last.
