THE REAL WEEK ELEVEN
...and for the second time in 17 years, what happened to last weeks post?
Week Eleven in the Subsim Fantasy Football League and we're not in Kansas anymore Toto. No idea what happened when I posted last weeks blurb, cause after posting I looked at it and swore about the typos.
We'll move on and and address this week before we get to Turkey week.
DONATE TO SUBSIM...AND NOMINATE SUBSIM FANTASY FOOTBALL FOR BEST OF SUBSIM.
Our match of the day this week, that you would have read about last week if the post didn't vanish, was the Banter Brigade hosting the Guns of Hochuli. The banter were at home for their last home game in the next two weeks as all the internationals cross the pond for turkey day. The Banter have hung around all year, and the Gunners have at one time jointly lead the league. The Banter went out early and got a sizeable lead before the Gunners ran them down and passed them. But the Gunners were all done by Sunday night, leaving just A.J Brown (WR) for the Banter to secure the win. Brown (WR) only needed one touchdown for the win - and in the entire Monday night game, he received one pass. Gunners thieve one from the Banter as they run out 134 - 126 winners.
In Australia, the Taipans, league leaders, were hosting the Drunk Monkeys, 8th place with only two wins this season. The Monkeys came so close to toppling the #1 seed as the lead changed back and forth between the two on Sunday. The Monkeys had an impressive Thursday Night with Lamar Jackson (QB) but the Taipans, cause their coach showed up, was able to make some positional changes. Taipans get ready to tour by defeating the Drunk Monkeys 133 - 108.
In England, the Helmand Nighthawks met the Who Dat Nation for the second time this season. The Nation were always going to be up against the wall traveling two players short, and the Nighthawks put the screws on the Nation. Cementing their seventh victory of the year an elevating themselves to the divisional lead for the first time, the Helmand Nighthawks defeat the Who Dat Nation Rises 129 - 112.
The final game of the week was the low scoring affair between the Boss Team and the Black Cats. In one of the worst performances ever seen on the field, these two couldn't work out who was going to loose, it was as if a win would decimate their lives. There were no highlights here, except the final score. Boss team defeat the Black Cats 70 - 55.
So lets look at the league as a whole and work out what the turkey weekend games look like.
In the Surface Skimmers, the Taipans at 9-2 lead the league and division by 2 games. The Guns of Hochuli though #2 in the division, fall to the #3 league seed by count back. There is a long gap back to the Banter Brigade at 5-5 and the Drunk Monkeys at 2-8.
In the Sub Simmers Division, the Helmand Nighthawks have stormed through after a handful of losses at the start of the year to lead the division at 7-4. A game back at 6-5 is the Boss Team, another game back the Black Cats at 5-6, and then trailing at 3-8, the Who Dat Nation Rises.
Next week we go into the longest week of football, and we even have games on Friday next week. Our match of the day will be the Black Cats hosting the Helmand Nighthawks in what could be a pivotal fight for the division lead.
As always, we'll be there to report on the games, and if the board doesn't delete it again, we'll post it after the final games.
Each week, the Associated Subsim Writers (ASW) will nominated their Most Valuable Torpedo (MVT) of the week, the single player who proved decisive in their teams performance.
Taking their team to the divisional lead, for the effort of 5 receptions for 156 yards and 1 TD, for a total of 32.60 points, the Week Eleven MVT goes to Brandon Aiyuk (WR) of the Helmand Nighthawks.
