Week 08: Gavin's Dice

Gavin's rolling all his dice and he's coming up Snake Eyes

For the second week in a row, congratulations go to this week's Manager of the Week: Mike Smears.  His Irishpool scored another large 20 points pushing themselves up another seven places into sixteenth in the table. Commiserations, on the other hand, to Gavin Ward's Roll All The Dice.  They fall furthest, six places, leaving them below Mr Smears's Irishpool in nineteenth.  That'll explain Mr Ward's rececnt transfers then.

Subject: Shocking behaviour - transfer time!

Hoping you are well, Mr Chairman, Sir?

My boys are letting me down, and so I must throw them out into the cold. Poor sportsmanship can no longer be tolerated.

(God, I’m harsh!)

Honorable Dr Professor Esteemed Mr President

Please excuse me addressing you with such informality.

In my capacity as Manager of the Year [or did you say week?] I require a slight adjustment to be made - please see to it at once, young man.

I assume that, in view of my late arrival, you are going to produce two league tables in future, one of those who started inexcusably early, and one for those gentlemen like myself who only began last week?

Your humble servant

Brexit from Bassett.

Transfer:
OUT - 579 Ayew
IN - 665 Slimani

----------------------
Chairman responds:
Sir, at this rate, you really won't need a separate league table to appear at the top.  Ascendant.

Starpratt Mustgo
-------------------
   From: Malcolm MeadenPratt
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

Dear Sir

I do believe that your Fantasy Football game is causing division, underhand and neferious practices within the Meaden-Pratt house hold.  Last night my new Bride announced that she had already sent you a list of transfers as it was "unacceptable" that I was higher up the table than she was and that it was her intention to "finish above me".  The cheek! So as the Gauntlet has been cast down!

(Please would you do these subs for me - if she beats me I will have a whole season trying to live it down!!!!)

523 A Sanchez     ARS  £7.6        
485    E Lamela     MF     TOT   £4.1

----------------------
Chairman responds:
Er...

Starpratt Mustgo
-------------------
   From: Malcolm MeadenPratt
     To: Chairman@LittleSmasher.com

Hi Mr Smash

Here's another throw of the dice.  I was going to go for Son at Spurs, but she beat me to him!!! So can I have  
577 ST  J Defoe  SUN   6.2   for 
348 MF  N Kante  CHE   3.5   

and I should have said 

523 A Sanchez ARS  £7.6 for 
584 Kane and 

485 E Lamela MF TOT £4.1 for  
348 N Kante 

See you soon mate

M         

----------------------
Chairman responds:
Ah.

And I hope the marital counselling works out for you both.  No, really I do.
