WELCOME to the latest update of Fantasy Non-League 2016/17. Today's update covers the period Sunday 2nd October 2016 through to Saturday 8th October 2016.
As we are now moving into the month of October 2016 I thought I would take my first look at how the main FNL table is taking shape. We are now two months into the season and like other seasons we are going to have a great ride.
Taking over the top spot for the first time this season is Dizzy Dazzlers who has so far scored 6,555pts. They have a two-point lead over second placed Real Rothwell and are 38pts ahead of third placed FastStarters FC. The top ten is currently covered by 88pts. The top 100 is covered by 352pts.
At the bottom which is to be honest my favourite part of FNL because I believe it is the hardest to win. DeeJay Losers are in bottom place with 1,966pts. They are 43pts adrift from their nearest rival YTFC. The bottom ten is covered by 154pts.
One of the new things that I introduced this season is really pleasing me and I wish I had thought about it a few seasons ago. The one I am talking about is the -5pts for when a team concedes four or more goals when they lose. A good example of this has happened this week with Hereford.
The Mixture team has been piling on the points so far this season and have already reach 295pts which is the third highest total in the whole of the competition. However, this past week Hereford only scored -5pts and that came about from their 4-3 defeat in the FA Trophy against Salisbury. So even high-flying Hereford can fall foul of my new rule.
