Loved the JG days. We were so close to being at the top of the pile for the next decade. What could have been with a bit more foresight.

@Xela It's one point closer at the top! I reckon that it's probably too little too late, on my behalf, although the championship games are tricky picks so you never know...

I do wonder whether, at 22 y/o, his chance might have gone. I would want to see him in the Championship, or possibly a Prem loan first. Similar to Archer really.

He was admired at Newport County too, and sure is missed!

Definitely = 2

Just in case any Villa fan (post Randy) needs a reason to be a Browns fan...

Was going to say something similar. This is what an elite coach sounds like. A number of the players have improved since he arrived and many have earned a place in the squad but he's reminding them that their performances must remain high to keep their spot. For those that haven't made the grade, it's quite rightly time for them to move on. In a word, refreshing! And it's something that will improve the team in the long run.

Un[ai]-shaven! The mid-week flex on this guy is something special. WFH or don't want to go home?

And don't forget Getin Dembele who had a short cameo in Austin Powers

I mean, dreadful is a bit harsh. Theoretically it should work if those that finished top, agree that the balance could/should tip in subsequent seasons. Picking 12/13 in a snake is possibly a stronger position than 1/24 imo. The cream always rises to the top regardless.

Controversial additional suggestion for the draft order... Fix it to this years results but don't snake the rounds... Is that even possible?

It's always a mixed perspective but for me, this is the point of fixing the order.

Thanks for taking on the chalice @Beastmix, a sterling job done and bring on next season. Is it worth agreeing the draft order now so we don't have to delay mock draft season? Let me know if I've got anyone wrong here: 1. It Ertz When Eifert @Brumerican 2. Watership Brown @Xela 3. Cleveland Frowns @Hornso 4. Self Isolate @Dante_Lockhart 5. Lancs Villans @LancsVillan 6. The Brown Stuff @Tubby 7. Great Olof's Vikings @sexbelowsound 8. Area 51 ETs @abdomlahor 9. Amnesiacs @Beastmix 10. Punters Unanimous @rjw63 11. MAQ Attack @maqroll 12. Rhys @rhyscartwright_avfc With regards to the suggested point changes, my early opinion on those: RB - yes PPFD - no, keep PPR just less points i.e. 0.5 or 0.75 LB - not for me this, an added level of complexity that has the danger to take the fun out of it a bit. A suggestion - change the flex to W/T only, just to spread the RBs out.

I'm coming for ya

Congrats @rhyscartwright_avfc I'll take 7th for the 5th time in 13 seasons, but sign me up again for next season!

Nah, it's mathematically improbable at this point. My team would have to out score @maqroll by 200 points to get in A disappointing conclusion, but the record doesn't lie. Too many missed opportunities and freak weeks against. Congrats to the six that made it, I'll be playing to win the consolation playoffs from here on.

This week is going right to the wire between myself and @rhyscartwright_avfc a Buccs faceoff! Week 14 is going to be very interesting if it stays as is! I've never known it to be so competitive.

Sorry, but I didn't see you all the way... Down there! Besides, Jax winning didn't secure you top spot for the week at the final moment.

Play of the week!

Given that you have two players remaining this week I'm certainly not going to plant my flag on the half way line just yet, but in readiness, "thank you for your generosity kind sir".

Najee Harris has finally shown up... and of course he is sat on my bench!

Welcome all of our new Spanish fans to the 'Villa real'

I count one whole week that you have been awaiting the perfect moment for this Well played

I couldn't care. I want to see the manager of my club kicking every ball.

This is absolute gold, and how every manager should be.
