Week 18: Dave Clayton's Airing Cupboard is Full of Them

Dave Clayton's Airing Cupboard

In a week full of crazy league changes, one thing remains the same... Pyeators are top and extending their lead.

Yes, Dave Clayton's chaps currently enjoy a safety buffer of 28 points largely thanks to a lack of bed-linen laundry requirements. There have been so many clean sheets that the percentage of points from his defence is 27% better than the next best defensive team of Dowds Farm Goblins.

Realising, mid-yawn, that no-one in their right mind and with better things to do with their lives, is EVER NEVER EVER going to question a stat like that, we might try to pitch in a few more preposterous percentages per post perhaps.  But no more for this edition, eh?

Meanwhile, and surprisingly, Pyeators has just the seventh best attack in the League... Go on, have a gander why not?...

And before you bring yourself relief by finally giving in to that urge [which you've been inexplicably resisting] to press Delete on this post we must say congratulations to Karyn Meaden-Pratt for managing her Bourneslippy to a massive week's total of 27 points.  A Manager of the Week certificate would be winging its way to Ms Meaden-Pratt if they materially existed but, alas, they haven't existed since the dissolution of the RFFL.  Long story, best kept to a minimum.

Best kept to a Zero, in fact.

Move on.

IN
   110 GK T Courtois    CHE  £4.1

Gor' [Chairman Smash] Bless Us Everyone!

Ok, time to make my annual pre-Christmas panic transfers ahead of the big cup.  It seems I've drawn a favourable first round which shouldn't cause me too much trouble.

Here goes nothing...

OUT

603 - Chigwell
187 - Gomez
274 - Otamendi
604 - Holding
605 - Wijnaldum
380 - Mirallas
366 - Townsend

IN

151 - Bellerin
204 - Bertrand
284 - Fonte
310 - McAuley
337 - Stanislas
362 - McArthur
402 - Coutinho

Nothing says inspired leadership quite like changing your entire defence and midfield.  If you could make these swaps for me sir,  I'd be ever so festive and grateful.

Thanks!
Ashley

Chairman responds:
Festive AND grateful?  Gosh, how exciting?  A bit like Giving AND Receiving.

You've given your transfer requests.  The OFFL HQ has received them.

You did keep the receipt this time, yeah?
