dangle's overall consistency over the past two weeks leaves him firmly in the lead for one of the two FPL spots as the third week of January gets underway, with Stefan "Lacore" Paunovic trailing by 90 points in second place. Rampage is not far behind as he resides just eight points below Lacore, threatening to steal away his spot on the board with plenty of matches yet to play out before the end of the month.
