As the season draws to a close and Fantasy managers begin to focus on next month’s Euro 2012 tournament in Poland and Ukraine, we’re not quite done with domestic matters just yet. Ahead of next weekend, then, we’re rolling out another Last Chance Saloon League, while also casting an eye over the Scout League, with our chances of providing a third successive Fantasy Premier League (FPL) champion looking strong:
This morning, we’ve opened up the Last Chance Saloon league ahead of next Sunday’s 11.30 deadline. The rules are simple- the scoring applies to Gameweek 38 only, and the team with the highest tally over next weekend’s ten fixtures takes the crown. We will NOT, however, allow entry to fresh teams, as this goes against the spirit of the competition. Pretty straightforward, really.
There’s no prize on the line here. No gold-plated yacht moored in Monaco or vouchers to spend on assorted sundries – purely pride and bragging rights are the order of the day.
So if you fancy giving Granville something else to moan about before the season is out, or are keen to knock Mark off his lofty perch, sign up using the code below and prepare yourself for battle.
While many will be happy to take on the challenge and salvage a season of disappointment, at the top of the Scout League there’s plenty more at stake. Gary McLean looks to be firmly in the driving seat to take the crown – he’s 13 points clear of second-placed Jonathan Pickard and, with Martin Skrtel still to play tomorrow evening, will be hoping for a Liverpool clean sheet against Chelsea to extend his cushion at the summit.
Indeed, a further look at the Overall Standings suggests Gary could well be poised to climb to number one in the world by Tuesday evening. Currently sitting third in the rankings, he is just five points off the top but that Anfield encounter looks crucial to his chances. If Liverpool can keep Chelsea at bay and also find the net, his team would climb ahead of Sam Pater and Garry Bothwell and sit at the top of the leaderboard with a single Gameweek remaining. Nervy times indeed.
We wish Gary all the best in his quest for glory and hope he can follow in the footsteps of Jon Reeson in 2009/10 and Chris McGurn in 2010/11 by delivering the FPL title and Scout League double.
