The Banterbury H2H Leagues are now in their second season and were originally formed to give a few of us seasoned FF managers a real challenge, and what started of as one H2H league soon turned into 4 leagues, due to its popularity
Based on the English league format we now have a Premier League, Championship, League 1, & League 2 with promotion & relegation (3 up, 3 down) with a knockout Cup run every 5 gameweeks. I also added a new competition this year “The Banterbury Shield” (where the top 4 teams in each league at Christmas qualify for a 2nd half of the season Champions League type format).
At the start of this season I had so many managers wanting to enter the leagues that we had to open a Qualification League with the top 3 teams at the end of the season earning a invite into the H2H Leagues for the next season.
Premier
It was a nightmare game-week for the top 4, as they all suffered defeat. Bottom of the table  Killer Instincts pulled off the biggest shock by beating pace-setters Cookie’s Monsters 89-77, while defeats for Reubens Rioters, Where’s The Dosh? & Bocadillo Allstars have seen them all slip a couple of places to 4th, 5th& 6th. New boys to the Premier, Arsene’s Boys, move up to 2nd and reigning Champions, Park Bench Exports, now sit 3rd  and both have joined Cookie Monsters at the top, albeit with a much inferior goal difference. Eddy Hitler XI lose a tight game to Buzz’s Bomb Squad 55-54 but stay 7th and wins for Gasco’s athletic, Horse FC, I LOVES THE CAKE & Pork n Cheese United keep them all in the hunt for a Shield place come Christmas, At the bottom two of the leagues big guns are now in the drop zone – THE MUTTS NUTS hit the bottom as they lose again, their 10th defeat in 12 outings, but the bigger shock is to see last season 3rd place Kop Warriors fall into the relegation spots zone. Wins for Kojak’s Fireball & Buzz’s Bomb Squad see them move 4 points clear of the bottom 5, who if they are not careful could become involved in their own mini league for survival

Championship
The top spot in this League seems to change hands every week, This week elleffcee has the honour, with WhoIsRonaldo dropping to 4th after a 69-66 defeat to FC Tom Tomsk. James 101 falls out of a Shield place to 5th losing 85-69 to Buzzilona, Gallowgators move up to 2nd, while Real Morbid climbs  three places to 3rd after winning the derby in the Kirk household and leaving his dads team, Pathético Morbid, rock bottom. A win for Son of a Pitch sees them take 7th spot & will now see him eyeing a Shield place. Down at the bottom, The Gallant Pioneers lose again and drop back into trouble, Red Magic win but stay in the bottom 3, Mito’s Mercenaries lose 82-56 to Balotellibubbies, meaning they swap places and twitter maestro Mito is now sitting just one place above the drop,

League 1
Well what can we say about the Powerful Potty FC? Still breaking every Banterbury league record in the book with 11 wins & a draw from his 12 games, they are now  just one win from almost certainly being the first team guaranteed a spot in the Banterbury Shield in the New Year. We love Manchester remain in 2nd and in pursuit of Potty, while Monty (CazDaz) & CFC (Awesome)  swap places in 3rd & 4th. Bodene’s Army win again to stay 5th, wins also for Bradbury Park Avenue & DavesRedDevils see them move up to 6th & 7th. Elsewhere wins for Fergie’s Henchmen, Nosgoth, Slumdog Mignolet & Sporting Abeergut move them away from the danger zone. The five teams at the bottom all lost so there is no change, with poor Nifty’s Hotshots  in 19th losing 9 in a row & The Special One remain in perilous position having lost 10 out of their last 11.

League 2
Norfulk-in-chance made up for last week’s defeat to win this game-week and still holds top position, while WhiteBoysDay lost to Wavey Squad & drop from 2nd to 5th with Wavey taking his place in 2nd. E For Idiot & CR win and they make up the top 4. Elsewhere, wins for Manlet FC & Denbow’s Degenerates move them to 6th & 7th. At the bottom, Prata manages to get off the foot for the first time this season and replacing him are destroyers, though all the bottom 5 are on 12 points so a few victories will see any of them climb into safety and away from relegation and the horror of losing their Banterbury Leagues status.

How do I get involved in Banterbury? I think I need to put my team to the test against you champs 😉
M & B – The final paragraph is all about the new qualifying league.
email Bench, Milky Boy
Yeah I see,I was half-kidding though. I leave for the US this evening, so won’t have much access to FPL, which is a bit worrisome as the likes of you monkeys will catch me
to be honest, you’ve only been delaying the inevitable anyway !!
This is my first time being a fantasy manger and I find it strange that when man utd were not doing well
You bad mouth them but after they won 5-0 yesterday
J.Evans is now a bargain player I never seen his name on this website before
they are fickle…. i dont know why any1 would use united defenders though. their defense is crap
You’ll become familiar with the term ‘bandwagon’ soon enough JEET, I’m sure.
It’s a regular occurance that when a cheap player does well for one or two games you’ll see a number of people buy them in hope that they’ll continue to impress. More often than not (Barkley) they’ll do well for a while and all of a sudden drop out of the picture, likewise there’s other times (Ramsey) where they continue to impress and that’s what you call a successful ‘bandwagon’, where a lot of fantasy managers get a real bargain for a player.
One of the most important thing about being a fantasy Manger is to pick the overall top point scorer
Who do you guys think it be for game week 13 I think AGUREO or LUKUKU
Morning folks,how are we today?
great stuff bench, still believing in promotion
You’ll be lucky to not be completely relegated out of league completely at this rate Prata !
demsie, on half point you’ll be behind
Haha.. That’s a bold statement right there Prata.
Not too long to go until 1/2 way either.. 6 gameweeks..Care to make it interesting ?
ok demsie, whoever is better positioned, in league 2, after gw19 choose the other’s captain for gw20
Prata.. Wow that’s a real hardcore bet ! and i’m a little scared by it.
But I love it !
Ok you have a deal, mate.
1 stipulation though, if I may ? It has to be a player who is not injured by the start of GW19
Darn it Demsie!! You missed a golden opportunity! The bet should have been, you get to pick who the other has to tale a hit for. 😉
too hardcore mito
captain an injury would be good as the other would choose a vice-captain to be the real captain
would say one nominate the 11 starters and the other choose the captain
Hey guys e mails for qualification league have be send out, check your inbox, i want to throw this out to teams in the league, as there are over 50 teams and only 1 place up for grabs how about we have a knock out round from GW36 involving top 8 giving everyone a little more to aim at with the final GW38 and winners gain the place in the main leagues ? thoughts please
Cheers
Bench
how’s just one place if three are relegated?
Brilliant, Bench !
I vote “Y” :dance:
+1 for the knockout rounds.
Sounds like a great idea!
I’ve read it twice and I still can’t work it out.. My eyes aren’t what they used to be.
But yeah, if Mito says yes then I agree
YOUR EYES MIGHT BE GOING, BUT I LEAST YOU STILL HAVE COMMON SENSE!!
I WROTE THAT BIG SO YOU COULD SEE IT AND I YELLED IT TOWARDS YOUR HALFWAY GOOD EAR!!
I believe common sense is one of the last things to go..
Right after bladder
Im with Demsie on this :baffled: :stilldrunk:
