What a finish. Shakey Sheriff’s edged Pour Some Sauce On Me by a wafer-thin 0.1 points to take Gameweek 16—494.9 vs 494.8. That’s as photo-finish as fantasy gets.
Headline acts
- Top 5, GW16
- Shakey Sheriff’s – 494.9
- Pour Some Sauce On Me – 494.8
- The Kessel Run – 485.2
- Blazin’ Squad – 460.2
- 50shadesofbowns – 459.5
Margins stayed tight deep into the top ten as well—the gap from 1st to 10th (Nottingham Trojans) is barely 55.5 points, so one hot night could shuffle everything again next week.
Player of the Week
Mike Lee was a one-man points machine from the blue line: 79.0 fantasy points on 2G, 3A with a GWG and power-play production. Defencemen aren’t supposed to do that to leaderboards—apparently no one told him.
Netminders’ corner
Three goalies put up SO-good numbers:
- Jackson Whistle – 59.4 (2W, 1 SO, 44 SV)
- Ben Bowns – 52.8 (2W, 1 SO, 78 SV)
- Taz Burman – 50.2 (2W, 1 SO, 52 SV)
Forwards on fire
- Anton Karlsson – 57.0 (3G, 3A; 2 PPG)
- Nicolas Guay – 54.0 (2G, 3A; PPG, PPA; GWG)
- David Booth – 47.0 (4G)
Blue-line bullies
- Mike Lee – 79.0 (see above)
- David Noël – 58.0 (3G, 1A)
Team of the Week (fantasy points)
G: Jackson Whistle (59.4)
D: Mike Lee (79.0), David Noël (58.0)
F: Anton Karlsson (57.0), Nicolas Guay (54.0), David Booth (47.0)
Most-picked vs. most-productive
Colton Saucerman remains the people’s choice on defence (211 selections). Managers who backed Mike Lee (97 selections) were paid in full this week, while goaltender popularity (Ben Bowns – 86; Kevin Carr – 76) got a tidy return via Bowns’ shutout.
