After last week’s reduced program left a few teams slightly hobbled, GW31 is business as usual, as all teams step out onto their various hallowed turf.
Away from the excitement of the cup, the premier league managed to stretch five games over three days & keep us all on tenterhooks as to the final outcome.
The Saints held off a Stoke comeback with a brace from a resurgent Graziano Pelle & although they had Mane sent off, the FA decided the ref was a tad too quick to issue marching orders, overturning the card & making him available for the FPL this week.
Down at the seaside, Bournemouth & Swansea see-sawed until Cook’s winner in the 78th minute put them two points from premiership survival.
Eighteenth place Norwich miraculously held City to a goalless draw with Chelski loanee, Bamford, almost snapping the cross bar.
Harry (my mask has my number on it so I don’t forget) Kane all but condemned Villa to the Championship, as Spurs closed the gap to Leicester to just two points at the top.
However, that was short lived, as the Foxes’ Okazaki’s spectacular bicycle kick put them back on top, five points clear & sending Gary Lineker into a frenzy as he stocks up with kleenex should Leicester take the crown.
But this all leaves ten clubs with a game in hand, so keep ‘em peeled for the dreaded double GW coming to an FPL site near you soon!
Speaking of FPL, the lack of games didn’t really reflect in the scoring, as some rather chunky tallies came into being & despite taking an 18 point lead on Saturday, the EIB were eventually overcome, as the IGM clawed it back to win by 42 points, taking their overall lead to 515.
Johnny Rev 7.0’s FC Bennweg-Zeis 1921 hold onto the Yellow Jersey, while figie ’s high town FC claimed the Big Shout Out with a very respectable 76 points
In the H2H, the IGM closed the gap on the EIB to just 12 points with a 19-13 win & once again, iesus’ Meteora Heartland FC stake their claim on the crown.
Over at the Stadium of Faith, my boozy grass experiment did little more than make large patches of the pitch turn brown & attract wasps.
So today, I am out with a can of green spray paint to do a spot of repair work.
Well, I say green. But it’s actually teal. But I reckon if I smudge it in with the heel of my boot, it won’t show……too much. ???
That being said, welcome everyone to your GW 31 thread
