EPL Fantasy Football Gameweek 4 Update
Credit:
Gameweek 4 was all about hat-tricks. Man City's Sergio Aguero and Man United's Wayne Rooney both earning the match ball in their respective games and at the same time catapulting some Fantasy Football managers to dizzying heights. The Extratime.ie league saw plenty of movement as a result of this Manchester duo.
Sitting pretty at the summit of the Extratime.ie League table is Gavin Phelan's Ravers. Gavin is clearly focused. He is so focused he didn't even waste time bothering to capitalise his own name such is his tunnel vision for the task at hand. His Ravers popped an impressive 73 points, nearly half of which was due to Wayne Rooney acting as captain. Other key players were his Man City pairing of Kompany and Silva and the Newcastle defender Danny Simpson.
Following up behind gavin is Mikey Treacy's WeAreTheRedArmy. He did capitalise his name, but at the sacrifice of wasting time using the spacebar on his team name. Despite SIX of his team registering 2 points or less, he still charged over the line with 64 points. Messrs Rooney, Kompany and Ryan Taylor doing the work for Mikey.
In third and fourth place are Ian Denner's (Danny Wallace inspired) Yes Men and Jack Hurmez's shiek jack. Both were impressive points scorers with 88 and 93 points respectively. Both had Aguero and Rooney, with the United striker captain. Points galore and up the table they flew.
Last but not least was a man so delighted with his 5th place berth on the Extratime.ie table he got in touch to ensure we'd publish this article. So Niall Gilligan's The Bit 'o' Red, take a bow, you made the grade (this week). He had eight average showings with three players earning 59 out of his 79 points.
And so we enter Gameweek 5. The games are already afoot. Arsenal have gone down by four goals to three against Blackburn and with it even the most hardcore of Gunners fans subbing the last traces of their defenders from their selections.
Let us know through the usual outlets on our Facebook page and on the 'tweet machine' by putting @ExtratimeNews in your message how you are fairing. Personally I lie 301st out of 500 in the league. My plan is to lull everyone into a false sense of security before surging up the table. Or so I tell myself anyhow.
