Review
Well that’s a bit more like it. Helped out a bit by the postponement but I’ll take a big bet win and 15 points! Especially after last week’s disaster. Back up to 2nd and chasing Schoey down.

Review
Finally! A big bet win! Which saved me after wet spam gave me a fantastic start to the weekend with -3 points, losing 3–0 to potentially the worst premier league team ever. Make sense of that. Really hoping for a correct big bet result again this weekend.
Will: 10 points

Review
Well done Rob Edward’s finally secured Wolves first win of the season and thank you for the 3pts. West Ham are in trouble here what a stadium that would be in the championship. 10pts though bit of a mixed bag with 2 postponements but overall not to bad of a week.

Gameweek 21 Picks
Kieran
Stockport vs Huddersfield (BIG BET) - Away
Going off gut this week, although it hasn’t served me well before I’m hoping for a change of fortune. Huddersfield have been one of the better teams in the league this year but I imagine their fanbase were hoping for even more! I’m counting on them showing that in this match to put a statement win out to the rest of the league.
Leyton Orient vs Cardiff - Away
This one was a bit easier, Cardiff City are on the brink of becoming runaway leaders in League One, and a win here at a lowly Leyton Orient should be a must for a team of this quality.
Tranmere vs Bromley - Draw
My dodgy bet of the week. Yes Bromley should win this easily, but I just have a sneaky feeling Tranmere might make this difficult for them.
Sutton United vs York - Away
This one was an easy decision, York sitting 4th, almost 30 points above Sutton in 21st, this should be a walkover. Knowing my luck though…
Crewe vs Harrogate - Home
Another walkover on paper. The good thing about FA Cup weekend is that sometimes the it leaves some gems in the league that are easy Tipple picks. Make the most of it though, with the introduction of FA Cup fixtures next season.
Dover vs Hemel Hempstead - Draw
Got to go two draws a week right? Otherwise it’s just boring. With these two, mainly with Dover being at home, I can see it being a hard fought match and Dover hanging on a bit near the end given the difference in quality. But I’m backing them to do it.
Schoey
Stockport vs Huddersfield (BIG BET) - Draw
Stockport and Huddersfield are both in the top 6 at the moment, and both on 39 points. Stockport have a not so great home form and Huddersfield a mediocre away form. Huddersfield have had the better recent form but don’t have the home advantage. So I’ve met in the middle and gone for a draw.
Bradford vs Rotherham - Home
This seemed one of the more obvious picks of the week. Bradford have won 5 of their last 6 league games and have a home advantage, whereas Rotherham have lost their last 6 games in a row. No doubt they’ll somehow pull a result out of nowhere today.
Leyton Orient vs Cardiff - Away
Cardiff have let me down a couple of times this season but I can’t really ignore this one. Leyton Orient have a mid table home form, but Cardiff have the second best away form in the league. It’s also hard to ignore the fact Orient are 1 point outside the relegation zone, while Cardiff are top of the league.
Accrington vs Barnet - Draw
Accrington obviously have the home advantage here and have won their last 3 games in a row. But Barnet have only lost 2 of their last 10 games, 5 of which have been draws. I’m hoping they can fight for another point this weekend.
Crewe vs Harrogate - Home
Crewe haven’t had the best form recently, winning, drawing and losing 2 games a piece in their last 6. But I can’t ignore the fact Harrogate are rock bottom of the league and haven’t won a league match in their last 14. Only picking up 3 points in that time. Also the away team in this fixture.
Tranmere vs Bromley - Away
Bromley are flying at the top of the table winning their last 6 in a row, and 11 of their last 13 league games! Whereas Tranmere have lost 3 of their last 5 and currently sat 17th in the table.
Will
Stockport vs Huddersfield (BIG BET) - Home
At the start of the season these two were in my favourites to go up and currently both in the play off places on 39pts each. I’m going on a Home win this one, Stockport have had a slight dip the past two games both being played away from home. Now they’re back on home soil I reckon they can get a massive 3pts here.
Luton vs Stevenage - Draw
Bit of a feeling on this, Luton haven’t been amazing under Jack Wilshire they’re still in a play off fight but Stevenage is going to give them a tough game. Stevenage have been solid and defensively they have been one of the best teams this season. I’m going for a draw 1-1 at full time.
Crewe vs Harrogate - Home
Got to be a Crewe home win Harrogate have lost 4 on the bounce sitting bottom of the league looking certain for relegation.
Tranmere vs Bromley - Away
Backing Bromley on this, throughout the season they have served me well when I’ve backed them. They’re top of the league they won their last 6 games and I think they get the job done at Tranmere today.
Sutton United vs York - Away
Ah we’re back in the national league, love it. York pushing for top spot still only 3pts off top. Sutton on the other end well their sitting in the relegation places so you won’t be surprised I’m going for a York win. Sutton in their last 5 have lost 4 and drawn 1 and York are unbeaten winning 3 and drawing 2.
Kings Lynn vs Alfreton - Home
Kings Lynn have been slipping the past few weeks and I think they get the win today. It’s a good chance for them to get 3pts on the board against Alfreton Town who are just in the relegation zone.
