Two Peanuts
Welcome to another season of Fantasy Football,
First up a big thanks to Jack for collating all the teams whilst I was away – and second of all for putting together a nice new easy to update Excel file.
I think we should pause on that last fact for just one second before we continue…
I did not setup the file this year… so whatever happens, my hands are clean!!
So you can imagine how thrilled I was to see that when Jack sent me the file for the first time today… that I was top!!!
Ha ha… Brilliant… you couldn’t make it up!!
Anyway you can now expect weeklly(ish) updates.
See the file attached.
Time for a few facts:
So who were the most popular players picked this year?
Rooney in 47 teams
Cole in 41 teams
Lampard in 39 teams
Gerrard in 38 teams
Jagielka in 35 teams
Drogba in 33 teams
Who are best value players at this early stage?
Diouf with 23 points per million
Carroll with 20 points per million
Knight with 12 points per million
Elmander with 12 points per million
Harewood with 12 points per million
Ormerod with 12 points per million
I wonder how many have got players from that list?!!
As we always say though, it’s a marathon and not a sprint… but it has been a good start for Ed and Sam who take 2nd and 3rd place. Lizzie and Tim make up the rest of the top 5, whilst 6 to 10 consists of Steven, Carl, Nick, Jamie and Simon. Good work everyone but don’t get too big for your boots – the banter will be even worse on the way down!!
EVERYONE WILL GET 4 TRANSFERS THIS YEAR
These can be sent in at any time and will come into effect from the next Friday
Prizes and “bonus” stuff to be announced shortly
I am beyond excited so in honour I am going to share with you a few classic little jokes that I recently heard…
Why did the mushroom go to the party?
Because he was a fun guy!
What’s orange and sounds like a parrot?
A carrot!
What’s red and sits in the corner?
A naught strawberry!
What’s green and sings?
Elvis Parsley!
I have CDO. It’s like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but in alphabetical order as it should be.
And my personal favourite…
Two peanuts were walking down a spooky road last night.
One was a salted.

Quick fact: nobody who has started the season top has ever gone on to win it…
The only prize that matter is: who has the best team name?
Another 10 months of ridiculous claims – brilliant!!
Two Peanuts…
I found your entry interesting so I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…
One word: fix.
