Gameweek 13 brought fireworks: a monster weekly win, a handful of double-digit climbs in the overall table, and a title chase that’s tightening behind a runaway leader.
Manager of the Week
Subbuteo Kings topped the gameweek with 314.2—just edging Barnsley Steelers (313.9) and Stick wizards (303.6). That’s an elite 300+ performance tier and exactly the kind of surge that can change a season’s trajectory.
Team of the Week (by position)
- F: Cole Ully (56) – clinical and clutch, pacing all skaters.
- F: Tim Doherty (52) – relentless production in all the right moments.
- F: Matt Alfaro (48) – rounded scoring line that drove his team’s totals.
- D: Jere Vertanen (29) – best blue-liner of the week.
- D: Zsombor Garát (25) – rock-solid two-way return.
- G: Justin Fazio (26.7) – two wins, 67 saves, the difference-maker in net.
Gameweek Headlines
- The Kessel Run kept the throttle open with 291.3 in the weekly table—one of the top marks—and that momentum shows in the overall climb (see movers below).
- Where’d ya get ya Carr from aye posted 275.2 on the week, helping consolidate a top-10 overall spot.
Title Race & Top 10 (Overall)
Jere the Berry remains the pacesetter at the summit with 4044.9. The chasing pack closed a touch—Belaks Blaze (3787.6) leads that pursuit after a strong week, with Ulett The Dogs Out (3674.6) and District 5 (3673.7) virtually level in a duel for the final podium step. Rounding out the ten: The Flying Puckhits, A Team Has No Name, The Kessel Run, Reading Royals, Tallbergs Predators, and Where’d ya get ya Carr from aye.
Biggest Movers (Overall vs last week)
A few managers absolutely rocketed up the table (and a couple had a week to forget). Highlights below compare positions after GW12 to positions after GW13:
- Barnsley Steelers: 47 → 30 (+17) – one of the biggest leaps anywhere; that GW13 runner-up score did damage.

- Blazin’ Squad: 49 → 35 (+14) – into mid-table with momentum.
- Subbuteo Kings: 22 → 17 (+5) – weekly winners and a healthy jump.
- PEYHockey: 28 → 23 (+5) – best stretch of the season so far.
- A Grande Chase: 33 → 28 (+5) – steady climb continues.
- The Kessel Run: 10 → 7 (+3) – knocking on the door of the elite tier.
And the tougher ones:
- No Dowd About It: 18 → 24 (−6).
- No Regretzkys: 35 → 42 (−7).
- Belfast Bruins: 37 → 45 (−8).
- Shakey Sheriff’s: 36 → 46 (−10).

- Subbuteo Kings – 314.2
- Barnsley Steelers – 313.9
