Week 2 & 3

Nothing more certain in life, than an unwanted international break. Just as teams start to purr (or, as in the case of Manchester United, when the wheels start to wobble and fall off!), so comes an international break. Well, glad that one is over – but just as sure as night follows day, the next international break come in just a few weeks time. Wildcard anyone?

In the Head-to-Head league, 2 managers maintain a 100% record so far, Richard Harrop and Benny WQ. Both face managers this week who have lost 2 of their opening 3 fixtures, so both should be expected to maintain their current form. Surprisingly, Martin Sattherthwaite also remains unbeaten, securing 2 wins and a draw thus far. Can this form continue? Martin, is like an elephant in a tree – funny to look at, everyone is amazed it is there, but we all know it will come crashing down anytime soon. At the bottom of the table Joe Davison picked up his first point of the season to join Chris McCarthy on a solitary point, meaning that all managers have now scored a point in the league.

In the classic league, Tayfun continues to sit at the top of the table, but sees his gap closed by Shane Bennett. At the bottom of the table, Goose, is rock-solid in last place. Surprisingly, doubling his score at this early stage wouldn’t propel him into 1^st place! However, given we have only played 3 rounds, there is still plenty of time to change this and a few good weeks should see him move sharply up the table.

In the Super 6 league, Dan Terry has had a good few rounds so far, and see himself sitting 7 points clear already at the top. Rob G finds himself propping all others at the moment, and will need a few rounds of good scores (or others around him forgetting to play!) to begin catching up. Some interesting fixtures this week to predict, with both City and Liverpool widely tipped to win, and likely score highly, as well as the North London Derby on Sunday!
