📊 AI Summary

Summary

Gameweek 21 was a league-shaping week rather than a headline-grabbing one. With a healthy average of 53.6 points, steady managers were rewarded and reckless ones quietly punished. The title race has tightened at the very top, while the mid-table has compressed into a single volatile block where a 10–15 point swing now translates into multiple places gained or lost. Crucially, no chips were played — meaning this was a pure test of squad quality, captain judgement, and bench management.

League Storylines

Beeden stays relentless:
Chris Beeden continues to set the standard. A composed 69-point return keeps him top overall on 1268 points. No hits, no drama, no wasted moves — just consistent pressure that’s starting to grind others down.
Grimoldby’s momentum continues:
Another excellent week for Louis Grimoldby, who topped GW21 with 75 points. His sustained run has taken him clear into second overall and firmly established him as Beeden’s most credible challenger at this stage of the season.
The mid-table logjam:
From 6th to 16th, the table is brutally tight. Managers like David Bailey, David Tonks, Abi Speight, Mike Flynn and olly barnes all landed in the 57–69 range, meaning almost nobody pulled away — but nobody collapsed either. This is now a knife-edge section of the league.
Quiet climbers:
Paul Alexis (+4 places) and Georg Coakley (+3) were the biggest movers. Neither posted outrageous scores, but both benefited from solid captains and minimal bench waste while others around them faltered.
Bench pain tax:
GW21 punished poor bench calls. David Bailey left 23 points unused, while Cathy Eckett-Brown, Louis Grimoldby, Mark Horton and Phil Johnson all lost double digits. In a league this tight, those points matter.
Bottom-end frustration:
It was a tough week for Amy Bliss, whose 10-point return was the lowest of the season so far. James Marshall, Ali Smith and Callum Bowness also struggled to keep pace, slipping further from the mid-table pack.

Looking Ahead

With chips largely exhausted and no safety nets left, the league has entered its most unforgiving phase. Beeden’s consistency sets the benchmark, Grimoldby’s aggression keeps the pressure on, and the midfield scrap is now defined by margins rather than miracles. GW22 feels pivotal: one big captaincy haul could split the league open — or cement the current order even further.

ℹ️ What are Template% and Diffs?

Template% shows how closely a manager's starting XI matches the most popular starters in the league that GW (the "template XI"). Higher % = safer, lower % = more unique.

Diffs counts how many of your starters were under 20% started across the league. More diffs = higher risk, higher upside.
