Premier League

Zinman 23
Blue B 23
B.B.B. 16
Minizin 12
Derby 9
Stairs 9
Dingle 7
Lady J 2

It seems that this week being a scorer in the game maybe gives you the ability to predict better!! Whistle  Joint leaders this week in the PL, and two players who are both in form currently with both Zinman and Blue Baggie scoring an impressive 23 points each.  For Zinman this represents a season high score and for Blue its his second best haul.  Both scored a max on the Gamball and then added to this by scoring on 6 other games including one more CS each.  Blue's score could have been even better but his Bonus was wiped out due to the abandoned game at Bournemouth - although he would likely have lost 3 points with his record on the Bonus!!

Third place goes to BBB with 16 points, he scored on 6 games and had 2 CSs including a rare success on the Bonus for him.  Minizin rounds out the double figure score with 12 points, he missed the Gamball, had a postponed Bonus but did score on 5 other games.  Derby and Stairs ended with 9 points each, like the others they had no Bonus this week, so like others maybe their score this week is slightly inflated!!  God help them next week when they have to use 2 Bonus Balls!!

Dingle is 7th with 7 points, he managed to get a CR on the Gamball but missed on his bonus and managed no CSs, whcih we know boost the score nicely.  Lady Jane is bottom for their 3rd week in a row with just 2 points.  Her form is awful at the moment and if she wants to have any chance of avoiding relegation she will need to improve during the January transfer window!!

205 Zinman
183 Blue Baggie
172 Minizin
171 Derby
165 BBB
156 Stairs
133 Dingle
124 Lady Jane


Zinman stretches his lead a little to 22 points and is the first player to go over 200 points Thumb up, but now its Blue who is in 2nd spot and is now 11 points ahead of Minzin who rises to 3rd, with Derby dropping two spots to 4th. BBB is now breathing down their necks and is only 6 points off Derby.  Stairs has stabilised his sinking ship and can't be ruled out just yet.

Dingle and LJ are still fighting it out for the bottom 2 spots and are falling further adrift as each week goes by.

Championship

SCO          18
Twerton    17
AAA          15
Sanjay      12
BaggieOne  12
Snooty        6
Themaclad  0

One of the Championship's better weeks with 5 players reaching double figures though the 2 that didn't fell a long way short! Only 1 correct gamball prediction, with 2 players choosing, wisely, to avoid it, and for the 2nd week in a row, the bonus ball actually added points to the total (a rarity in the Championship this season).

SCO and Twerton both scored on 7 games with SCO edging ahead due to his one extra correct score though both missed out on the gamball. AAA matched SCO's 2 correct scores, including his bonus, among his 4 correct predictions. As he has done for the last few weeks, he avoided the gamball saving himself 1 point not that it would have altered his final position.

A rarity for Sanjay - a double figure score. His first since week 3 and 12 points represents his second highest return so far - could this be a start of a resurgence? Sanjay was matched by BaggieOne who only scored on 3 games but was boosted by scoring with every ball.

Not such a good week for Snooty and Themaclad. Snooty scored on 5 games, behind only SCO and Twerton, but he missed out on all his balls to leave him some way off the pack with just 6 points. Themaclad had a 'mare - zero points with just 2 correct predictions and a balnk on his balls.

174 Twerton
168 SCO
168 Snooty
150 AAA
133 BaggieOne
125 Themaclad
  85 Sanjay


Changes at the top this week as Snooty's brief spell at the top is ended by his poor score. Twerton seems to have recovered his early season form as his 3rd consecutive double figure score sends him back top with SCO's good week seeing him take a share of 2nd place - the race for promotion is hotting up with these 3 beginning to open up a bit of a gap to AAA in 4th. Sanjay still has some way to go to catch Themaclad at the foot of the table but a few more weeks like this one may see that happen.

Zin


For reference the Bournemouth-Luton predictions were null and void this week due to the game being abandoned. This means that next week Derby, Stairs, Minizin and Blue Baggie will all have to play 2 Bonus balls and Zinman can play 2 score balls.

Early results this week, great job.
Does Zinman ever have a poor week.
Get the Gamball right and it's plain sailing.

I reckon you will need to get the Gamball right again this week just to offset the two Bonus Balls you have to play!!!!

You have to go back 7 weeks to see Zinman outside the top 4 in the weekly scores!! That sort of form will win you a title!! Long way to go though and he has been prone to bad runs in previous years.

It's almost as if I get to choose the games myself.......
