Championship side St. Pauli stormed into the Elite Stage of the Fantasy League Challenge Cup by topping Group 4 by a clear 5 points after some very impressive displays of late. Some managers in the Fantasy League will be sitting up and taking notice of the team after recent results. Before the tournament started, only one rival FL manager had predicted the Hamburg side finish in the top 2 places required to get into the Elite Section, let alone win it.
They started out with 2 close wins against DaddyNJacob, then once he had been dispatched there followed a win apiece against Emotionalworm, a fair result for games that couldve gone either way. Because of other results, St.Pauli were knew they were already through before their playing their final game against @WeidiusNUFC. With 3 players making their debut against premiership side Sturm Graz, Ngamukol had the most impressive first game with his brace of goals securing the 2-1 victory. In the final game with nothing at stake, the players from both teams gave an great exhibition of the game of football which ended goalless despite a glut of chances.
Carrying that success through to the League Cup proved a little more difficult as up against a WeridiusNUFC out for revenge, ended in defeat and an early exit. There was controversy after the game when news broke of a 34 million Euro fine for St. Pauli. Apparently club secretary Peter Pumpernickel was supposed to contact AGFL headquarters straight after the end of the game to submit the loss, but instead he was seen heading out of the ground and straight up the Reeberbahn for the evening. He has yet to make it back to work but will no doubt find his employment terminated when he does finally emerge!
