Massive thanks go to our inaugural season sponsor, ESL Fuels for their support with last season’s competition. A family business that designs, blends, processes and supplies a range of fuels for road, heating and marine, as well as producing innovative and environmentally sustainable liquid fuels, we are delighted that ESL Fuels will continue as sponsor of the FON mini-league for the new season.
Successful launch
A huge success, the 23/24 FON mini-league saw 71 entrants competing to finish the season top of the league. That glory went to the unplayable Matt Finch – who amassed an incredible 2,540 pts to win the FON mini- league and finish an impressive 28,510 out of 10,905,021 players globally! A shrewd manager, Matt used 34 transfers over 38 game weeks increasing his squad value from £100.0m to £104.5m. Congratulations Matt!
Second place went to Chris Nicholls with 2,474 pts, with third place being taken by Margaret Major, with 2,445 pts.
The wooden spoon, for finishing the season bottom of the league, went to Shakil Dharas, who lost the relegation battle with 1,100 pts.
