14th-15th September
41 players were still standing as we resumed action after the international break with Round 4. Six different teams were picked in this round.
On Saturday, in the lunchtime game, Southampton faced Manchester United at St Mary’s – Carl Jackson and Charlie Folksman had picked United and they go through after a 3-0 win. In the 3pm games, Brighton welcomed Ipswich down to the Amex – 20 players had picked the Seagulls but they crach out after a goalless draw. Crystal Palace took on Leicester at Selhurst Park – Becci Morton, Cameron Green, Martin Emmett and Ste Milton had picked the Eagles but exit after a 2-2 draw. Liverpool faced Nottingham Forest at Anfield – 8 players were hoping that the Reds maintained their 100% start to the season but a 1-0 defeat ended that. Manchester City played Brentford at the Etihad – Abi Donafee, Adam Dealing and Matt Saveall were hoping that City had also kept their 100% record and a 2-1 win sees them through. In the tea-time game, Aston Villa took on Everton at Villa Park – Gary Storer, John Roberts, Kevin Murphy and Michael Grierson were hoping that the Toffees remained pointless after this, which they did after losing another 2 goal lead and finishing 3-2.
I’ve added a new feature at the bottom of this mail – you can now see a list of teams still to be picked for each player.
A reminder, I am away on holiday from 16th September – I will be on a cruise so will only have a phone signal at limited times so Rounds 5 & 6 will have earlier than usual deadlines – Thursdays at 12pm and I won’t have time to nudge people for their picks like I normally try and do. You have been warned!!. Deadline for Round 5 is Thursday 19th September at 12pm. A full update can be viewed here.
