The Big One
It’s the BFFA Big One. The tried and tested (albeit inferior) traditional form of English Fantasy Football that requires each manager to build a team with a budget of £150,000,000. These teams must have no more than three players from any PL club, excessive transfers are penalised by point deductions, and everyone gets a Haaland (if they want one). Every team also gets to pick a Captain and there are bonus chips to play across the season – Wildcards, a Bench Boost, a Free Hit and Triple Captain points. This is a classic-style fantasy league, open to all BFFA managers past and present.
In a week when the average score was as low as 31.5FPts, 55FPts from Hung Like a Bony stands out like a mountain above the hills and skyrocketed them from 11th to 2nd in one glorious weekend.
Gloopy Yarbles held on to their top spot as their closest rivals waned. The Phenoms and Jaysokker moved up to take their places and the peloton becomes even more bunched-up.
On top of hosting a league for the BFFA faithful, we are also involving some unsuspecting stars of the game in our classic league. This week we are “inviting” in Premier League forward Antoine Semenyo. The AFC Bournemouth and Ghana striker has scored two so far this season, double his total from the last campaign and twice his current xG (0.84).
He wasn’t able to score this weekend against City (although Sinisterra, who was subbed on beside him, did), but he did find the net in The Cherries’ 2-1 win against Burnley and scored the opener in the third minute against Liverpool. Despite this, he has never played himself in his FPL team – TTGT. Semenyo signed himself at the start of the season, but the player-manager has kept himself on the bench every week. So far he has not yet been called upon to be subbed-on, but hopefully when he does it’s on a weekend when he scores. Currently, TTGT are top of the AFC Bournemouth players league – The Cherries Cup 🍒
Next weekend relegation-battling Bournemouth face Europe-chasing Newcastle United. We could see Callum Wilson and Matt Ritchie facing their former club. We will also expect to see a player who has given himself the pseudonym “Johnny Drama”. The scouser who has scored against Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Liverpool and Sheffield United this season, who has twice been booked against Eddie Howe’s former team, who has won the U21’s Premier League and the U21’s European Championship and has recently became a father, will be guest-starring in The BFFA Big One right here next week.
Have a good one! 🙂
