We have a new writer on the books and it’s a warm welcome to Dan Crame who takes over the fantasy football league articles each week. You can get in touch with our new ‘Fantasy Guru’ on Twitter.

The fixtures in the Premier League have, as always, ended with another set of hectic results. With only six points separating 11th and bottom place we are in for one hell of a finish to the season.

REMINDER – THE DEADLINE FOR CHANGES TO BE MADE TO YOUR TEAMS FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF GAMES IS 11.30AM SATURDAY 8TH FEBRUARY 2014

Congratulations are in order for the top five teams after game week 24 consisting of; 

1^st – Dynamo Dan Dan with 1,542 points

2^nd – Premier Leagles with 1,492 points

3^rd – Crystal Palace with 1,490 points

4^th – Sum Ting Wong with 1,485 points

5^th – Palacetinians with 1,484 points

Daniel Bright is still sitting in the top spot with Dev Thakker in 2nd. There is exactly 50 points splitting the two sides. Unfortunately Sam Duncanson lost his 3rd place position to Edmund Brack this week and falls to 4th meaning Nathan Fletchers ‘Palacetinians’ made way for 5th spot. The only team to drop out of the top five this week were Darren Morgan’s ‘Where Eagles Dare’ as they fell to 6^th.

This week’s dream team scored 138 points and consisted of four Sunderland players, two West Ham players, one Chelsea player, one Arsenal player, one Stoke player, one Aston Villa player and one Southampton player.

The top scorer award was shared between Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Kevin Nolan. They both earned 16 points for teams lucky enough to have chosen them.

This week we introduce a new budget player review.

This week the budget player is Jason Puncheon of Crystal Palace. We would suggest putting him in your team because not only has he appeared in the official dream team three times but is one of seven midfielders to be in top form. He is a steal at only £5 million.
