2017 Season - Week 19
Best Divisional Team
The best team would have scored 80 points but would have cost a minimum of $8.5m so we replace $2m kicker Kai Forbath (11 pts) with either $0.5m kickers Jake Elliott or Josh Lambo who both scored 9 and you end up with a team for $7m that scored 78 points. QB Ben Roethlisberger ($2m 15pts), RBs Leonard Fournette ($1m 18) & James White ($1m 12) and WRs Corey Davis ($0.5m 12) & Michael Thomas ($2m 12). LeVeon Bell and Antonio Brown also had two touchdowns each but would’ve cost you $3m per player.

BUMS Medals Table
These gongs only go to those playing in the highest league in Fantasy Football who finish in the top three. So congrats to Craig who wins his second gold medal in consecutive years, to go with the silvers he picked up in 2011 and 2014. Not a bad haul for an owner who only joined in 2009. Two years ago he ranked 14th in the medal table, now he is fourth. Third is Wayne with 3 Golds and 2 Bronzes. Chief is second with a tally of 3 golds, 6 silvers and 3 bronzes but Johnnie who finished second this year remains the leader of the medals count with 4 gold, 5 silver and 5 bronze. Will you be in the medals at the end of 2018?
BUMS on Seats
On Sunday we will be at HQ at 8pm to watch the AFC Championship game live as Jacksonville travel to New England. Although the Patriots will be the favourites here is an interesting statistic:- New England are 1-5 against Tom Coughlin, and he is now Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Jacksonville Jaguars. We will be at Johnnies on Monday from 7pm to see Philadelphia host Minnesota. The NFC Championship game starts at 11:40 Sunday night in the UK so stay off the internet on Monday and no spoilers please. As always all are welcome just let the host know for catering purposes.
FINAL FOUR OWNERS PLEASE SEND YOUR CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! Remember first in gets first choice of changes if necessary. Final deadline is 9pm Saturday so we can swap on Sunday.
