2015 Season - Week 13
One Month To Go
Four critical weeks are ahead for almost every BUM. After last week the top five were covered by just 29 points (a TD a week different) while sixth to eleventh were separated by 22 points with two of those joining AP in the Conference next season. While Wayne and Dave G look to be up Cheryl was just 31 points behind David S in the chase for the final promotion spot. This week saw some big performances from Mark (see later), Craig and Daz which lifted them away from the drop zone, Aaron and George will need to respond soon. Meantime Johnnie scored in single figures this week after getting 10 two weeks ago and as a result needs a very big final four weeks to successfully defend his title. Meantime Cheryl outscored David S by 15 points leaving her 16 points behind him so she needs to outscore him by 4 points each of the final four weeks to bounce straight back into the Premiership. If we take the last four weeks scores and extrapolate those over the final four weeks current form indicates that H will win the Papas Fritas trophy, beating Mark by 22 points (494-472). Third will be Chief (462) with Ron fourth, a further point behind Chief. Meantime at the bottom George (316) and Aaron (350) will face the drop with AP while Daz (377) and Craig (393) will survive. In the Conference Wayne will be champion with 505 points and Dave G (463) will be second. In the battle for the final promotion spot Stampy will finish on 375 and beat Cheryl by 3 points.

Hall Of Fame for Mark
Congratulations to Mark who scored 54 points in week 13 to enter the Scoring Hall of Fame for the 12th time and the first time since 2011. He re-ties Wayne with the second most visits to the famed Marble Halls and he did so with only 7 players. Arizona has put RB Chris Johnson on IR at the end of last week. Mark has now replaced him with Kansas City RB Spencer Ware who will play for him from week 14.
Other IR replacements
Before week 13 Andy H replaced his first year franchise RB Justin Forsett with Seattle’s rookie Thomas Rawls, who repaid him with a TD against Minnesota on Sunday. Meantime George has 3 players on IR as Martellus Bennett joins Jimmy Graham and Jamaal Charles. Two Franchise players out on IR, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so injury struck. He has signed Dwayne Allen and Kendall Wright to replace them .Remember to check nfl.com/transactions and if one of your players appears on IR you need to get his replacements name to me by 11pm Thursday.
