I will eat my hat if the Pixels finish, as predicted, between 11th & 14th.

@Monk

I think @Bakerman nailed it: Good keeper who is on the decline, very average defence, above average going forward. 

I think it's likely to be a close call for 4th to 6th and I was going to post the same order as yourself and Blackwhite, with Scammonden in 5th. But rather than have 3 of us posting exactly the same I decided to swap you with Wolves and went with 6th. I might regret that.

Out of interest I gave every team a score. No maximum, but 150 would probably represent world class. 

I then adjusted the order slightly because of other factors such as if the players were young and improving or getting older, the likelihood of draws against weaker opponents and whether the manager logged in to pick the team. 

This is how it came out. 

  1. Seaburn Beach 111
  2. Newcastle United 112
  3. Jaypridee Town 102
  4. Canvey Island 95
  5. Forever We Are Wolves 96
  6. Scammonden Daoists 97
  7. Bolt On Wonderbras 90
  8. Tottenham Hotspur FC 85
  9. Cardiff City 85
  10. Fuchsia FC 76
  11. Canvey Pixels 76
  12. Oxford United 82
  13. heavens light 74
  14. Les Gothiques Amiénois 76
  15. Vooremaa Wolves 70
  16. Robbing Hoodies 69
  17. Arsenal Football Club ™  62
  18. Birmingham Hunter 62
  19. Liverpool FC★ 59
  20. Mersey Union 47

Using the same method my own team comes out at around 60.

That's some formula you've got going there Numpty! I wouldn't disagree with it though. It's likely that my monks will finish4-7th and we should win plenty of games, but scoring against the better ones is going to be difficult. It was disappointing to miss out on Tyler Bleessing,but I'm quite strict on what I'll pay for a player and sometimes they go for quite a lot. I'm happy where The Abbot has got us financially and facilities-wise and I'm hoping that we kick on in the coming few seasons. Good luck all.

My favourite hats are straw berets! I prefer them with ice cream.
