IKTS Week 18+19: Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! Due to the FA not allowing our beloved players any time with their families over the holidays, we're yet again having a DOUBLE WEEK BLOWOUT! Kinda like Arsenal's last minute blowout at Anfield *zing!* Well, everyone's probably trying to spend time with their families / frantically wrapping last minute gifts, so let's get on with it.

Scores!

The Podium: All hail amart612! This wunderkind takes top spot again, and surely only a late start keeps him from topping the table as well. hansdampf beats brownypts to second place by a lone IKTS tally.

Clever Pick of the Week: The Southampton hype train has taken some odd twists and turns over the season, going from relegation candidates to European dreams back to midtables doldrums. zombiejay, ramsfanindia, Pukas Lodolski and Captain Kirk 3 ignored the recent grumblings and were the only ones to pick up points from the Saints' 3-0 victory over European has-beens Everton.

Crisis Pick of the Week: Title-holders Manchester City, at home, versus relegation-threatened Crystal Palace. Most of us know easy points when we see them, but you gots to chill missed out.

Wishful Thinking Pick of the Week: Pukas Lodolski picked Arsenal to win 6-0. I'm not sure which part of that is more wihful, that our "red-zone"d strikers would put up six, or that our makeshift backline would keep a clean sheet.

Farewell top spot, we'll always have week 15. Steakballer is making some space at the summit, while a few players are only two good weeks away from breaking into the top four. Most likely me and amart612 will have swapped places by New Year's.
