Gameweek 37 of the 2017-18 FPL season saw one of the most unexpected winners. England international cricketer Stuart Broad won the Manager of the Week award after beating almost six million fantasy managers. The fast bowlerโs bench boost chip was absolutely spot on. 46 points from captain Aubameyang and 19 points from West Ham goalkeeper Adriรกn helped him reach 169 points. Coincidentally, this points total is exactly the same as his highest batting score in international cricket. The former England captain scored 169 runs in a test match against Pakistan at Lordโs in August 2010 as he put up a world record 332-run eighth-wicket partnership with fellow centurion Jonathan Trott. This is still the second-highest score by any number nine batsman in test cricket. Broad rates his FPL achievement among his top three career highlights and still takes it very seriously. He loves to drive his friends crazy at home by serving tea in the same cup he received as a prize.
