Looking back at the recent past it’s hard to recall a sensation that evoked as much of a response as did the Sardar boys opening day stunning dual victories over the defending champion and a guy who finished top 3k in points in the world last year. Their managerial prowesses have been called into question, producing such gems as:
“Not sure if Faris auto-selected or is just picking cool names to have on his team.”
“Our highest scorer didn’t even bother to pick a team of starting players or naming it.”
“Mucha(dos) wishes there was an auto-compete button.”
Week 2 is upon us. Back to back losses could leave some big names in a hole early. Last week’s ranking in ellipses. First place votes following the team name.
1.(3) AnythingAyewCanDo… (42)
The only team in the Preseason Top 7 that got a win in week one. When Manager Rich gets going he can be tough to catch.
2.(4) Could it b MagicJack (30)
Posted a nice number in his opening game loss to TBD. His Albrighton selection and team set-up has garnered league-wide praise as he appears to have picked right back up from where he left off last season.
3.(1) Haters Gonna Hate (27)
Tripped up late in week one leaves Haters desperate to get off the mark against a stout Manchesthair United squad. Wegner and Herrington have been getting a similar question from supporters this week. “But…this is supposed to be our year…right?”
4.(2) 4xMLS Fantasy Champ (1)
Put up a solid week one score only to be nipped late by The Muchados spectacular Smalling substitution.
5.(6) ManChestHair United
Left 2 big points on the table in an opening day draw to the Floppers. Looking for that first win against a Haters squad that has historically had his number.
6.(8) Car Ramrod
The chorus of voices tabbing Manager Cooper as the odds on favorite for Rookie of the Year continues to grow after his classy week one victory against the Young Boys. How will he fair as the spotlight continues to grow brighter?
7.(5) Downing Young Boys
Dropped a tight one against the heralded rookie in a match defined by his placement of the armband on a guy that didn’t even make the starting XI. Right on track for another .178, 34 HR, 71 RBI season.
8.(11) TBD
Can shut up his critics real quick if he can slay his second fantasy giant in successive weeks.
9.(10) The Floppers
Managed a opening day tie and has the opportunity to make a statement this week by knocking off the rankings’ newly minted number one.
10.(13) Dethohol
Stunned the fantasy world with some late magic against Haters and looks to continue his hot start against the defending champ.
11.(12) tig-ole-bitties
Took care of business in week one and is a name that is starting to emerge as a legitimate second choice in early rookie of the year voting.
12.(14) The Muchados
His week one victory has been scrutinized and criticized like few victories before. Can he silence the haters and get out of the gate at 2-0?
13.(7) Poppy Cock F.C.
This week’s biggest dropper put up a paltry 24 points setting up a matchup of first vs. worst this week.
14.(9) F.C. Pitch Punters
Will be desperate to get out of the basement on the strength of his early King Kun acquisition. Lots of questions marks surround this squad right now.
