ON A WEEKEND when there were some huge scores to be had, Deirdre Meehan continues to lead the way in the Champions Travel Fantasy Premier League.
Her team, the ‘Humdingers’ scored a healthy 89 points, with the decision to have Alexis Sanchez (pictured above) as captain playing particular dividends. The Chilean scored twice as Arsenal ran riot in a 4-1 win at Sunderland.
