Archer
🟨 C1 (BE)
WEEK 28 REVIEW
For the first time since Week 11, we have a change of leader as @one heads back to the summit with a solid week and bonus to outscore @Pwizardo with a 25-point swing and go four clear. @JamesL's healthy bonus score sees him consolidate third, though @es1 put in a decent shift too to stay in touch with the top three. @Archer (15), @Gabriel (12) and @holbeach ref (6) scored the only trebles of the week, all from Watford's 2-0 win over Luton in the Easyjet London Derby. 25 points and a full-house for Archer setting a weekly PB (was 22). Everyone had a Bayern home win over Frankfurt but no one had the correct 4-0 score, and the rest were a mixed bag but everyone avoided Doing-A-Spurs™. @Josh the referee was agonisingly close to hitting a 45-point bonus haul but his goalscorer assisted both, but didn't bag one himself.
In some admin: @OldNavyRef didn't put the Danish game as a '5' wager after banking the bonus points instead of a bet so I changed that but kept the same order otherwise. @stedaley missed the week unfortunately, and ES didn't put his 2 or 4 wagers on for some reason so I added them in that order. I haven't updated the statistics page yet, might do that after Week 30 or if I end up on a boring Zoom call / need to look busy at work / someone asks nicely.
Bet builder was quite fun but a bit of a pain in the arse, so won't repeat that. Handful of normal +5/-5 weeks then another bonkers one
