Week #26 - Bournemouth Goals Give 'M1' Week's Best Score

Published: 14 March 2024


INTRODUCTION

It is sobering to think that we are now in the final countdown to the end of the Golden Boot Game. There are just nine more Weeks to review after this blog. There are bound to be a couple of blogs after the season ends but in terms of game Weeks, we are into the last ten. Time waits for no blog, so let’s get to it.

REVIEW OF WEEK #26

There were eleven strikers who provided points for the Golden Boot Game in Week #26. Solanke’s goal provided points for twenty teams. Son appeared in fifteen teams but provided less than half the points of Solanke. Only four teams had Semenyo, so his double was only the third best source of points. Isak was the only one of the other eight scorers to appear in more than a handful of teams. Three teams did not feature any of the scoring strikers, so failed to register any points this Week.

For the second Week running we had two teams making the top score. M1 had five goals to take this Week’s prize ahead of Lancashire Rover who had just four. Both these team’s had 22 points from the Bournemouth strikers with all Lancashire Rover’s points coming from Wednesday’s match. Like the Week’s winners, Imperial Boozeboys had four scoring strikers for their 22 points but none from Bournemouth. Magic Eight Balls were the final team to reach twenty points all of which came from the Bournemouth pair. The third team with four scorers were PJ Auxerre on nineteen points.

The top five in the overall standings remain the same as last Week. Magic Eight Balls have opened up a six point lead over Upforthecup who have also increased their gap to fdringo to eleven points. Sofy, in fourth, are still seventeen points behind the final prize place while Team Of The Weak are now just seven points further back in fifth.

THE TOTAL GOALS GAME

The five goals for M1 this Week matched their score for last Week taking them to second place in the Total Goals Game. Magic Eight Balls still lead the way with eleven while Ming’s dynasty are joint second after both teams added three goals this Week. PJ Auxerre and Lancashire Rover, two of the teams who scored four goals this Week, are in a group of six teams with nine goals that includes last Week’s other joint second placed team, OneunitedfanTrev, alongside Sofy, fdringo and BF Giants. The Week’s other four goal team, Imperial Boozeboys are in a group of seven teams on eight goals.

THE GOLDEN BOOT CUP – SEMI-FINALS DRAW

The draw for the Semi-Finals of the Golden Boot Cup was made on Monday morning. The teams were drawn out in the following order:
- Alabangers versus Sofy;
- Weakenders versus Magic Eight Balls.
The Semi-Final ties will take place in Week #29 which starts on 6th April. Should any replays be needed, they will be played in Week #30. We will preview the Cup Semi-Finals in our Week #28 blog.

COMING UP IN WEEK #27

Week #27 is one of those Golden Boot Game Weeks that lasts for two calendar weeks, including a Premier League break for international matches. There are, though, only four Premier League fixtures scheduled for Week #27. The eight clubs with a match this Week are: Burnley, Luton, Fulham and West Ham, who play at home, and: Brentford, Forest, Spurs and Villa, who play away. The first matches in Week #27 kick-off on Saturday afternoon. This means that the selection deadline for Week #27 of the Golden Boot Game is at 14:00 (2 pm) on Saturday 16th March.

Three of the four matches are being played on Saturday, followed by one on Sunday afternoon. That final match of Week #27 sees West Ham host Aston Villa. We will update our website shortly after the final whistle at the London Stadium. There are then twelve days without a Premier League match. Our next weblog will be published late on Wednesday 20th March 2024. There may not be many goals to report on but we will round up the news from the Golden Boot Game and the Total Goals Game as usual. We will also have a look at some changes we will make to prepare for the end of the Golden Boot Game.
