Fantasy League Week Nine Update

With the Autumn internationals and the Zurich Premiership running in tandem, all teams were hit by call ups this week and that has led to some interesting results in the ERE Fantasy League. Let's see how you are all getting on.

Fantasy League Week Nine

This week's Martin Johnsons are:
"Champagne Rugby" managed by Sam Fulling with a score of 83 points
"The Ed's Choice" managed by our very own Glen who have moved up 12 places.
 
This week's Boris Johnsons are:
"Whittocks Wanderers" managed by Dan Smith who were outscored by all of the bottom three with a record low of just 7 points.  Hmmm!
"Jerry de Grewcock" managed by Simon Rhodes have fallen 11 places to 43rd
 
WE HAVE A NEW LEADER!  Yes, "Ramblin' Men" have finally rambled over "Wherefore the Beast" into the top spot. "Wherefore the Beast" were hit more severely by the international call ups, and Ramblin' Man's team of squad players did him proud.  Other than the top 2 the top 5 is unchanged, as are the bottom 5.
"Champagne Rugby" managed by Sam Fulling had another good week, consolidating on last week's performance to get the top score this week and find themselves snapping on the heels of the top 5.  Glen's team, "The Ed's choice" had a good week largely thanks to the boots of Olly Barkley and Mark Van Gisbergen.
 
"Whittocks Wanderers"  were ravaged by a combination of international duties and injuries with just two of the team making it on to the pitch this week.  It was a similar story for "Jerry de Grewcock" who had just 5 players making an apperance.
 
In the Allegiance mini-league the Tigers are stretching their lead (thanks to "Champagne Rugby"'s efforts this week).
 
Ramblin' Man, Sam Fulling and Glen you get to watch your choice of the England v South Africa or Wales v New Zealand games.  Dan Smith and Simon Rhodes you get to watch Ireland v USA.
