THE WEEK 11 REVIEW
ITS A
LOTTERY V THE HAIRY FROG DISCO
 |
| Coaches Andy, Calum & Peter. The founding fathers. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: LOTTERY BY 17
FANTASY
REALITY: DISCO BY 11.40
The
Lotteries dream of claiming 5 wins in a season took another hit this
week as Griffin Mark 3 stole the show with a whopping 40.40pts and
handed Coach Calum another meaningless win against his oldest rival
Coach Andy. The Lotteries season has fallen apart on the back of the
MJD injury. That and the fact that Wallace and Miller have no-one to
throw them the ball. That and the fact that Coach Reid has nullified
the effectiveness of McCoy and the entire Eagles outfit. It is
looking more and more likely that this is the last we will see of the
Lottery in this league. An off season franchise re-boot awaits.
Coach
Calum should be commended for the pick of Ingram and Ballard proved
to be the most effective of the Colts backs. A rare off day for the
Texans D was covered by the Griffin explosion. The Disco are back on
for a .500 season. The comeback starts here?
FRENCH
LEADER V POLARBEARS
 |
| Are Coach Pauls hopes of post season play melting away? |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: LEADER BY 3
FANTASY
REALITY: LEADER BY 9.58
The
Leader needed a 60 yard game or TD from Davis to defeat Paul's
Polarbears and send both themselves and the Swedes to the top of
their respective divisions. Coach Paul informed the press that
“Davis is averaging 23.5yrds over the last 4 weeks and hasn't found
the endzone since week 3.” Step forward Davis and his 83 yards and
1 touchdown performance! Coach Laurent now sits atop the South on
the back of a 3 game winning streak . If the Leader can come
through the divisional series 1-1 they will be nailed on for their
first ever visit to the post season! Coach Laurent's 7-4 comes on the
back of the second toughest schedule in the league with his opponents
averaging 112.90pts for my money that makes the French Leader the
team of the season so far.
Coach
Pauls poor second half of the season continued as he find himself
looking up at a new leader in the North. It is now a very real
possibility that the Polarbears could miss out on the playoffs after
their record breaking start. Coach Paul has taken his share of stick
in the media this campaign due his lackadaisical approach to the live
draft and the resulting autopicked nature of his franchise but he has
responded with a series of good calls. The diviosnal series will
dictate whether Coach Paul was lucky or good.
SEVENTY
NINE FC V SUPER SWEDES
 |
| Gronk has broken arm. Coach Peter has broken heart. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: SWEDES BY 7
FANTASY
REALITY: SWEDES BY 4.1
Coach
Keeper League hasn't done much wrong this season (unlike the
pre-season where he almost brought the whole league crashing to its
knees) as 79FC tippy tappy their way towards the playoffs. But what
in the wide world of fantasy football was Richardson doing on the
bench? Explain yourself Coach! Yes, Tom was terrific but he kept
throwing the darn ball to your opponent's tight end. 79FC's four
Patriots accounted for an astonishing 76.54pts, whats even more
astonishing is that wasn't enough for the win.
Coach
Peter's love hate relationship with Stafford continued this week as
his starter was woeful against the Pack. Stafford needs to have a
long hard look at himself and its not going to be pretty. Luckily
for the Swedes their Coach had to good sense to secure the services
of Gronkowski on draft and the big fella delivered a match winning
28.70pts. Is there another TE in fantasy capable of this kind of
performance? One thing is for sure, Gronk won't be doing this again
anytime soon having busted up his forearm. Gronk is forcast to out
for 4 to 6 weeks or as its called in CNFLE, the rest of the season!!!
On top of that we now here that McGahee has a torn MCL and fracture
in his right knee and is also out for the season. This win took the
Swedes to the top of the North but may also have ended their
challenge!
WEST
COAST MAFIA V BENCHWARMERS
 |
| Coach Cullen has been warned. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: MAFIA BY 10
FANTASY
REALITY: WARMERS BY 26.03
Coach
Cullen's frustration's continued with this disappointing loss to the
yo-yoing Bench Warmers. Questions will be asked by the league's
disciplinary panel over the Mafia's decision not to replace an
inactive Hernandez. Unless the league receive a credible explanation
Coach Cullen will receive a slap around the face with a wet fish,
probably a haddock, although the use of cod has not be ruled out at
this stage. The Mafia now drop 2 behind the Central's run away
leaders but with the all important divisional series taking place over
weeks 12 and 13 the door to the playoffs remains a jar for the Mafia.
Coach
Richard would appear to have a very simple coaching philosophy. Let
Rogers and the Pack D carry the load and fill the rest of the roster
with whatever is available. It's a style that has somehow kept the
Warmers in the hunt. A couple of wins in the divisional series and
the Warmers could cause the mother of all upsets in the fiercely
competitive North.
TTTTAYLOR
V AUTOPICKWARRIORS
 |
| Coach Conor. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: WARRIORS BY 9
FANTASY
REALITY: WARRIORS BY 1.98
Coach
Conor finally broke his disheartening 4 game losing streak with this
ugly, ugly win over a pitiful Ttttayor. AJ Green has been the
standout for the Warriors all season long and will already be
penciled in on many a season 5 draft sheet. Outside of Green this
game is best forgotten as quickly as possible. The win does however
just about keep the Warriors in with an outside shot at the post
season.
With the
Disco's win against the Lottery Coach Taylor now looks favourite for
season 5's number one pick in the draft. Ryan imploded, Jones has
the look of a bust about him and Smith is no Smith. Ttttaylor have 1
more win left in them this season, 1 more win at best.
FEAR
FACTORY V THE BONE ROCKS
 |
| Botond has been warned. |
FANTASY
PREDICTION: ROCKS BY 17
FANTASY
REALITY: ROCKS BY 72.52
The
Rocks just need to hold their nerve in the upcoming divisional series
to take the Central divisional title and stride purposely in to the
post season for the first time in their history. With the Swedes
proving the doubters wrong in the North we could be looking at an
all Swedish final. It's not the first time that the Rocks have
flirted with the playoffs, but never before have they held their
destiny so firmly in their own hands. If they blow it from here there will
only be one man to blame.
Coach
Botond became the second Coach to be called before the league's
disciplinary panel after fielding an in active Hawkins and this from
a team on a five game win streak! The fact that the Factory roaster
currently contains two kickers makes the Hawkings crime all the more
heinous. Coach Botond may point to the fact that Hawkings
replacement would have needed a 72.53
haul to win the match up but its a principle that's a steak here.
This defeat drops the Factory to 2nd in the South and they
will need to buck their ideas up or risk missing out on the post
season entirely.
GOOD
CALL
Coach
Laurent. Jones in for Peterson. Those 11.50pts proved decisive.
BAD CALL
Coach
Keeper League. Leaving Richardson on the bench. You have one of the
best young running backs in the league, PLAY HIM!
ON THE
BOARD
Griffin
Mark 3: 226.94
Vick:
151.34
Where
does the time go my friends? We have just three weeks of the regular
season left and someone 10 teams remain in with a shout of the post
season. The divisional series will prove decisive for many, you will
need every advantage available to you. If you want that winning edge
be sure to check out the week 12 preview hitting the world wide web
this Sunday!
Good
luck gentleman
