Scoreboard - Week 13

I'm finally back from Bangkok! Here's a delayed look at the Week 13 happenings in TFLTalk League:


TFLTalk League - Week 13 (Overall)
Nothing changed in the top spot, as Chew Howe Chen's Rob Rangers retained pole position with 270 pts, His consistent performance moved him into #8 in the Overall Leaderboard, though he remains 32 points behind the overall leader Zwe Oak Soe.

Ong Kuan Yuan's KY $5,000 IS MINE! remained in 2nd spot with 262pts, narrowing the gap to 8 points from the top of the league. A solid 32pts weekly total caused his team to move up to 28th position in the Overall Leaderboard.

Another non-mover is mika boy's MikaBoyz, who also scored 32pts this week, though with the unusual captaincy choice of Peter Crouch. Nevertheless, it propelled him up to the 31st spot in the Overall Leaderboard.

Making a reappearance in the Top 5 is Chiau Ren Yu's Manchester Jurong United. Besides the usual suspects of Fellaini, Suarez & Mata, the selection of Bergovic & Caulker meant that his team finished #1 in the weekly rankings, and is currently ranked #35 in the Overall Leaderboard. 

That's 4 teams from TFLTalk League that is in the Top 50 Overall Leaderboard, which shows how competitive this league have been so far! :)

Falling 1 place to #5 is Ong Xin Zhong's TeamToday with another average week of 19 points. The captaincy of Rooney didn't panned well for Ong, while Suarez, Jelavic & Nolan were the only performing players from this week. With only 10pts separating 5th and 11th, another average week could see a new team in the Top 5. 



Interesting captaincy choices from the Top 5 teams: Manchester Jurong United & Bummers United went with the popular choice of RVP, Luqman FC selected Suarez, Beanoz FC went with Fellaini, but the most unique choice has to go to Dream FC selection of...GEOFF CAMERON!

However, based on the number of clean sheets this season, it's extremely risky to captain a GK or Defender to double on clean sheet bonus. My advice would be to captain strikers, where the chances of them scoring are much higher.



The current top 3 teams for November are in the Top 5 TFLTalk League leaderboard, while Rob Rangers is in the Top 10, which makes an interesting dilemma: Should you copy their teams in order to rise up the leaderboard, or is it time to go for differentials in order to catch up with them?

I'm still resisting the urge to place Fellaini & Suarez in my fantasy team until their 5th yellow card...hopefully after next weekend when they serve their bans. :P

And lastly...


Story: David Ngiau has quoted that he will eat his shorts if Frank Lampard outscores Yaya Toure this season. If that happens, I'll personally sponsor a pair of shorts for his consumption.

With Frank Lampard unlikely to feature again this weekend, looks like Yaya Toure will finally catch up with the Chelsea midfielder.
