Gameweek 34

So that was the double double…………it just did not quite deliver what we hoped and dreamed of as the massive hauls we anticpited failed to materialise……..48 Saka captainers could not believe it as he missed time and again v Ipswich, before being assaulted by Leif Davis…….29 Salah captainers watched him hit the woodwork twice with one shot……..and 62 Marmoush captainers watched City score four goals, and the only time that Marmoush got close to points his assist flicked off a Villa defender!! Still at least Southampton were happy, with that injury time goal they are now on 11 points, equalling the lowest ever Premier League total, five games to go to ensure Derby retain that award in their trophy cabinet!

At the top of the Evie Dove league, Netflix and Chilwell once again ripped their shirt off and hung it from the corner flag, with a very tidy 82 points extending their lead over Uptown Dunk to 36 points, and third spot changed again with YouGottaRohlWithIt the latest to step into the fray a further 12 points back.

In the Evie Dove Cup, having last gameweek knocked out Cally, Cally triumphed again to go into the last 32…..

……..and once again we had three draws……..for the second week in a row Tis is Howe we do it was level pegging, but this time fell foul of the deciding factor of ‘most goals scored’ with DC United taking the spoils, alongside Stranger Mings and Here we go !!

In the April stakes Notorious RBB and Ange Summers remained in the top three and were joined by 23/24 champ Crystal Pellis with a very tidy score of 107 points, powered by a handy 24 point bench boost, plus a late late show from Mateta, a lovely way to chip in with some points!

However whilst 107 points was good…….THIS was way way better……whilst we all spent ages deliberating over how many double gameweek players we could squeeze into our team………there was one team out there which thumbed their nose at the double gameweek, went with all single gameweek players, had only nine players contributing points, and still delivered an enormous 123 points…….take a bow Blaza Gladiators, what a gameweek!!!!

So on we push to Gameweek 34, in the home straight now……….

Your deadline is Saturday morning at 11:00……bring on the Free Hit frenzy!

Have a good one everyone, and all the best from all of us at the Evie Dove Foundation.
