Business as usual for Fred this week who keeps a six-point lead. His team strolled to a win over Final Fantasy with Dimitar Berbatov on target and heading towards the Golden Boot award. You need a good striker but let's not forget the contribution of Fred's defence this season and they notched three more cleans this week. It was comfortable for Boston Rock too who clearly aren't giving up the title lightly. Two from Andy Carroll in a 3-0 win over Bassett keeps Sheriff just about in touch.

A big win for the Muppets over the slumping CFJs this week. Ryan's team were led by two goals and an excellent performance by Danny Sturridge, he could be a great find for the future. Matthew Etherington scored a super solo goal for Chris but he's down to seventh and will have an eye on next season now. The fabulous Artisans moved level on points with Trusted after giving that team a 4-0 beating. Headed goals from C-Y Lee and James Collins had Ben in control by mid-way through the first half and David (Junior) Hoilett caught Beef's defence napping to make it three just before half-time. Both these teams need some consistency if they're to challenge for major honours anytime soon.

The Aardvarks are in the top six for the first time since week 8. Luca Modric and Dirk Kuyt struck for Ady but a Diniyar Bilyaletdinov bullet reduced the deficit for Nil Satis right on half-time. Surprisingly that was the end of the scoring. It was a much better performance from Paul's team, with four clean sheets cancelled in this one, but he's still four points adrift at the bottom. The mid-table battle is now desperately tight after Claymore beat San Dimas in the Cup Final rehearsal. This was a cracker with both teams leading at various points and Phil Bardsley blasting home a free-kick before a Branislav Ivanovic clean won the game for Clive. It probably means the Cup Final will be rubbish now!

Athletico Phoenix benefitted from that result and after their 5-1 over York's Brian's team are still in the eighth place shake-up. Robin van Persie was on target again but Brian will be more pleased that some of his other players chipped in for a change. Julian, on the other hand, may have to kiss goodbye to his outside hope of a top ten spot. The Parrots are the other team in that mid-table mix but Dean had to settle for a point against the Mega Bucks with Kenwyne Jones super hit cancelled out by Thomas Kuszczak's clean.
