Week 14 & 15: Reaffirming Superiority

Clayton and Borrett sharing the Week's spoils
Well, I suppose the trend continues with a Manager of the Week Certificate accompanying top spot but this time it is to reaffirm superiority, not steal it.

Extending his lead at the top of the table from 1 point to 14 points, Dave Clayton is [joint] Manager of the Week after scoring 16 points with his Pyeators.  He shares the certificate with Nick Borrett whose Dowds Farm Goblins climb three places to land in sixth.

Happy Birthday, by the way, for Tuesday for Mike Smears.  Another uncountable year older, another telegram from the Queen.

What Ho! McHugh? Minus 4 points.  Giggle.  Everyone stare at him.  Point.  Laugh.  He's down two places.  [Is that all?]

Dear Mr Chairman Sir,

Hope all is well with you, the missus and the wee ones. I fear it may be time to kick out some more players and replace them with others with greater thirst for the game. However, I am a bit confused about the stats. For example, I have a player called Capoue who plays for Watford. According to my team stats this week, there is a 0 in both the Week and Total columns for him (indicating he is a bit sh!t and has been sh!t since the start of the season). However, when I look at the stats for the full list of potential players at the bottom of the email there is a 14 in the Total column for him (indicating he is not so shit). How so?! What am I misinterpreting? Please help!

(I see you have the same sh!t/not sh!t player. Good man!)

Xx

Chairman responds:
You may have noticed in the Players List Thingy Sheet [http://j.mp/SelectYourTeam] that he scored all of those 14 points by the end of Week 6.  

This lulled many under-performing managers into believing he was The Way Forward. A mini-flurry of Capoue-inspired transfers drifted up against the rather grandiose OFFL HQ doors leaving Mr Capoue with the impression that he had Arrived and therefore deserved a bit of a rest. 

Your particular Capoue transfer IN was received in Week 8 meaning he began his ineffectual presence at the beginning of Week 9.

My heart goes out to you and all of those who were duped by this scam.  A strongly worded letter to his agent, Martha Fischer, should probably do the trick.  Or you could try BBC's Watchdog.

Esteemed Mr President

Most important: I have risen from my sickbed to set matters right. Please can you effect the following transfer:

IN
536 Vokes

OUT
567 Rashford.

I apologise for not being able to rise to my usual level of abuse, but I’m feeling too poorly. I will try try to rectify this when I next write.

Bedridden from Bassett

Chairman responds:
Oof.  I wondered why you hadn't popped up like an 11th November Poppy recently.  And sure enough, having fought in both World Wars and the Crimean I knew you'd give us a sign that all is well.

Please stay well.
