So we are indeed on the run in now and Gameweek 32 did not disappoint. The FA Cup semi finals were this weekend so we did not have Man City Man United or Brighton playing in these games. The most anticipated game of the week was the Friday night fixture between Southampton and Arsenal and it did not disappoint

This game did not disappoint. Arsenal fans think the League is lost but I have to say , they did well to come out with a draw from this game. They were 3 - 1 down until the 88th minute. It was two late goals that got them their point so they should be glad of the point. The usual suspects scored for Arsenal. Martinelle , Odengaard and Saka who are in most fantasy teams on Hive. Theo Walcott effectively ruined his old clubs chances of running away with the League. The irony of it all. Southampton are not bad now and ae getting some decent results of late. Too little too late however.

Leeds are in big trouble after their loss to Fulham over the weekend. They just cannot defend. They were well beaten by Fulham who were upset when the press wrote that they were on holidays already. This stirred them up at the wrong time for Leeds and Harry Wilson and Pereira put them to the sword.

West Ham made mince meat out of Bournemouth and their late surge in the season made the boards decision to stick with Moysey the correct one. This could be West Hams most successful ever season if they win a European Cup. They are in the semi finals now so what will happen to David Moyes if they win it. I think everybody is under the impression that it is Moyes last season at the club but I dount it if he brings home the silverwear.
Michael Antonio has had the worst season at West Ham but the heavyweight is final scoring again. West Ham's problem is scoring but with 4 players on the scoresheet on Sunday, Moyes must be delighted. West Ham are nearly out of the woods. A few more points and they are there. Bournemouth are still lingering above the edge of the cliff. This defeat was not helpful.

Roy Hodgeson who has won every game since he came back was stopped by Sean Dyke's Everton who slipped into the relegation zone despite a point at Palace. Both teams battled it out in a fiery affair but goalless at the end.

Liverpool , Liverpool , Liverpool making it hard for themselves as always. Reenforcements needed. It is hard to belive that Mo Salah is one of the top players in EPL Fantasy League this year. I thought he is off the boil. What do I know. A goal again here and 2 from Jota. Neco Williams scored for Notts Forest but they look like they are going down.

Villa are excellent. It is amazing that Emery is not the most sought after manager in football. He transforms clubs and plays good football. His only blip was Arsenal but I think they had an awful lot of problems at the time. He is back now with Villa, started while they were 1 point off relegation and now they are challenging for a Europa League place. What a job he has done. He has made every player better. They could not overcome Brentford but Brentford are a force now. Ivan Toney again with the goal. This guys stats are excellent.

Leicester picked up a much needed win to Wolves who are starting to slide down the table. Leicester are now out of the relegation zone after that win. Castagne and Iheanacho with the goals after Wolves went 1 up at the start with a Cunha goal.

What can I say. Newcastle did not go mad spending when they became the richest club in the world. They were cunning and calculated and they got a manager in who was not the biggest name but how they have thrived this season with energy and pace. I think the fans do indeed push them with even more energy as well. Newcastle are becoming a force to be reckoned with as they cemented a Champions League place with their 6 - 1 win. They were 5 up after 20 minutes. Some Fantasy League players will be putting Isak in their team for the last 5 games. He is on fire after starting slow enough. But he looks like he is worth his fee. Spurs were terrible and they are just wishing their season ends. I would be transferring Kane out of the team as they have United and Liverpool next and the team have checked out.

League Table

So Dens is still top and licking his lips for the top prize. Victor Jay is hot on his heels though and not far behind him is @borran. It is tight enough at the top and anyone can win it from here on out. Gideon Valour had a great gameweek at 82 points this week. Congratulations Gideon

I'm just happy that I'm appearing in the screenshots now.

Nobody cares about the league anyway. It's all about the cup.

We're thinking head to head leagues next year based on finish in this year's classic league. Top 20 into Division 1, etc.

Division 1... Old skool 🙂The top division could be the Global Super Hyper Power Elite Division of Awesomeness... or something.
