Points in the bag or games in hand? It's the age-old question, which do you choose? Trusted are in the happy position of having both but after their postponement this week they are off the top of the table. Claymore have taken over at the summit after a six-goal stuffing of the Parrots. Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney bagged two each and are both right in the hunt for the League's Golden Boot award.

The Fabulous Artisans are now the outsiders of the top three after suffering another defeat. Adam Johnson gave Ben's team the lead at San Dimas on 90 minutes but my defence have been in good form in recent weeks and three cleans gave me another three points. No one's more surprised than me! It's not over for Ben but he probably needs to win his last four now. You know that old cliche about winning when you're not playing well? Step forward Aardvark Abacus who are two points behind after a Kevin Foley clean edged York's 1-0. Ady's team have the toughest run-in of the top four so will be hoping to stay in touch rather than expecting to. The defeat makes it 12 without a win for Julian.

It's probably all over for the Phoenix now title-wise. Brian's team ran into a Fred side who turned on last season's champion style in winning 4-0. Two goals just before the break, Danny Welbeck poking in a Patrice Evra cross and Didier Drogba stunner, set Fred on his way and then a late Nani goal and an Evra clean finished the job. The CFJs are still on a great run and Chris put four past Mega Bucks this week. Gylfi Sigurdsson added another to his long-range portfolio and Gareth Bale and Luis Suarez converted after defensive mistakes after the break making it eight straight losses for the Bandits.

The top striker for the last two seasons, Carlos Tevez, finally opened his account for the Muppets this season as Ryan's team beat Final Fantasy 5-3. It wasn't just one - it was a hat-trick for the Argentinian which helped propel Ryan into a 5-0 lead. Three cleans were too little, too late for Ceri. The Cheese Makers v Nil Satis was another postponed game and they'll try again this weekend.
