Also, the more teams mathematically involved when we get to the last GW, the better. Hopefully one or both of the other 16s can get the results in gw37. Then, it's just down to the final round, and it's never over 'til it's over --- Who will send Allison up for the final corner?
GW 36 What a Gameweek! Blech had enough fire power with Salah as captain and new transfer Rodrigo along with a solid performance from Lloris to get to Gold. That pushes him ever so close to the top of the table. Just a Bronze from being on top! Bunch of Muppets were right behind. Captain's Watkins for good measure and has three players in the 10's. Eze, Alioski and Allision. Solid work! ColdDogSoup FC gets bronze. New transfer Torres shines with 20 points! Plays the Pep rotation wheel with Cancelo in and Dias out.

GW 37 Lesson learned. Don't challenge blech! Tell a guy he only needs a Bronze to get the lead and then watch him get Silver.... First off, going from Honorable mention to Solid Gold is Journeymen with 67 points. He knows not to leave a low hanging Willock sitting on a tree. 11 points there and outstanding performances from Phillips and Richarlson along with Benteke's 4 game goal streak and Captian Alexander-Arnold are just enough to get gold. 1 point behind was blechs_dawgs and Tangers FC. Tangers FC had triple Liverpool, with Captain Mane, Alisson and Robertson for more than half the team points. Phil Foden, usally saved for the Champions League, got to bang in a goal and get maximum bonus points. Blech also had triple Liverpool. Captain Salah was a bust but 13 points for Phillips and 8 for Firmino must have been a pleasure to watch roll in. Second maybe to the adage of never sell a Golden Goose. I mean Gundogan. It was a gameweek to remember. Goes top of VSR and top of the Fantasy Olympics in one fell swoop! Glorydaze and Sasha Juniors will need to score Bronze or better to overtake blech. That is if blech doesn't medal again.

GW 38 Lokomotiv Lewisham end the season strong with promotion to VSR and nearly winning Sand in the final gameweek with an overall 4th place finish in All Rocks! Captain Mane gets the brace and further offensive power comes from Kane, Jesus, Mahrez and Coufal. Coufal is also with a clean sheet along with Holding and Robertson. 85 points is a huge score for a single gameweek and one where you were scrambing to get a starting 11. Top Shelf nearly hit 80 to win Silver. Captain's Bamford as a farewell to that fantastic post-Draft pre-Gameweek 1 kick off transfer that paid off all season long. Four clean sheets and then fine combo of McGoldrick and DeBruyne as the two top scorers on the squad for the gameweek. Then there is Bronze. Blech won't stop with the winning gameweek transfers. This time Pepe. How does he know that the guy is good for two braces in a row? Maybe the same way you get 7 players to goal or assist. Any matter, that is good for Bronze and some fun chat at the Club Room. Nothing like walking around with 10 medals around your neck and getting to tell the classic tale of coming from behind and the unexpected. Congratulations blech! Job well done. Repeat?

Coming from you, with one of the all-time dominant performances that we've ever seen, I'll take it. Thanks for the congratulations and thanks for taking over the competition, even without weekly songs from the 70s! I can pretty safely promise that there won't be a repeat. I got hit by a very fortuitous string of good luck down the stretch, with several pick ups that struck immediate gold, and I have no delusions about this and am very confident that I won't see a run like that again. I'm simply going to enjoy it for as long as I can. (You do the same!)
