Week 29: Reverse Leapfrog

Sarah Bielby unleapfrogging the Manager of the Week

The tussle for top continues between the Bielby and the Pratt.  "The BRuss" takes over this week thanks to some exquisite transfers last week. "The BRuss", however, knows his tenure could be short-lived as The Prattster has 8 transfers left to improve his team against Bielby's own 2.

RS-TBOY are still in with a shout if luck goes their way, of course.  Let's face it though, it won't.

And talking of transfers, the only Manager with zero transfers remaining for the season is this week's Manager of the Week.  Indeed, Smasher finished splurging his quota a couple of weeks ago but seemed to justify his decision by winning two MotW Certificates on the trot.  Inter Milandrover scored 11 points this week taking themselves into fourth.

Meanwhile in the League, has Neil's Diamonds' 10 points re-ignited the top ten finish hopes of manager McConaghy?  Has Pedro's Plodders lost the will to live?  And as for former Weakest Link winner, Sarah Bielby... imagine a slow motion leapfrog in reverse... that's what your team just did in the table with Inter Milandrover.  Minus 3.  Nice.
