September 20th
Drop 40 goalkeeper Luděk Mikloško takes Elton Welsby’s Sporting Triangles back to the top of the board this week, putting them on 73 points. Only two previous champions have scored higher (excluding the now banned types of picks that Shameless went for back in the day). Can Russell Hoult form a hat trick of dead goalies and seal the title?
