Gameweek 6 Recap and Awards

Welcome back, chaps. As Your Friend and Humble Narrator reflected on the thrilling action of GW6, the film Gates of Heaven came to mind. It's a documentary by Errol Morris about a pet cemetery that gets run out of business because pet owners and zoos were sending their animals' carcasses to the rendering plant (to be processed into food for other animals) instead of the cemetery. As a result, the ~450 pets interred at the Gates of Heaven cemetery were forcibly evicted, and had to be dug up and relocated to another pet cemetery.

The concept of a documentary about pets' final resting sites was so out of the ordinary, upon hearing Morris' idea, fellow documentarian Werner Herzog promised to eat his shoe if Morris ever finished it. Morris did finish it, and at the film's premiere in Berkeley, Herzog indeed boiled and ate his shoe.

This actually happened

How does this relate to Dude Fiesta? The awards will explain all.

Gameweek 6 Recap & Awards

Points Stud of the Week: Pop, Lock, and Klopp It defeated archnemesis Lampard's Lads, forcing Zhukas the Elder to basically eat a shoe on video. 

It's on the internet forever now

The Klopp Its are Points Studs again with a consistent team performance - not a single player over 20 pts - and recorded GW6's highest points total without scoring a goal. Lampard's Lads were not awful, but could not put enough pressure on Doherty and Tarkowski in the late match.

Those zeros became 19.75 and 8.75

Points Dud of the Week: Fulham's Michael Jackson Statue made a big splash in the transfer market trying to bolster their forward corps. New signing Timo Werner scored a lone point, while Ings and Che Adams were forced to the bench, making way for the new centerpiece of the attack. The Southampton duo would notch 38.5 points in a wasted effort from the pine.

Jackos' opponent Alisson Wonderland continued their resurgence with a quietly impressive performance. They finished with the 3rd highest point total, but that was only 3 points from Points Stud status.

Swinging back to the theme of today's post, Your Dear Friend and Humble Narrator must eat his shoe:

Stock Rising: I'm'Eric Laporte silenced the haters and losers (me). Laportes were carried to victory, and 1 point shy of Stud status, by a Bamford hat trick. This plucky club is back to .500 and solidly in the chase for a podium spot.

LUFC fans really need to write a "Bam Bam" chant...

Opponent On the Mendy played beautiful, flashy football - the relegation candidates recorded a jaw-dropping 17 key passes and 20 successful dribbles. Of those 17 passes that led to a shot, only 2 were converted to assists. With a little more luck, the Mendys could have had a huge week. Instead, it was all the flair of the Brazilian National Team with a Belo Horizonte scoreline.

#NeverForget

Elsewhere, Virgil's Big Floppy Wiener and Who Wants to be a Willianaire? played what may have been this season's ¡El Assico! - just 143.75 points combined. VBDTF were able to secure the victory and a spot on the current podium with the 3rd worst point total of the week.
