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.

Thank you for running this. As my team has started struggling this has been the one bright spot to keep my hopes up through the season.
I have done some back of an envelope calculations and think the bottom two each week from 25 onwards have been:
Week 25: Ratford United (27), Glory Hornet Boys (28)
Week 26: The Hornet Boys (37), Horns of a Dilemma (40)
Week 27: All Gone Pozzo (32), Horns of a Dilemma (39)
Week 28: No Fear Cavaliers (3), A game of two thirds (6)
Week 29: Glory Hornet Boys (46), A game of two thirds (49)
I think that’s right and I can email you my workings if it helps

Thanks, Adam. You’ll have noticed that I’ve brought it up to date at last.
I will be more timely for the rest of the season … honest.
