The transfer auction is due to be held next Saturday , to date I have only heard from Nini and Rick as to who they wish to dump from their side . All managers are politely reminded that the players they wish to get rid of must be advised by Wednesday this week , failure to do this will result in your side remaining unchanged for the rest of the season . As my facebook seems to have gone tits up it is probably best to advise via e-mail paulbutcher66@aol.com or text 07402073452 .

Now this league has been up and running for a couple of seasons and by no means do I consider myself an expert , but I am willing to bet that for some managers the forthcoming transfer window cannot come soon enough .

The first set of fixtures saw the lowest scoring week of the season . The Elite league had its tightest start of the season to date . Newly relegated Rick was the only winner in the Premier , whilst in the Chump Nick is going to have to improve his goal scoring if he wants to find a way out of the bottom league .

RESULTS

The above fixtures will take into account this weekends FA Cup matches and next weeks mid-week Premiership games .

PHASE THREE

PROMOTION AND RELEGATIONS

THE FINAL RESULTS AND TABLES

ELITE

So Stalker leads they way at the top of the Elite League at the end of phase three . With only one point it was odds on Rob would face the drop, he also managed to concede the most goals throughout the phase . However Rick’s demise was less predictable , his brother just heading him on goal difference  .

PREMIERSHIP

Dicko leaves the Premiership at the third attempt , being the phase’s leading scorer helping him , and Bruce makes a speedy return to the Elite . Callum remains in the Premiership despite going unbeaten through this phase . Buger’s stay in the league was brief , whilst Nicks drop through the leagues has gained some pace .

CHUMPIONSHIP

Jim and Nini make their way back to the Premier , whilst Ady , Rich and Cocker seem to have taken up squatters rights within the Chumpionship .

THIS WEEKS FIXTURES

OVERALL STANDINGS

Sorry about this gents but there is a fair bit to read here .

Firstly please see below as to how the rest of the season is hopefully going to pan out .

There are a few notable dates , the prime one being the transfer window evening on Saturday 11^th February at the Judes Ferry . All managers will be given an additional £50 million to revamp their squads , in order to do this I shall need to know which players you are getting rid of by the 7^th February at the very latest , this shall allow time to compile a new list of available players , also please indicate whether you will be attending . Anyone not attending will be able to pick up new players on a first come first served basis over the next few days following the transfer evening . It will be presumed that anyone not advising of which players they wish to dump by 7^th February are happy with their team and wish it stay unchanged . You can let me know which players you wish to get rid of , via Facebook message , email paulbutcher66@aol.com , text 07402073452 , or if you are really in touch with modern technology you can always write a list and give it to me .

If you are looking for guidance on who to buy and who to get rid of , don’t ask me , but please remember it is not just about new players entering the market , you may be interested to know that out of the 165 players that we picked between us , in the region of 20% were unavailable in last weekends games due to injury .

Eight of the new sides first action will be in the knock out cup quarter final a week after the transfer window . The draw for the quarter final shall take place on the evening of the transfers .

Following last weeks games things have become much clearer as we approach the final weekend of phase three .

In the Elite League Stalker is definitely safe , and it is highly unlikely that Boz shall face the drop into the Premier . Rob is relegated having not won a game yet in this phase , and he shall be joined by Rick . That is unless Rick can record a big win over Stalker .

The Premiership as per usual is much less clear cut , albeit Nick and Buger are both relegated to the Chumpionship . As far as promotion goes Bruce Richardson shall definitely be playing in the Elite next time around , as things stand at the moment Callum is in the second spot , however he could be overtaken if Dicko can manage a draw against the league leader .

Big Jim shall be playing Premier next time following his promotion , who goes up with him , it could be any one of Ady , Nini and Rich .  

LAST WEEK’S RESULTS

The strangest thing about last week’s results was the effect a ‘bye’ week can have on a side . The Elite saw Stalker scoring forty-one points which would have afforded him four goals , thus getting a minimum of a draw had he played , likewise Dicko recorded forty points in the Premiership and would have beaten anyone else in his league . On the other hand Nini in the Chumpionship recorded four points and would therefore have lost against any opposition .
