Week 17: Rayner's Leap of Faith

There is a Manager amongst you who doesn't believe in all this transferring nonsense. He thinks that the OFFL test should be one that lasts an entire season without tinkering with the initial selection at all. This manager happens to be in Twentieth place with little to no chance of rising much in the forthcoming weeks. His team includes a goalkeeper currently enjoying a total of minus 9 points, a full back on minus 3 and a midfielder whose managed about three minutes playing time all season.

Experts predict an early OFFL Cup exit.

In fact, the OFFL Rumour Mill has churned out a possible explanation for such lunacy: it's a really poor excuse to justify a hands-off approach, enabling the Manager to jet off to places like China so he can make a point of not taking the opportunity to pick up really cheap 64GB flash memory USB keys for his mates.

Indeed, THAT sort of manager will never succeed.

Managers of the Week are Craig McHugh and Ant Reeves of Olymping Macdrid and Ant & Bex respectively. They each steered their charges to a large weekly score of 25 points apiece. RS T-Boy is joined at the top of the table on points by Inter Milandrover who take their season's spasm of top spots too early again this year.

The OFFL Cup will be taking place over Weeks 20, 21 and 22. So get your transfers in. Or, you should be lacking one, your team indeed.

Thank you.
