Meadowridge AFC – FPL 2024/25 Final Standings Review
Top 5 Finishers
| Rank | Team | Manager | GW38 Points | Total Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Free Range Chickens | Jeff Walsh | 56 | 2342 |
| 2 | JJ Kaos | Bradley Booysen | 71 | 2309 |

| 5 | cooper town | James Cooper | 51 | 2296 |
Winner: Jeff Walsh
“Free Range Chickens” clucked their way to glory! Solid consistency throughout the season, despite a modest GW38, was enough to fend off a late surge from JJ Kaos (who had the highest GW38 score in the top 5). Jeff’s balance of captaincy calls and chip strategy clearly paid off.
Hottest Finish: Bradley Booysen (JJ Kaos)
Scoring 71 in the final week, Bradley nearly stole the crown. If there had been one more gameweek, this could’ve been a different story.
Notable Mentions:
Iwobi Wan Kenobi and cooper town were just 6 points off 3rd place — one clean sheet or captain haul could’ve made the difference.
Salah-vating FC and standing on business both broke the 2290 barrier. Top 7 separated by just 52 points — very competitive!
