Sorry this is a bit late but … stuff.

And we lose a real WML big-hitter, with a new record high score for the eliminated team. A pretty high scoring week too so, to continue the now established theme, all you need is one team to have a worse week than you, but if they don’t.

So,it’s goodbye to Germination this week, with a fine score of 44 points, which was 3 behind the next worst and just about half the highest score of the remaining 16.

The details, then:

Week 24

Average Score: 59.63 (16 participants) – overall competition average 57
Highest Score: 87 – overall competition high score 146
Lowest Surviving Score: 47

Eliminated this week:

44 Germination (Martin Ingoe)

Safe this week:

47 Off to Okavanga (Derek Fabb) and The Hornet Boys (John Harvey)
Everyone else scored 50 or above.

Top scorer this week with 87 points : All Gone Pozzo (Stuart Brant).

Remaining Teams – 15.

So what happened? Well, this was Martin’s team:
GK
De Gea (Man Utd) : 5 points
Def
Azpilicueta (Chelsea)  : 2
Yoshida (Southampton) : 1
McAuley (WBA) : 7
Stones (Man City) : 3
Mid
Eriksen (Spurs) : 3
Alli (Spurs) Captain : 3=6
Sanchez (Arsenal) : 2
Fwd
Llorente (Swansea) : 1
Costa (Chelsea) : 8
Ibrahimovic (Man Utd) : 6

Making Costa Captain instead would have scored enough to be safe.
Bench
GK Jakupovic (Hull City) : 8
Def Koscielny (Arsenal) : 0
Mid Carroll (Swansea) : 2
Mid Hojbjerg (Southampton) : 0

Gameweek Position : 2,940,426

Moving on

This was Stuart’s team:
GK
Heaton (Burnley) : 2 points
Def
McAuley (WBA)  : 7
Coleman (Everton)  : 4
Walker (Spurs) : 8
Alonso (Chelsea) : 8
Mid
Eriksen (Spurs) : 3
Sanchez (Arsenal) : 2
Alli (Spurs) : 3
Lallana (Liverpool) : 2
Fwd
Lukaku (Everton) Captain (!!!) : 21=42 (And you thought picking Alonso was good call)
Ibrahimovic (Man Utd) : 6
Bench
GK Pickford (Sunderland) : 0
Def Daniels (Bournemouth) : 0
Mid Stanislas (Bournemouth) : 0
Fwd Anichebe (Sunderland) : 0

Gameweek Position : 89,873 – well done, Stuart.

And my score this week? A solid, if unspectacular, 51 points.
