Week 1 Recap: Winners & Losers
Winners
Week 1 was kind to many FMFL franchises, including a trio in the East, Bud Fox, Karl Farbman, and Patrick Bateman, who started the season out with a perfect week….In the North, Chalky Studebaker, jumped out to the lead, but has a host of franchises on his tail….Donnie Jeffcoat was the only perfect franchise in the South, and for now enjoys the top spot….And Babe, Bayonnaise, and defending champ Kiko Garcia share the West lead, each with a $500 week.
Losers
It’s difficult to call franchises that had -$100 weeks “losers”, but that’s what Judge Smails and The Beard of Zeus were in Week 1 as the rest of the East thrived….Larisa Oleynik started 2018 on the wrong foot with a winless first frame….Boss Hardgian, Face, and Waldo fell behind in the South….And in the West, Don Mattingly was the lone franchise with a negative week.

Week 1 Standings
Welcome to the 2018 FMFL Season from Kiko Garcia
(Editor’s note: The 2017 winner, Kiko Garcia, has penned some words of wisdom as we kick off the 2018 season. His message is below.)
A relationship formed on the streets in the shadows of Uptown Charlotte, these two Laurel Avenue boys spent their initial years of fandom supporting the average and often overlooked sports franchises. It’s only appropriate that their namesake was a journeyman utility player who turned very few heads throughout his career. But as they say, on any given day, virtually anything is possible in the world of sports and gambling As we are on the eve of another year and “Hope” runs rampant throughout our great country as gamblers feel that this is the year they will finally get their head above water and rise from the ashes like a mighty Phoenix it is only appropriate that this is the new face of a champion. Kiko Garcia!!!!
If this man can rise to the greatest of highest and capture the ultimate crown, than anything is truly possible in this great country we call the United States of America🇺🇸
May all of your wagers fall on the correct side of the hook and may your backdoor covers flow as smoothly and freely as the awe-inspiring curly locks of Kiko Garcia in the hopes that this will be the year that average and often-overlooked becomes the face of a champion.
