Gameweek 21

Another breathtaking Premier League Gameweek is behind us, and this season just keeps on delivering, this big double gameweek opened with a cracking game full of controversy, with United turning the City of Manchester Red, and closed with a breathtaking comeback for City v Spurs, who once again delivered a game of two halves…….

In terms of what that meant for the Evie Dove Foundation League, ‘Siuuuu you later’ a team completely revitalised by their new image, soared to the top of the league with 1233 points, with ‘Champagne Pepe’ and ‘Romford Rejects’ in hot pursuit on 1228 and 1223 points respectively. ….. Well done guys, anything around an average of 64-65 points a week is impressive.

However the real action this week was all about the CHIPs……

SIX wildcards!! That’s six of you who completely revamped your team only four game weeks ago, who then decided to do exactly the same again!! 

Brave or Foolhardy? 

Well there were varying results with team scores ranging from 34 points up to 87 points, that huge total  delivered by ‘K.E.T.H. UTD’ who leapt into the top ten powered by a late show from an inspired Riyad Mahrez, with another 24 points on the bench showing the strength of this shiny new squad.

FOURTEEN Triple Captains…..

FOURTEEN x Haaland…..

Surely this would be the week that ‘Dom is below me’ got toppled???

Not this time I’m afraid – the big Norwegian was strangely subdued in the Manchester derby, then despite showing up with the rest of his team in the second half against Spurs it was too little too late to land a punch on ‘Dom’, with ‘Crystal Pellis’ on 84 points coming closest. Better luck next season guys!!

ONE Free HIt. 

And what a Free Hit it was……. ‘Gylo’s Galacticos’ absolutely annihilating the previous high score held by ‘Tinchy Sneijder’ …….A massive 102 points, powered by Captain Bruno Fernandes (38 points) and Rashford (12 points), who between them contrived to score one of the most outrageous goals in Premier League history, with Rashford apparently not interfering with play despite running along with the ball like a parent teaching their child to ride their bike without stabilisers!

Congrats ‘Gylo’ you are now in the box office seat for the £125 Free Hit prize, that is quite a target you have set for the others. This was also the highest score of the game week, albeit ‘Birdy’ also deserves a special mention, despite wallowing in the depths of the league they keep plugging on, this week notching 99 points including15 points from a well played Bench Boost. Keep going ‘Birdy’ the top 100 is in sight!!

All that leaves me to say is a quick apology – last week I congratulated ‘Wesley Crushers’ on achieving the almost impossible task of matching the infamous ‘‘Scamaccaroni Cheese’ Triple Captain 31 point debacle, however a recount revealed that ‘Wesley’ in fact weighed in with 32 points, meaning ‘Scamaccaroni’ continue to hold that particular honour…..

Oh and also I am sure you will join me in sending our thoughts to ‘Padds XI’ who despite an impressive 80 points, suffered the agony of seeing Solly March’s 19 points in first position on his bench. We’ve all been there ‘Padds’, be strong, you will get over it……

So, on we go to Gameweek 21, I am delighted to finally see a list of fixtures that starts on Saturday and ends on Monday!!

Have a great game week everyone and all the best from all of us at the Evie Dove Foundation.
