Fantasy Football

One final table for completion 
The top 10 for this seasons NBTD TFF Telegraph fantasy football.
This used to be the best fantasy football game around, but with less prizes and the overall prize money being reduced, it is close to death.
Won several cash prizes in the past (about £300) and a box load of medals and trophies, but now just play for fun.
Used to be a Super Leagues prize which made it worthwhile recruiting lots of people, most seasons I would make the Top 100 and did win the Euro version a few seasons back.
Now you can't even find out where your league sits as their isn't a table anymore πŸ˜’

So this season just 6 players (up to 5 teams per person).
Probably because I ddn't bother promoting it on Socal media (only did so for the FPL one).
At least I won πŸ˜€ unlucky for Colin who did an Arsenal by leading for about 30+ weeks but falling away at the end.

FA Cup Final

For the sake of completion, if anyone wants to do the final FA Cup prediction.
 
Man City v Man Utd
 
Should be a reasonably even game, Man City should be favourites but will have one eye on next weeks Champions league final so Pep might rest a few names?
Man Utd will hope to stop City from possibly completing the treble and can go all out as it's their last game of the season.

Other stuff
Almost felt sorry for an English ref last night
Anthony Taylor got the Europa league final between Seville and Roma and it must have been a nightmare for him and his crew with both teams diving, cheating and surrounding him after every decision.
Seville probably deserved the win but as usual it was Mourinho's diva performance that gets the headlines.

Transfer stuff
Obviously don't want Declan Rice to leave but if he does I was glad to hear that Bayern Munich were in for him, almost a guarantee he will win something with them and get regular Champions league football.
Don't think I could bear to see him playing for another English club, and if he wants to win things Man City seem the only ones who could offer him that but would he actually get a game for them?
 
Most obvious transfer seems to be Harry Kane to Man Utd, he needs to be in a team who have a chance of  winning something and Man Utd desperately need a striker.
