TWO AND TWO

ITS A LOTTERY V WEST COAST MAFIA

From the Mafia to the Lottery.

FANTASY PREDICTION: LOTTERY BY 13

                                             FANTASY REALITY: LOTTERY BY 12.04

It was there for everyone to see. The Ravens D matched up against the Browns O. What kind of a fool would fail to adjust their line up according? A Coach Cullen type fool it turns out as the potty mouthed pixie dropped the ball in spectacular fashion and handed the win to the Lottery. Yes, Forte had a gimpy ankle, yes Romo tossed up 5 interceptions and yes its true that had the Ravens D started the Mafia would still have lost but an error of this magnitude makes you wonder what Coach Cullen is doing in this league. No wonder the Mafia sit second bottom with a 1 and 3 record. Poor. Very poor.

The Lottery will of course accept all gifts of this nature throughout the season as they move to a heady 2-2. Coach Elliott was overjoyed to have claimed the D with three of his regular starters missing due to byes. “As soon as I saw the Ravens D match up against the Browns I knew this one was over but thanks to Coach Cullens stupidity we are an unbelievable 2-2!”

Whilst its easy to dismiss the Lottery they have beaten 2 divisional rivals in consecutive weeks. Expect this win streak to come to a crashing halt next week against the Warriors.

SUPER SWEDES V PAULS POLARBEARS

4-0 Baby!

FANTASY PREDICTION: SWEDES BY 10

                                             FANTASY REALITY: POLARBEARS BY 1.86

Phew. That was close! Coach Paul showed the rest of the league what this coaching malarkey is all about starting QB Fitzpatrick ahead of QB Manning. The Bills may have been handed a second half pasting by the Patriots but Fitzpatrick's 34.40pts, 9.04pts more than the benched Manning, proved decisive as the Polarbears eeked out a precious win against North rivals the Swedes. The Polarbears now stand at 4-0 and remain on course for the perfect season. Take a look at Paul's bench and its difficult to question any of the great man's thinking. Do we have a Carltonbowl winning coach in the making?

McGahee. There, I said it. McGahee. See, I just did it again. McGahee, McGahee, McGahee. McGahee, sitting on the Swedes bench clutching his 23.16 match winning pts to his 68 inch chest. Okay, so it not up there with Coach Cullen's Ravens D fiasco but still, Green-Ellis ahead of McGahee? The Swedes have now dropped 2 on the spin and are in danger of becoming who we thought they were. Week 5 sees them take on another struggling franchise in the shape of the 2-2 Disco. McGahee.

 BENCHWARMERS V AUTOPICKWARRIORS

Rogers.  Delivered.

FANTASY PREDICTION: WARRIORS BY 14

                                           FANTASY REALITY: BENCHWARMERS BY 3.1

 

Phew.  That was close! Don't you just hate it when your team posts a 127.16pt week and still loses! That was the fate for the Warriors this week as they slipped to 2-2 against the yo-yoing Bench Warmers. Now I know your all expecting me to highlight Witten and his matching winning 20.20pts sitting on the Warriors bench but starting TE Gonzalez has been consistent enough this season and Witten was starting against the Warriors own Bears D so despite it not playing off this remains a good call for me. It may just be time to start showing a little love for the Warriors, they are a decent QB away from being relevant.

The Rookie may only be 2-2 but the Bench Warmers have the potential to be the most explosive team in the league. Roy Rogers finally delivered and WR's Bryant and Cruz always have the potential for big numbers. This victory looks all the more impressive with both Spiller and Bush benched in favour of Turner and Tate Modern. Whilst Tate Modern is an acquired taste, Turner looked excellent in a 26.10pts haul against the Panthers. Week 5's match up against the Bones Rocks should give us a clear indication of which way the rookie's season is headed.

TTTTAYLOR V THE BONE ROCKS

Coach Lars?

FANTASY PREDICTION: TTTTAYLOR BY 14

                                           FANTASY REALITY: TTTAYLOR BY 2.28

 

Phew.  That was close! Your current Champion finally put a W on the board with this narrow win against the Rocks. QB Ryan continues to shine and RB Charles is proving that half a knee is more than enough to be successful in today's NFL. Whilst 105.36pts is nothing to shout about the win will unnerve fellow coaches as Tttaylor is famed for overturning slow starts. Week 5 sees Silent Coach Johnathan take on the holidaying French Leader. It's far to early to right off your defending Champions just yet.

Win one, lose one, is the story so far for the Bones Rocks as they drop to 2-2. Season in, season out they seem to lack the little something needed to take them to the playoffs. If the truth is to be told we have seen a series of mediocre performances from the Rocks and even a stunning 41pts haul from the 49ers D couldn't deliver the W. Could it be time to offer up Super Cam in an effort to sure up a weak and inconsistent receiving core?

SEVENTY NINE FC V THE HAIRY FROG DISCO

No-ones dancing at the Disco.

FANTASY PREDICTION: HAIRIES BY 1 

FANTASY REALITY: 79 BY 32.58

 

Phew.  That wasn't close at all.  Seventy Nine New England FC stomped all over the Disco to move to 2-2. The win looks all the more impressive when you consider that WR LaFell contributed 0.00pts and Golden Tate figured 0.70pts was all he could give in a disappointing loss to the Rams. 79 currently have one of the strongest benches in the league and remember Coach Martin is former Carltonbowl champion. Its been said before but its worth repeating, as long as New England keep performing 79 will keep winning. Expect another win against the hapless Mafia in week 5 and 79 could...go...all...the...way!

These are dark days at the Disco as this loss drops them to 2-2. Coach Calum was so despondent he left the game early to watch some golf. The franchise's problems appear to centre around the inability to run, catch or kick the ball. The QB Griffin Mark 3 remains the trade of the season and the Texans D have proved a commendable pick, but beyond that, nothing. The Disco have yet to break 120pts and have failed to break 100 in 50% of their match ups this season. It appears to be taking Coach Calum longer to get over last seasons Carltonbowl heartbreak than most would have predicted. Is it better to have appeared in a Carltonbowl and lost than never to have appeared at all?

FRENCH LEADER V FEAR FACTORY

Where's the French Leader?

FANTASY PREDICTION: FACTORY BY 7

FANTASY REALITY: FACTORY BY 21.08

Coach Laurent hops off on holiday and the Leader promptly lose. Its happening far to regularly for it to be a coincidence. Its a lack of commitment you see, a lack of commitment that transmits itself to the players. Who doesn't slack off when the boss is away? After a decent start to the season this defeat drops the Leader to 2-2. Expect Ttttaylor to benefit from the leaderless Leader in week 5.

Coach Botond will be quietly confident as the Factory move to 2-2. Last seasons Bills experiment has been rejected in favour of a far more even spread of players. QB Brees finally delivered and WR Marshall looks set for a 20pt haul more often than not. The Factory match up against the unbeaten league leaders in week 5 and are currently projected to win by 11pts. Should this projection become a reality will the league have to finally fear the Factory?

GOOD CALL

Coach Paul. Fitzpatrick ahead of Manning.  Outstanding.

BAD CALL

Coach Cullen.  Leaving the Ravens D on the bench.  Inexcusable. 

ON THE BOARD

Griffin Mark 3 - 86.00pts

Vick - 57.88pts.

CNFLE has always prided itself on being the most competitive fantasy league in the world but with 9 teams currently 2 and 2 its starting to get a little ridiculous.  For the facts on how Week 5 will unfold be sure to join us on Sunday for the essential week 5 preview.

 Good luck gentlemen.
