Meyer & Mueller Remain on Top

Amish Rake Fight Sits in Second, 28.15 Points Off the Pace

Make it three weeks in a row for the dynamic duo of Danny Mueller and Ron Meyer as their Average Joes squad managed to fight off all comers to keep their overall lead in the 2021 FFPC Main Event by tallying a 164.9 score. Doing the heavy lifting for Average Joe was Ja'Marr Chase (34.1), Mike Evans (31.6) and Tom Brady (26.55). Second-place Giuseppe Liantonio's Amish Rake Fight remains within striking distance, trailing Average Joe by fewer than 30 points.

Dominic Baranyi's Go Bills squad ascended from fifth into third place with the Step Brozzo's (run by Matt Cozzo) fell one spot to fourth. Rounding out this week's top five is Nick Thompson's squad, which rose five spots from tenth place last week.

2021 Big Payback Leagues Update

In the Big Payback League #1 after seven weeks of play, Brian Owens is dominating play with a 7-0 record and 26 victory points. Notching a 167.45 score, Owens' No Mercy squad was led by Kupp, Tagovailoa, Gesicki and Samuel and remains six victory points over Patrick Daly's Wall Street Warrior.

Over in the Big Payback #2, Ron Gaché's Shake-N-Bake is leading the other 11 teams with 20 victory points. Damien Harris (25.3), Terry McLaurin (25.2) and Gesicki were the stars for Shake-N-Bake in Week 7, as the squad is one VP up on Patrick Daly's Wall Street Warrior, which finds itself in second place in this competition as well.

Finally, in Big Payback #3, Kevin and Brad Brophy have managed their OasisNeals entry to the top with 21 victory points, one VP ahead of David Coman and Roger Jareds' JarCo squad. The Brophys got big contributions from both Kupp and McLaurin in Week 7 as they try to hold their lead the rest of the way.

The Big Payback leagues were held at Planet Hollywood at the 2021 FFPC Live Events in September. The champions in these leagues will pocket $25,000 at the end of the year, with $15,000 going to second and $5,000 to third after the top two regular season teams are awarded $5,000 for their efforts. Good luck to all the players the rest of the way!
