WELCOME TO THE GW16 REVIEW- VICE CITY
With all the talk of Grand Theft Auto 6 it seems like FFUK were in vice city world with 84% relying on the vice to come and save the day. I’m Ella Chatten, an FFUK newbie and Sports Journalism student at uni and for my first GW review, I’ll keep it short but sweet.
Bit of a mixed week, this week for FFUKers with Steven Smith (105th) leading the field with 83 points, however it wasn’t the best of weeks for the rest of us.

Lots of big talking points from the week with Salah scoring his 200th goal for Liverpool after a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace with a 91st minute winner coming from Harvey Elliot. Winning at the last minute is becoming a recurring theme for the Reds. With 70% captaining Salah after Haaland’s no show, 26 points isn’t a bad result.
Manchester City’s visit to Kenilworth Road saw them 1-0 down at half time thanks to Elijah Adebayo but Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish make it 2-1 at full time. Despite this winner, the thing everyone’s talking about is Haaland. 84% of us FFUKers had to rely on vice captaincy this week and its worth debating whether he is worth having in your team. Players like Ollie Watkins and Dominic Solanke are looking like favourites to replace the Nordic Meat Shield. Is there better options than Erling Haaland?
Son was Player of the Week this week getting a goal and two assists scoring some of you lucky FFUKers 17 points after an embarrassing 4-1 loss for Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Whether he’s on the left or through the centre, Son Heung-min is dangerous. Richarlison scores twice and makes it in the Team of the Week along with defender Udogie who was the first to score in the 26th minute. As for Newcastle, they look tired and in need of a rest. My double Newcastle defence killed me with Kieran Trippier having another bad game leaving him suspended for next game against Fulham due to 5 bookings, is anyone else thinking of taking him out?
Fulham looking on top form after beating West Ham 5-0 in a surprising week for results on all parts. Along with Bournemouth, they are both teams worth considering implementing into your team, with Solanke and Tanvinar on fire with great fixtures coming up. Fulham players worth considering Raul, Iwobi and Andreas.
Heres your Team of the Week, with me only having Salah, you can imagine it was not the best of weeks for me:
Now onto the stats. A very wide spread of scores this week.
Some statistical highlights…
- Mark Tarbox stays top of the table with Bealer slipping back to three points behind.
- Your top scorer of the week was Stephen Smith with an impressive 83 points.
- Stephen Smith was also your biggest mover up in the league, jumping 57 ranks
- Cole Palmer was the most transfered in player this week- by 19% of you FFUKers with 48% of you lot taking out Mbuemo making him the most transfered-out player.
Over in the CONTS league it was the unlucky Matt Silley who left us this week after managing just 18 points.
Thats all for this week, 1 more game week before the XMAS CONTS madness where 36 of us FFUKers will be eliminated in 3 weeks- how festive.
