His advantage stretched to 25 points after what was a modest scoring week for the top three. Ashley Lloyd, in third, now finds himself just 22 points ahead of the five players immediately behind him as the league hots up nicely.
Star of the week was Tony Rich who notched an impressive 75 points, a total that saw him comfortably inside the top 100k in Gameweek 22. As with many others, captaining Mo Salah proved a smart move as the "Egyptian King" scored 22 points and Lucas Digne chipped in with 12 points too as Merseyside players scored highly this week.
In the stand-alone January competition, Megan Forrester and Brendan McKeigue are tied top with 142 points, ten ahead of Tony Rich. Both tables can be found by clicking the links below...
