Smits gained a meaty 30 points from Pelle, who shined as vice-captain with a brace and an assist in the Saints 8-0 drubbing of Sunderland. The Strikers of Thomas van den Born remained in fine form, however, with Pelle also leading the line for the former IFRFFL champion.
Scores could have been even higher if it wasn’t for their captain, Diego Costa, sitting out with injury.
As we head into GW9 this weekend, gaps are starting to widen within the Top Ten, so sides such as Tom Attenborough’s Twenty Two Left Feet will hope to shake things up.
Who of all those sides carrying Diego Costa will bet on his return for Chelsea at Old Trafford on Sunday? He is listed as 50/50, but there is talk that his injury/illness might be more serious. Transfers anyone?
