City looking slicker.
J-League
Two teams managed to break the 90-point barrier in the J-League in Gameweek 10, but it’s still Christy O’Neill’s The Klopp End who reign supreme at the top of the table.
With an 88-point haul, Christy managed to increase his lead to 27 points, with Christopher Dooley’s The Jolly Ollocks now leading the chasing pack in second place.
Evan O’Neill’s Dutch Gold Gatletic occupy third place four points further back, with two newcomers, Ryan Kettle’s Doppelgänger FC and Michael Doyle’s Champs making up the top five.

Gameweek 11
Sunday morning’s North London derby is the pick of the games in Gameweek 11 and despite Spurs’ recent displays of mediocrity, it’s fairly certain Arsenal won’t have it as easy as they had it against Sunderland.
Managers should remember that while Spurs have been struggling in front of goal, they remain the best defensive team in the league, conceding an average of a goal every two games. Shutting out the in-form Sanchez, Ozil and company will be a tough task but will give them a much-needed boost if they can manage it.
While it’s the most attractive fixture for viewers, it’s not the most attractive for Fantasy managers, on paper at least.
Manchester City’s meeting with Middlesbrough, on the other hand, looks like it could be a good place to cash in, as does Liverpool’s clash with Watford at Anfield.
This week’s picks
Safe bet: Ilkay Gündogan (£5.4 million). Gündogan isn’t only a classy and in-form player in probably the best team in the league, he can be snapped up at a bargain price too.
The German international has settled into his new surroundings very quickly and is showing a penchant for goalscoring that wasn’t evident during his time in the Bundesliga. As well as his brace against Barca, he’s scored three times for City in the league and totted up 18 points against West Brom last week.
Dark horse: Wilfried Bony (£7.3 million). Bony’s goals against Swansea were long overdue as he hadn’t scored since the day after Christmas last year, but they could be the trigger for a prolific period for the Stoke frontman.
Stoke have won their last three games and with Joe Allen, Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri all in form, service shouldn’t be a problem for the on-loan Manchester City man.
Captain’s choice: Sergio Aguero (£13.0 million). A ‘drought’ of three league games was ended in emphatic fashion with a brace, an assist and 16 points against West Brom and though he didn’t score, he looked in the mood against Barcelona during the week.
