Good morning, esteemed Coaches. Another fine Sunday of sport to enjoy ahead of us. Some big NFL games, including the first London game of course, the Manchester Derby. Maybe you’re like me, and you’re looking forward to the British Open snooker final, or maybe you’re more into the London Marathon. Ah, you’ll be glad to hear we’ve reached the point, a tired and laboured cliché; the LOC fantasy season is a marathon, not a sprint. Worth it, right? No. But now, an additional curveball, this article is not a marathon, it is a sprint. So, quit dawdling.

12. Tom’s Tyrants (0-3) – Down 1
They’ve conceded a lot of points, that’s fair to point out, but they’ve scored alarmingly few. It’s already starting to look dangerously like a lost season, and giving up early on draft sleeper Doubs instantly looked like a bad idea. The only way is up.
11. Burdettinators (1-2) – Up 1
Still not the biggest score, but a vast improvement. Seeing Henry looking like a first round draft pick, and his old self, will have been a big relief. Coach Burdett will be hoping that those first two horror weeks will soon just be a distant (and bad) memory.
10. The Legend of Zuber (0-3) – No Change
Anyone else have to Google the ‘Zuber’ in question? They should perhaps feel aggrieved at remaining winless (I’m sure it will boil into another accusation-heavy group chat rant at some point…), as they’ve had some decent scores. A couple of injuries and a light bench are starting to look more impactful.
9. U R Gould (1-2) – No Change
Not a lot to get excited about in Week 3, unless you count tumbling down the coaching ranks by leaving all your top scorers on the bench? Williams could be a steal off the wire, but it still feels risky thinking the Lions can support so many fantasy relevant players.
8. Patistan (1-2) – Down 2
My Jefferson hype is starting to look misplaced, but he is a superstar and will bounce back. Maybe London is the key? Patterson continues to amaze as a now featured RB, his career comeback defies belief, so perhaps he can inspire Patistan back to better weeks.
7. Napolitans (2-1) – Up 1
Mixed scoring across the starters and the bench, overall resulting in a good week. Hurts carried them to this win, but he has a good supporting cast, just like the real-life Eagles, they have the feel of a team who will be involved until the end.
6. Forge Flyers (2-1) – Down 2
The undefeated season is gone, but this one can be chalked up as a bad week I feel. They still have good players playing featured roles in their offenses. Sutton looks like the player they wanted him to be when they drafted him, now he just needs to get into the end zone. They fell more due to the logjam of good teams around them.
5. IKSAN (3-0) – Up 2
A good week with a very balanced set of scoring across the roster. Benching Conner and Deebo, so soon after the draft, was bold, but showed that they know what they have here. A group of good, matchup-based starters, capable of winning each week. Oh, and a questionable CMC.
4. Bear Necessities (2-1) – Up 1
Reminiscent of his MVP year, this may be a good season to have Lamar on board. Maybe someone should tell the Ravens before that contract gets even more out of hand? Pierce also had his best NFL day to date, in what was a very good week.
3. The Dream Team (1-2) – Down 2
Not good. I try not to flip flop on opinions, but I guess that is what happens when you rely too heavily on WRs. Some weeks, the targets (or TDs) simply aren’t there. I trust the team to bounce back, they’re still crazy loaded, they have just shown everyone their weakness this week.
2. Buccing The Trend (3-0) – Up 1
Now, normally that would have looked like a lucky win, and you could still argue that point. But, in reality, they had three major injuries, including face-of the-franchise QB, Tua, and still came away with 75 points and an unblemished record. Let’s see how they cope with the injuries in Week 4.
1. Gridiron Gang (2-1) – Up 1
Perhaps not their most convincing win, with a big heap of K/DST points to carry them over the line, but still a good week. This team has taken a fat load of points so far, they are giving as good as they get though, and looking strong. James Robinson continues to do what he has for the whole of his career, far exceed expectations.

Well, I don’t think I’m going to close in on Usain any time soon, but that was a relatively speedy edition. To those of you at the game today, I assume you have already left and will see this on Monday. In which case, hope it was good.
