Week 03: Early Jostle

Jostle

It's that early jostle for position that we so love each season that sees Dave 'Second Place' Clayton upwardly pushing himself further away from Second Place.  His Pyeators not only earn him his second consecutive Manager of the Week Certificate [for scoring 67 points] but they have also consolidated an already impressive lead.  Is it too early to consider this side to be Champions Elect?

Well, yes it is, actually, so if you're doing that then you should probably stop it.  You can certainly count on current Champions, and thirdly placed, Neil's Diamonds to not let Pyeators have an easy ride of it that's for sure.

You're all lovely.

Will you excuse me if I just send you a list if players rather than inserting them in the spreadsheet? They are:

134    de Gea

196    Alonso

264    Valencia

308    Trippier

441    Mane

I fear I may have transgressed the rules because it seemed quite easy this time. No doubt you'll let me know, Mr president!

Thanks again and I look forward to a rumbustious and contentious season

Kind regards

Mike

Chairman responds:

Urmm... where do I begin?

Maybe with the Spreadsheet?
