Fortuna fortunes look up
It wasn’t a spectacular week for Barry Thompson and his Fortuna Huggies, but it was still enough to push the highest placed member of The Original Seven up to top spot. Three assists – Modric, Agbonlahor, Aguero – made up the majority of Baz’z points and he now has a 4-point lead.
Surreal Madrid Fish, Spartak Jihad and Greasy Chip Butties all rallied this week with 17, 16 and 17pts apiece. Demba Ba was finally in the points for Corinne, repaying the faith that she had in him. The trio now occupy the middle of the table, away from the turmoil that is beginning to spread through the bottom four.

Rabbitts unfazed by defensive lapses
It wasn’t a week to rely on defences as most teams lost points, but some managers managed to hold onto their position despite dropping points. Paul Rabbitts maintained his lead at the top of the Inferior Division, even though his rivals stole a march on him after a week that saw him ship six points. But a repeat of such lapses seems unlikely; Rooney alone should be strong enough to keep Partick Thistle 506 on form. Once more the ManYoo front man seems to be at his best – rested and made stronger by a long summer off.
Another 2pts dropped by Sam Lewis and the season looks almost over already for the Golden Boy from last season. Perhaps he should go back to a proxy next term.
Eight points dropped at the back for Greasy Chip Butties wasn’t the best of weeks, though a goal from Petrov did make some amends. It could have been worse; at least Corinne remains in midtable, and hubby Trev’s defence dropped 9pts! Ouch.

O Fortuna
Paul Rabbitts’s Partick Thistle 506 continued their impressive start to the new season (has Paul finally cracked this game?) but it was Barry Thompson’s Fortuna Huggies that caught the eye. 18pts from Baz’s boys put them into a commanding second place, despite losing 4pts from Cahill as Bolton were put to the sword by ManYoo. However, if you have Aguero in your squad, what does that matter?
Trevor Thornton was the only manager in the bottom four to get into double figures and it showed as his Stockport C*unty moved off the bottom up to eighth place after a 15-point week that welcomed back Hernandez to goal scoring form. Trevor will be hoping he keeps that up.
Not a great start for last season’s wunderkid, Sam Lewis. Just 6pts last week took Sam’s tally to 20 for the campaign so far. Bottom spot and only two goals to date… well, it certainly looks as if lightning will not be striking twice in his neck of the woods – not this season, anyway.

Chip Butties rise
A solid week for Corinne Thornton, saw her Greasy Chip Butties move up to second place after two assists from Petrov and goals from Doyle and Klasnic. It was a fifteen point haul that was easily the best score in the second division.
After the cock-up over Torres, he finally went to Hugo N Botty for ridiculous money. Too much for a player who appears to have peaked already?
At the bottom fo the table, Sam Lewis is struggling after last season’s stratospheric last campaign. Just a single point for Real Galacticos, this week means that Sam is yet to get out of single figures.

Suarez scores as Spartak take lead
John Ward was lucky to stay up last season and was most hurt that he lost out on acquiring Suarez in the mid-season scramble for new talent. Well, he has him now, and he duly rewarded his boss’s faith by bagging a goal on the opening outing of the season. It is very tight at the top, but it is a start.
Only seven points split the top nine teams, so there are no real early indicators in the Inferior. The only real news was that Torres went back into the pot after a mix-up in the accounting at the Auction. Who will get him now the transfer window has opened?
Paul Harding. Bottom place. No points. Have actually got a picture of that table on my phone, now. Suggest you all get your own screen shot of that little beauty and Bluetooth it to him.
