The league has a new look to it after the expulsion of two of the cartel members (@Joelinton's Right Foot for forming a new FA Cup Competition and @the #Cans Master for participating in this unsanctioned event) Leo Billy stretches his lead at the top to 10pts. HDQ leads the week with 11pts from LeoBilly (10) and The Ginger Marks and Albert's Chip Shop (both 9). Darren Peacock's Ponytail (35)is ahead in April from Q and Sammy's Silky Skills (32).

Obvious response by a megalomaniac dictator who is frightened by genuine competition which isn’t a closed shop. Any win now will have a very hollow ring to it.
Not many points around last night. The Ginger Marks and Merino's Ballerina Feet pick up 5 pts for a correct prediction, Darren Peacock's Ponytail manages to predict Mane breaking his long scoring drought for 3pts and Joelinton's Right Foot predicts a draw (1pt). The Ginger Marks is now leading the round and is now back up to 3rd place only 3pts behind Musty and 13pts off the lead. Darren Peacock's Ponytail continues his painfully slow rise up up the table and at this rate will hit first place sometime in 2022. After legal advice, and to avoid devaluing the competition by losing valuable founding members of the league we have let The#Cans Master back into the competition. We also let Joelinton's Right Foot back in to make up the numbers.
The old guard come good at the end of the round with Leo Billy stretching his lead at the top, Cronemeister moving back to 3rd place and Albert's Chip Shop moving back up to 5th. Big loser for the round is Musty Frog who has lost ground on LeoBilly and is now in danger of being caught by both Cronemeister and TheGingerMarks. LeoBilly wins the week with The Ginger Marks on 16pts, with Albert's Chip Shop a point behind. Darren Peacock's Ponytail still leads for April with the Bot Twins trailing by 3. Next round starts tonight but, with exception of Cronemeister, Musty Frog and Ben10 you have all submitted your predictions.

On to a new round and a few 4's and 3's last night as Vardy finally got his act together again. The Ginger Marks back into 3rd and Darren catches Albert again.

Only @cronemeister and @Paulpowersleftfoot picked up points (2) last night but these were enough to lift @cronemeister back to 3rd place. @Paulpowersleftfoot missed the predictions early in the week presumably as he went off to join some European Super Prediction League but he is back now with his tail between his legs.
Change to... West Ham United vs Chelsea 2-1 Lingard Sheffield United vs Brighton & Hove Albion 0-2 Maupay
Interesting stuff last night. A lot of zeros about but @GeordieHalfbreed picks up a perfect 8 from the Sheff Utd-Brighton game and a few 5's about as well. No change at the top but its starting to get closer again. @Darren Peacock's Ponytail finally breaks away from @Albert's Chip Shop and is now challenging for 5th place while @GeordieHalfbreed jumps over The @the #Cans Master into 8th place. Three more games tonight.
Waste of time updating after last night as maximum score was 2 and most ended up with 0. One more game tonight to finish the week and April. @Darren Peacock's Ponytail can only be caught for the monthly award by @Sammy's Silky Skills if Leicester beat Crystal Palace 2-1, Maddison scores first and Vardy doesn't play. He is also on for the weekly award if Leicester win 2-0.
A few 5's around last night but no change to overall positions. @Darren Peacock's Ponytail wins the monthly award with 51 points from @Sammy's Silky Skills (48) and @Q (45). @GeordieHalfbreed comfortably wins the week with 17pts. @LeoBilly extends his overall lead to 14pts as we start on the final stretch but there are still 400pts available so plenty of time for change. Fixtures for this week: Friday 30th April Southampton vs Leicester City Saturday 1st May Crystal Palace vs Manchester City Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leeds United Chelsea vs Fulham Everton vs Aston Villa Sunday 2nd May Newcastle United vs Arsenal Manchester United vs Liverpool Tottenham Hotspur vs Sheffield United Monday 3rd May West Bromwich Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Burnley vs West Ham United
