It’s been a heavy couple of weeks in the fantasy football and there have been a couple of new chancers making their way into the top ten as we draw to the end of the first season of Sick Chirpse’s finest competition. Last time we posted Tom Sands’ Prison Break FC were back repping and making their way back up to the top but since then the spoils have been shared every week by a different team.
Week 33 saw the rise of Ryan Williams’ Dirty Buffalo who hit 74 to take them up to third place for a week or two, whilst week 34 saw Mike Magee’s Mickey T FC rack up 46 as he attempted to scramble his way back into the Top 30. Week 35 was a bad week all round for anyone who knows anything about football which saw Dan Haviland’s Warriors and their 46 points make him top scorer but I’m not sure if that is gonna make him feel any better about himself in 75th position.
102 points for Terry Buckingham’s Real Madras sees them squeeze into the top 20 for the first time in a while whilst last week seen the reinvention of Tom Shipley and his Apocalypse Dudes hitting 68 to take them back into 4th and only 42 off top spot. The plaudits of the month have to go to the man who has been occupying top spot for too long now as Shane Tremlin’s Trems Trash scored 283 as he begins counting his money up at the top.
It’s gonna take some serious transfer use and good luck to catch the boy now but it isn’t out of sight for a couple of fantasy league big dogs. Arguably any of the Top 6 and maybe even 7 could catch him but they have to utilise every last transfer perfectly and the majority missed out on the big ticket that was Benteke’s hat-trick on Monday.
APRIL’S BIG HITTERS
There’s a couple of people that we could easily talk about over the last month – there is RVP finally getting over his goal drought and helping take Man Utd to their 20th league title by knocking in a hat-trick, there’s Daniel Sturridge and Coutinho doing their best to light the way for a Liverpool future without Suarez – but across the whole month three of the Premierships finest have really stood out.
To start things off Leighton Baines is making another appearance in the big hitters on the basis that over the last 5 weeks he’s notched up 33 points with a bag load of assists and that doesn’t even describe half of the wonders he is pulling at Everton as he helps steer them to closing in on the Champs League places. A well deserved place in Europe next year, possibly a seat on the Man Utd first team bus and a place in the PFA team of the year awaits this fantastic left back.
The second of the power three has to be the big man – tekkers himself – Christian Benteke. The one man power house is still scoring for fun as well as the love of hitting the net. Who is the only Villa player to score more than 20 Prem goals in one season? Is it Dalian Atkinson? No. Is it Dwight Yorke? No. It is the mild mannered janitor Hong-Kong Fooey? No. It’s only bloody tekkers. With 42 points including the 17 he notched up on Monday night he is doing all the right things and is clearly one of the shining young talents of the Premier League – just a shame for him that someone else’s star is shining a bit brighter.
Introducing the PG Tips Monkey himself, Gareth Bale. Gareth Bale has only played in 3 of Spurs’ last 5 Premier League games but he has still managed 10 points in each of these in terms of fantasy football. Anyone who trusted in Bale coming back from his injury and still firing big time was repaid for the faith. Whilst taking the plaudits for player of the year, young player of the year and writers’ player of the year he will most likely win fantasy football player of the year. Basically, if you don’t have him in your team (me) then you aren’t gonna win toffee this year. Just deal with it. When he isn’t busy being found out on Twitter you can guarantee he’s thinking exactly how he’s gonna spank the ball in the top bin or spend his signing on fee for Real next season.
BIG SHITTER
Luis Suarez has spent his entire season going from Big Hitter to Big Shitter with a heavy mixture of pure class and sadomasochistic tendencies, however, we don’t wanna give him any more press than Mike Tyson has all ready allowed him. Here’s the video of him chomping on Ivanovic and getting banned for more games than being a racist – you work it out. Tosser.

Wed 8 May 2013 – Premier League
- Chelsea v Tottenham 19:45
Fulham sure up their Premier League status and someone reminds Berba that the season isn’t officially over yet. He scores. Norwich and Villa battle hard but the away team snatch a 2-1 victory. Swansea continue with their inability to win since the Carling Cup Final as Man City do them away – Yaya has a stormer. Spurs see off Southampton despite Rickie Lambert’s cheeky goal in their hunt for Champs League football. Lukaku has another stormer as West Brom play out a draw with Wigan…Martinez’s ass starts to quiver at the thought of relegation. Hammers play out a draw with the Toon leaving Pardew on the verge of taking the Magpies down. Uncle ‘arry tries to shut up shop but Arsene Wenger and Podolski have other ideas. Away win. Liverpool and Everton play out a draw as do Chelsea despite Man Utd having nothing to play for. Sunderland beat Stoke in a terrible game.
Then the extra games that give you chance to use your transfers to get double points…Man City score goals and beat West Brom. Facts. Chelsea do their best to shut down Bale but two draws in a row sees them starting to worry about their Champs League chances.
Here’s how the Sick Chirpse League looks guys…there’s still a chance to play your last hand and go for the big money:
